Shop Local: Giddy Gifts, Tantalising Toys, and a Selection of Stocking Fillers
Here, at Giddy Goat, we’re all looking forward to a fun festive season and even if we need to tighten our belts a bit this year, Christmas is definitely not cancelled! We know people will want to treat their kids and make sure they have a fantastic time.
Our customers this year will be particularly interested in value for money. They want toys that their kids will play with again and again, and with this in mind we’ve put together some of our top tips for toys to buy this Christmas.
If customers want to spread the cost of their seasonal shopping across three or four interest free instalments, we also offer the facility to buy from our online shop using Clearpay, Klarna or Laybuy.

Fab gift ideas
There’s something special about shopping in a local independent store. Sometimes smaller is better, not such a huge amount of toys to looks through that you’re not sure what you want in the end.
Some great gift ideas here. I love to shop for my nieces and nephews in our local toy store.
