The BlogOn Toy Awards were attended by top industry professionals showcasing the best products available this year.
The awards took place on 8th October at the Coppid Beach Hotel in Bracknell and were made up of 16 categories, plus an Influencer’s Choice Award which is given to the toy or toys with the most votes overall.
Running since 2017, the BlogOn Toy Awards provide an opportunity for toy and game companies, be they big or small, to connect to UK-based influencers whilst raising product awareness within the media.
