This page has a focus on companies selling indoor and outdoor toys. Some of the other companies listed on the mother and baby page and department stores listed on the big shops page also sell some toys, so do look there too. The ones listed here tend to have more toys than most of the others. Also, don't forget there are some excellent children's books on the books page.
For traditional toys, the first places to try are usually Hamleys, Toys 'R Us and the Toyshop. But don't forget that the big stores carry lots of toys too, especially around Christmas and may have deals and discounts, which can make them cheaper than the more obvious outlets. It's not just MPs and Londoners who can buy toys at John Lewis! Not only do they have a massive range, but they also have competitive prices and they deliver free.
Most of the big toy sellers have the Toy Association Top 12 toys for Christmas, detailed below. The best deals will vary depending on whether you want just one or more than one. This is because there are some 3 for 2 deals (Boots for example) and because sometimes you have to take into account the cost of delivery. For single toys, John Lewis tend to have consistently good prices and deliver free. Click an image of a toy for more details.
