Gift Giving 2014: Mattel Holiday Toys

November 29, 2014 By Lena

The gift giving season is upon us! And chances are, you have a very special boy or girl (or many boys and girls!) on your holiday shopping list. So let’s do this.

Quickly now! Do you have a child? Children? If you answered “yes”, the rest of this post will simply be a refresher course in holiday gifting.

However, if…

a) you’re an aunty, uncle, godparent, friend
b) you don’t have children yourself
c) are wondering how the heck to shop for children this Christmas…

Read on, friends, read on.

I’ll be blunt: there are two types of child-free gift givers. Those who get it: folks that ask parents for gifting advice, look for suitably aged toys and clothing, and remember the correct spelling of the child’s name on the gift tag. (Or, give cash. With 00’s.)

And those that don’t.

For those gift givers that sorely need a little push in the right direction – or busy moms who are looking to make holiday shopping simple – I present to you: Mattel Holiday Toys.

No matter what their age or interests, you’ll find Mattel toys on every child’s wish list. Put imagination and endless possibilities under the tree this holiday season with the hottest toys from Mattel! You’ll even be presented with a list of stores where the toy is available for purchase, making your shopping experience a piece of cake. (I told you I’d make it simple for you! You’re welcome.)

My picks? Well, you’ll just have to check out my recent segment on Global News at Noon in Toronto!

Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Smart Stages Chair: Smart Stages technology is an exciting new way to change learning content as babies grow. This chair features 50+ songs, tunes and phrases and lets you select the stage that’s best for your child’s development.

Thomas & Friends TrackMaster Avalanche Escape Set: Thomas must navigate a risky mountaintop track in this playset standing one foot tall and over 5 feet long. Includes Thomas engine.

2014 Holiday Barbie Doll: This year Holiday Barbie sparks up the festivities in a gorgeous red gown with epic gold accents to celebrate the most glam season yet.

Monster High Freaky Fusion Hybrid Dolls: The new class of monsters at Monster High are hybrids – two monsters in one! Completely different, completely creepy cool creatures!

Monster High Freaky Fusion Catacombs Playset: This ultimate play space contains monster-ific secret surprises and can display over 15 dolls on 3 of its clawesome levels.

This Christmas, do your part to get the hottest toys under the tree! Spread the word about Mattel Holiday Toys while your breeze through your own holiday shopping list with confidence and ease.

    When my son was small he would tear the paper off the present then spend hours playing with boxes that I had in the apartment, had not finished unpacking yet! Mattel toys were strong and durable.
