“We know the Christmas period is a busy time for families so we’ve done the hard work and come up with the most popular gifts,” he said.
“As a self-confessed toy geek, I’m really excited about this year’s list – we’ve done the research and we know these presents are going to be a hit with Aussie kids.
“With just six weeks left until Christmas, we’re encouraging customers to get their online orders in early to avoid disappointment – these toys won’t stay on our shelves for long!

The top 15 toys for children this Christmas are:
#15 – Rainbocorns – what do girls want more than a unicorn? A Rainbocorn, of course! First on our top 15 countdown is an ideal Christmas stocking stuffer – opening these eggs reveals a colourful, cuddly, soft plush Llamacorn, Pandacorn or Unicorn. Find the rare golden Flamingocorn? There are 10 surprises and a baby boo-boocorn to hatch in each egg – the perfect recipe for a cracking good Christmas!

#13 – Toy Story 4 – play warning! These days, Buzz and Woody figures are not just for children. This animated pair are icons of animation – and meme – alike, making them another great gift for kids of all ages – either young in years, or just young at heart.
#12 – Barbie – you’re never supposed to ask a woman her age – but you’d never believe Barbie was 60 any way! With a completely revitalised doll and accessory range, Barbie is reinvented, reworked and is looking totally rejuvenated on the 60th anniversary of her release.
