HOW TO DE-STRESS THE HOLIDAY SEASON

Do you have children? Are you starting to think about what to get them for the holidays? How can you be sure what you get is safe?

 With last year’s toy recalls, how can you be sure what you’re getting will be okay for your child?

It seems that every year we go through shopping stress. Getting the kids ready to back to school, finding Halloween costumes, preparing for Thanksgiving dinner,

and then running around shopping for the Holiday Season. What’s hot, what’s affordable, who has it in stock? We run all over town, sometimes to different towns

and malls trying to find “the right” gifts. Wouldn’t it be easier to find what you’re looking for in one simple location?

Each year, the Toy Industry Association, Inc. holds 2 fairs, or shows, one in the spring, one in the fall (considered the fall preview show). At these shows,

merchants can show off their wares, buyers can look to see what they hope will be popular, the next “big” selling item, and investors can get a look

at what’s up-and-coming. Also at these shows is a chance for all of the manufacturers to get together and discuss the latest news from the safety commission’s

legislation is all about concerning recalls, safety issues, everything needed to keep kids safe while enjoying their new toys.

The shows contain everything from what’s new in the model trains section, to the latest in board games, and educational toys. From here companies can bring

products back and start getting them ready for the shopping season.

 Wouldn’t it be nice to spend the Holiday Season relaxed?  

There are some great ideas available.
