Toy shopping tips

It can be daunting (not to mention time-consuming) to scour through every shelf in a store looking for the specific toy that your child wants.

What you can do instead is to check out the websites above to check if they carry that brand or the particular toy and if they have it in stock.

You can then try calling the toy shop and ask the manager if they can reserve it for you. Or better yet, purchase it online. Have them throw a free gift-wrapping service while they're at it.

Another pro tip: if you have a lot of items on your shopping list, it's best to leave your child at home while you shop. The toy stores can get quite busy (especially during the holiday season) and you would not want to be running after your child from one section to the next.

If you are taking your child with you to the toy store, the best time to go would be on weekday mornings so that there's not a lot of foot traffic yet.

Don't forget to remind your child about any toy-buying agreement that you have to avoid meltdowns at the counter.

With this list of toy shops in Singapore, we hope that it will be easier for you to find the toy that's on your child's wishlist this year.
