Toys and games were once the kings of Christmas. Before children had their eyes on the latest iPhone or tablet, on Christmas Eve their heads hit the pillow dreaming of Mr Frosty, Stretch Armstrong or Bop It!
That’s not to say kids don’t still want toys – the parents among us know they want for pretty much everything – but toys and games don’t set off quite the same Christmas frenzy at the shops as they did in years gone by.
Though we’re unlikely to see those days again, at least while Apple is still in business, this year we may find that toys take a starring role on Christmas morning once again.
