The Toy Book’s 2024 Specialty Toys & Gifts Issue just hit the streets and it is full of insights, predictions, and products for independent retailers. Our showcases highlight new products that retailers should have on their radars, and the Specialty Toys & Gifts Showcase is no different.
It includes 27 toys, gifts, games, and more — from PMI Kids’ World’s Stumble Guys collection inspired by the battle royale video game of the same name and WowWee’s new Fingerlings Care ‘n’ Cuddles Interactive Baby Monkey to toy adjacent items such as Hasbro’s limited edition vinyl celebrating 40 years of Transformers and cotton candy-scented temporary tattoos from Savvi — that can help boost sales and beat the big boxes.
