The ‘must have’ toy for Christmas 2018 is here…and this is how to get it in Ireland

It's back in stock next week.

LOL Surprise! were the one toy that every child wanted last Christmas, which left parents scrambling to get their hands on one throughout December. And this year, the company have managed to seriously outdo themselves in the lead-up to the holiday season. Last month, we told you all about the LOL Surprise! house,  a 3ft tall and 3ft wide set-up filled with 85 surprises, that was going to be popping up on lists to Santa all over the country. The not so nice surprise for the parents is the price, which is expected to come in at €200. Now, the company have released advent calendars - and while they are currently out of stock (yes, they are that popular), they will be back very soon. Inside the calendar is an exclusive LOL Surprise! doll, as well as 24 LOL Surprise fashion pieces. These can be anything from a pair of shoes to a full outfit, which means there are plenty of mix-and-match fashion opportunities. The advent calendar costs just €34.99 and, starting later this month, will be back in store in Smyth's. The toy store have the item currently available to pre-order, in case you're really eager to make sure you don't miss out. It is expected to be back in stock between October 15 and October 22.
