Did you know that according to The NPD Group, "Despite a difficult trading year for many industries, the toy market remained buoyant and resistant as overall sales increased in value by 5%, with the biggest spike in sales coming during the first lockdown of 2020 (+22%)"?
"Total sales for the year were £3.3 billion, maintaining the UK’s position as the largest toy market in Europe and fourth-largest globally." Wow!
OK, so if you've personally contributed to this sales spike (guilty), it probably feels like your living room has transformed into its own toy shop, right? We're with you.
Instead of accidentally standing on bears, building blocks and Barbies, what if we told you, you could neatly tuck them away in your little one's bedroom or nursery?
Thanks to the What's The Best team, who have been busy investigating the best teddy bear storage ideas, we've found products that not only make tidying away toys achievable, but options that are also affordable and fun for kids.
