What Mimitoys has to offer is "An excellent selection of toys that proves quality is better than quantity." To read the full customer review click here. It's one of the reviews we've received recently and that I thought summarised well why these toys are our Top 12 Toys for Christmas 2023,
I am also glad to present a list of toys for Christmas 2023 that do not fall into the stereotypical play patterns with pink for girls and blue for boys, toys that are not plastic and toys that are non-battery operated.
