Almost half of this year’s top gifts feature licensed brands.
Sixteen of the items are licensed brands from companies including Disney, Nintendo, Nickelodeon and more.
“It’s serious business creating a list of must-haves that helps parents and gift-givers stay ahead of their kids’ requests,” says Richard Barry, executive vice president, global chief merchandising officer, TRU. “Our mission is to ensure parents feel confident in their toy buying decisions–whether they choose to check off their kids’ wish lists now or right before Christmas.”
