Lifestyle Products
For many customers, lifestyle products are a form of self-expression, often drawing on current trends. Particularly for the toy trade, licensing themes play an important role in this segment. Films, series, and video games such as Star Wars, Paw Patrol and Fortnite lend themselves as themes for original and everyday products, including decorative items, collectibles, and accessories.
Dolls, Soft Toys
Dolls are among the oldest toys in the world. Even though these little playmates have a long history, their popularity has never waned. Soft toys, likewise, fall within this category along with accessories and clothing for dolls. Licensed products also feature strongly here.
Baby and Infant Articles
Parents want only the very best for their babies. This is where the retail trade comes in, helping young families find the most suitable products for their little ones. Prams, nursery products, baby’s fashion and toys for early childhood development are just some of the items that reflect the diverse needs and play instincts of infants.
Wooden Toys, Toys made from Natural Materials
Sustainability, durability, and educational value are attributes widely associated with wooden toys and toys made from natural materials. Sustainable products are in higher demand than ever. Combining materials in different ways provides fertile ground for creative innovations made from renewable resources such as wood and other natural products.
School Articles, Stationery, Creative Design
