Toy trends to watch out for this year
According to new research by eBay, more than half (56%) of Aussie parents are expected to buy their children toys they secretly want to play with, with the fathers being the main culprit. This can most likely be attributed to the increased amount of time families have spent together, and that's all thanks to COVID-19 of course.
The pandemic has also increased the need for toys that offer longevity and affordability. Using shopper data and identifying purchasing habits through research, eBay has discovered three trends for Christmas 2020. These include:
- Gifts that keep on giving
- Toys that encourage diversity and inclusivity
- Basic presents like building toys, board games, puzzles, and arts and crafts
eBay Australia's Sophie Onikul said:
"It's no surprise affordability is a key factor influencing presents under the Christmas tree this year with more than a third (37%) of parents admitting they plan to spend less on gifts due to COVID-19."
"Christmas is an expensive time – parents are predicted to spend an average of $184 on gifts per child. It's been a tough year which is why eBay's helping ease the financial pressure by offering great deals across a range of must-have gifts to suit different budgets. The kids might have to challenge dad to get a look-in though!"
