Wowcher have analysed transactional data from thousands of users to reveal that collectively, LOL surprise dolls are the most popular toys of 2018, after contributing to 10% of toy sales on the deals website. Next in line is a DIY Slime making kit followed by soft toys. It seems however, that the unicorn obsession is coming to an end, as sales declined by a whopping 80% in comparison to 2017.

Alexis Harrison, Head of Marketing at Wowcher says: “We all remember the trend toys of our day, be it a yo-yo or Tamagotchi. And, despite the rise of technology, there’s always a new must-have toy which doesn’t tend to be tech. This year it’s the LOL Surprise toys topping gift lists while slime remains a strong favourite.

“What is surprising, is the huge increase in teddies and personalised gifts, which suggests that there’s a come-back for people looking to gift children more traditional toys, which can be kept for longer.”
