Argos’ top 20 toys for Christmas 2024 revealed – where to buy them the cheapest
ARGOS has revealed its top toys list for Christmas 2024 with fewer than 100 days left until Christmas day.
The list contains a mix of 20 nostalgic, interactive and character themed toys, which range in price from £16 to £89.99.
This year, Argos has seen searches for Furby up 237%, revealing the rising demand for 90’s toys.
The toys featured in the list are designed to encourage kids to get creative and immerse themselves in a world of play.
A Polly Pocket Dolphin Aquarium Compact is on the cheaper end of the scale, with this product only setting buyers back £16.
Whereas the most expensive toy on the list, the LEGO Wicked Emerald City, which launches on October 1, will set you back £89.99.
To make sure you’re getting the best price available on the market, don’t forget to use comparison sites such as Pricespy.co.uk and CamelCamelCamel.
Another helpful site, PriceHistory.co.uk, will be able to let you know if Argos has ever stocked the same toys for less.
Prices can also vary day to day and by what deals are on at the time, plus remember you might pay for delivery if you’re ordering online.
Here’s what Argos is recommending ahead of Christmas day.
