What will be this year’s ‘must have’/sell out toy?

Just wondering what people think 2022’s equivalent to the fingerling will be? I just love being the auntie who manages to get the toy that has already sold out by the time the child actually asks for it 😂😂 normally it’s really clear on the ‘must have toys’ lists but haven’t spotted anything this year! So predictions are welcome!!

How long did it take for the Entertainer code to come through? Have registered, done the birthday things for 3 weeks from now and no code. Got a lot sitting in my basket!!

Smyths catalogue was delivered this morning, so will get DC to look through it later in case they want anything that will be super popular.

I’m excited about the Smyths catalogue arriving for my DC. It provided many many hours of entertainment for them last year 😂

They heavily debate the contents and then circle a few bits. I remember doing the same with the Argos catalogues of old!!

So I just ordered an Airup! A couple weeks ago when I heard about them on here I asked my sister if they are all the rage at her child’s school and she said she’d never heard of them, but then the other day she messaged to say everyone has been getting them now! (I felt very ahead of the trend/down with the kids thanks to this thread haha!) I’m really hoping it’s not a use twice and throw out situation! I suppose if they don’t like the flavours they can just use it as a trendy normal water bottle?

Thanks to this thread I’ve just realised what my youngest DD was chuntering on about when he was talking about a water bottle with air capsules . Although I think he thinks it will make the water taste like fruit shoots

I can’t decide whether to get dd4 Gabby’s doll house, Mama Guinea Pigs or Bluey’s lights & sounds house.

I give up on trying to get a code from The Entertainer! They don’t want to send me one. DD’s birthday is 16th December but 3 weeks before that, everything will have sold out.

I really want the Guinea pig 😆 £65 seems so expensive though!! Also for the mixie cauldron!!

Off to register for the birthday club someone mentioned above. Thank you!

You can get mini mixie things for £10.
