We imagine these will put smiles on faces come Christmas Day.
We may only be in spooky season, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t look ahead to the Christmas holidays.
Picking out Christmas presents can be a daunting experience, we feel you. Luckily, an online Irish toy store had compiled a list of guaranteed winners, as well as highlighting their favourite stocking fillers that won’t break the bank.
Mimitoys.ie takes a different approach to toys. They steer away from battery-operated toys and any character based or branded toys, instead opting for toys that are aimed at open-ended play, where children are in charge of their play, and parents will love to join in.
