Toys“R”Us, one of Japan’s leading dedicated toy and baby products specialty retailer, today announced its 2011 Hot Toy List, which features 20 of the most exciting new toys for Christmas.
Highlighting this year’s most anticipated items in five categories—boys, girls, learning/family, video games, and active play—the list is a valuable guide for parents and other gift-givers as they begin their holiday shopping.
Marking the start of holiday season, the company also issued its annual Christmas Catalogue, which features over 600 items that children will be delighted to discover under the tree on Christmas morning.
The 40-page, full-color catalogue is packed with promotions valid from November 18 through December 11, including great deals on items throughout the catalogue, 2,000 yen in coupons for purchases of 6,000 yen or more, and a quiz for loyalty program members in which members can enter to win a 5,000 yen gift card.
The Christmas Catalogue is now available free of charge at Toys“R”Us, Babies“R”Us and Toys“R”Us Express stores nationwide.
Customers can also consult our very knowledgeable and friendly associates for help selecting the perfect present from our extensive assortment of products for kids and babies.
