Classics including Nerf, Paw Patrol and Barbie feature alongside new toys from some of the biggest brands.

Sinead Byrne, joint head of marketing at Smyths Toys, commented: “We are very excited about our unique selection of this year’s hottest toys for the Christmas period. In addition to some familiar items including Nerf and Fisher Price, it is great to see some new toys feature in this years list including Poopsie, along with the magical Harry Potter’s Hogwarts Great Hall from Lego.”

All of the toys feature in the newly released Smyths Toys catalogue, which is available in all Smyths stores nationwide. Customers can pick up their free copy in-store and browse the full range of products with over 300 pages of inspiration.
