This year, between shortages and price increases, it will be difficult to find your children’s toys and not pay more for them. Consumer associations have done the calculations and to pay less, you have to do it now.

When should you go to the shelves to buy your children’s Christmas gifts? Customers of a large toy store think that it is necessary to anticipate. “I prefer to do it now to have the choice, because after some items are no longer on the shelves”, says a woman. This year, more than ever, it’s better to plan ahead. Shortages on certain products are possible with tensions on raw materials and transport.

Beyond the question of stocks, there is the question of price. In one store, toys increased by 3.6% in one year. And especially on the internet, the closer the holidays come, the more the prices increase. According to a study by Idealo, a price comparison site, construction bricks cost 91 euros at the end of October against 104 euros in December and for a console, the difference varies from 254 to 326 euros. Immersing yourself in the magic of Christmas now will save you a lot of money.
