TORONTO, Oct. 24, 2018 /CNW/ - It's time for the ultimate holiday toys reveal from Canada's true toy experts: Mastermind Toys! In business since 1984, Canada's largest specialty toy and children's books retailer has released their annual (and much anticipated), 2018 Holiday Gift Guide designed to help shoppers find the perfect present for the kids on their list. Available in print and digital formats, the gift guide features a colourful collection of 350+ hand-picked items ranging in price from $2.99 to $269.00 including 30 exclusive products that you just won't find anywhere else.
"Whether you are shopping for the artist, the explorer, the dreamer, or the inventor, the 2018 holiday lineup is absolutely epic!" said Jon Levy, CEO, Co-Founder and Chief Merchant, Mastermind Toys. "From Potterverse play sets and exceptional e-pets, to an electric remote-controlled BMW and a mini dancing robot that teaches kids to code, our toy-buying team have spent the last 12 months carefully collecting, compiling and curating an incredible selection for the holidays."
Customers will also notice a substantial increase in the number of games on the Mastermind Toys shelves this season. "As the games category continues to grow, we have significantly expanded our games selection by 50 percent," said Ryan Carr, Head of Purchasing, Mastermind Toys. "From the classics like Monopoly and Jenga to an interactive gross new game called What's that Smell?, family game night options have never been better."
The digital gift guide can be viewed at www.mastermindtoys.com. The print version drops the first week of November across Canada. All items will be available at Mastermind's 64 locations in eight provinces and online.
