The London toy shop, which was founded in 1760,
unveiled its "12 toys of Christmas" list on Wednesday, which
includes the pointy-eared and noise-making "Crate Creatures",
the "Boxer Robot" which is described as "needy and fallible" as
well as a cheater's version of the popular board game Monopoly.
"We have cute and cuddly toys but there's definitely this whole
world of 'sometimes life isn't quite so perfect' and actually
it's quite nice to see some of these toys that are slightly
different," Victoria Kay, head buyer at Hamleys, told Reuters.
Dolls, cuddly toys including a Paddington Bear and a Lego
Hogwarts Express train from the "Harry Potter" book and film
series are also on the list.
With three months until Christmas, London's retailers are
already preparing for the important holiday shopping season.
Department store Selfridges launched its Christmas shop in
August.
