Ready. Set. Lay-by.
Okay, so I know that Christmas still seems a while away (wasn’t that only last week?) but as we all know, one minute it’s the middle of the year and the next minute you are standing in the store having someone explain to you that the one toy on your kids list to Santa is sold out…nationwide.
This year, I’ve promised myself that I will be more organised than usual and avoid disappointed faces on Christmas morning by sorting out the gifts early.
Luckily for me, Mattel have just announced their newest toy creations which they predict will be on every kid’s Santa list for Christmas.
Here are the toys that your kids will be nagging you for come December (or most likely, earlier). I’ll see you all at the lay-by counter.
Animatronic Dinosaur.
First off is one that I know my kids are going to go nuts for. The Imaginet Ultra T-Rex retails for AU$129.39 and features light up eyes, appropriate levels of roaring and projectile arrows and cannons. Basically, it’s every boy’s (or girl’s) dream.
Post continues after video…
Barbie Saddle and Ride.
Barbie has had herself a little outdoors makeover and will be available in a set with her very own horse which she is able to mount with the press of a button. Clever girl. It retails for AU$64.64.
It’s unclear yet which, if any, Australian stores will be stocking the new items, however thanks to the beauty of the good old interwebs, we’re all able to fulfill Christmas wishes.
