Even if you haven’t put any thought into holiday shopping, chances are your kids are already formulating their wish lists. Online retailer Zulily just announced its first ever Top Toy List for 2020. This collection curated for kids of all ages will inspire parents as they get ready to check off items on their shopping list.
Preparing for holiday shopping is more important than ever. According to a new survey from Zulily and OnePoll, 7 in 10 moms feel pressure to make this holiday season great for their child due to the pandemic.
The inaugural list features the top 29 toys for families who want kids to…
- Connect: The family that plays together, stays together. Eighty-six percent of moms say it’s important to them that families play together. With puzzles, easy crafts for kids, rock painting kits, books and STEAM playsets, the whole family can bond, build empathy and learn.
- Move: With 63 percent of moms concerned their kids won’t get enough physical activity this winter, it’s time to bring on the energy burners! Get jumping and moving with these great finds that can work both indoors and out.
- Imagine: Sixty-eight percent of respondents feel toys with screens have reduced how often children play using their imagination. By choosing toys that encourage free-form play, spark your little one’s creativity!
“Zulily is moms’ best kept secret for playtime essentials at great value; after all, since our first sale in 2010, we’ve sold tens of millions of toys – think about all of those memories made since then!” said Lindsay Reynolds, Zulily’s resident toy expert. “The holidays are all about connecting as a family – and, in light of the pandemic’s impacts on children and playtime, parents are searching for toys this year that get the family moving, imagining and bonding across generations. At Zulily we truly believe you can create special moments without spending a lot – that’s why I’m so excited to unveil our first-ever Top Toy List, all available in Santa’s Workshop, our dedicated shopping destination for all things holiday. And since our assortment changes every single day, moms can find inspiration and deals on toys, décor, and gifts throughout the holiday season!”
Zulily’s top toys will be just one part of the online retailer’s thousands of new products launched every day, all up to 70 percent off. But once a deal is gone, it’s gone, so shoppers need to tune in to see when their fun favorites are available again. For parents hoping to fill up a stocking with a specific brand, they can go to that brand’s page on Zulily.com and simply “heart” it to get notified when it will be back!
