SEATTLE, Oct. 8, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- To kick off the
holiday season, today online retailer Zulily announced its first
ever Top Toy List for 2020. A collection curated for kids of all
ages, the list will help parents get inspired for filling out their
gift lists this year – and it's more important than ever! According
to a new survey from Zulily and OnePoll, 7 in 10 moms feel pressure
to make this holiday season great for their child due to the
pandemic.
The inaugural list features the top 29 toys for families
who want kids to…
- Connect: The family that plays together, stays together.
Eighty-six percent of moms say it's important to them that families
play together. With puzzles, easy crafts for kids, rock painting
kits, books and STEAM playsets, the whole family can bond, build
empathy and learn.
- Move: With 63 percent of moms concerned their kids won't
get enough physical activity this winter, it's time to bring on the
energy burners! Get jumping and moving with these great finds that
can work both indoors and out.
- Imagine: Sixty-eight percent of respondents feel toys
with screens have reduced how often children play using their
imagination. By choosing toys that encourage free-form play, spark
your little one's creativity!
"Zulily is moms' best kept secret for playtime essentials at
great value; after all, since our first sale in 2010, we've sold
tens of millions of toys – think about all of those memories made
since then!" said Lindsay Reynolds,
Zulily's resident toy expert. "The holidays are all about
connecting as a family – and, in light of the pandemic's impacts on
children and playtime, parents are searching for toys this year
that get the family moving, imagining and bonding across
generations. At Zulily we truly believe you can create special
moments without spending a lot – that's why I'm so excited to
unveil our first-ever Top Toy List, all available in Santa's
Workshop, our dedicated shopping destination for all things
holiday. And since our assortment changes every single day, moms
can find inspiration and deals on toys, décor, and gifts throughout
the holiday season!"
Zulily's top toys will be just one part of the online retailer's
thousands of new products launched every day, all up to 70 percent
off. But once a deal is gone, it's gone – so shoppers must tune in
to see when their fun favorites are available again. For parents
hoping to fill up a stocking with a specific brand, they can go to
that brand's page on Zulily.com and simply "heart" it to get
notified when it will be back! Some of the top toys for the season
include:
- Barbie Dream Closet & Doll by Barbie - The Barbie
Dream Closet inspires kids to create endless looks and stories to
go with them! The closet playset comes with five complete outfits,
including accessories, for any occasion: two trendy day outfits, an
evening look, a pediatrician outfit and a sporty scuba suit with
mask and fins to invite kids to dream, pretend and play dress up.
Suitable for ages 3 to 7 years.
- Hot Wheels Sky Crash Tower by Hot Wheels - Brand new
from one of the top brands every holiday season, the new Hot Wheels
Sky Crash Tower allows kids to boost their vehicles up and up to
the sky for a super-cool jump and the most epic mid-air crashes
ever! With multiple track loops and a motorized booster, this tower
offers hours of entertainment while promoting imagination and
hands-on play. Suitable for ages 5 - 10.
- LEGO® Harry Potter™ Set - Hogwarts™ Astronomy Tower
by The LEGO Group - For Harry Potter fans both big and
small, this thrill-packed build and play set encourages kids to
build and create, unlocking all their magical potential in the
tallest tower at Hogwarts. Suitable for kids 9+.
- The Child 11" Plush by Mattel - Inspired by the
Lucasfilm live-action series "The Mandalorian," this sweet Star
Wars plush toy gives kids a way to snuggle up with their favorite
character - reminding them that the Force is always with them.

As a family focused retailer, Zulily has insights about how
parents are feeling about the holidays. Though different, joy is
absolutely on the agenda this season:
Families will be navigating a new kind of holiday season this
year. Eighty-four percent of moms say there will be a new
normal this year and are taking the opportunity to build new
traditions inspired by 2020's trends, such as making their own
holiday decorations (51 percent), creating a weekly calendar of fun
family activities (37 percent) and writing thank you cards to
essential workers (36 percent). But the classics will still be
important, families will be just doing more of them: 70 percent
will still plan deck the halls with more lights and décor, and 64
percent will bake more holiday cookies. Seventy-two percent of moms
are reporting they plan on spending up to $300 on holiday gifts for their children this
year.
Moms feel underappreciated but can't wait for that present
"payoff." With all the baking, planning and decorating moms do
for their families, 63 percent report they wished their families
appreciated them more for all the work that they do. But the
majority of moms (76 percent) find the most rewarding part of
giving gifts is when their kids laugh and smile – so worth it!
However, there's more joy on the horizon as they think of the year
ahead: 7 in 10 moms also say that when they think of 2021, they
feel hopeful!
