Knowledgeable Insights from Toy Specialists – Each year, there is often much attention paid to one specific “hot” toy, however parents and gift-givers should know that no one toy is appropriate for every child. Whether shopping for a five-year-old girl or an eight-year-old boy, Toys“R”Us employees can help select playthings best suited for a particular child based on their age and interests. And, with thousands of unique toys and games available exclusively at Toys“R”Us stores, shoppers can choose from a broad assortment of distinctive products that can’t be found anywhere else.

Layaway and Rewards Opportunities for Savvy Savers – Beyond offering a strong cadence of incredible values, Toys“R”Us makes holiday shopping convenient and affordable with programs like the company’s layaway program, Christmas Savers Club and Rewards“R”Us. Those who want to reserve a special present early in the season, such as a gym set or video game console, can place items on layaway and make small payments over time.* And to keep these gifts away from eager young eyes, Toys“R”Us will store items placed on layaway until late in the season. Savvy shoppers can also sign up for the Christmas Savers Club to set aside money through Saturday, October 16 with the benefit of a three percent bonus added to their total savings, which can be used for holiday shopping starting Sunday, October 31.** Customers who choose to enroll in the Rewards“R”Us program at any Toys“R”Us store or online at Rewardsrus.Toysrus.com can also take advantage of exclusive shopping nights and savings, as well as e-mail discount offers, giving them even more reason to shop at Toys“R”Us stores.

Daily Shipments of the Toys that will WOW Kids on Christmas – Determining which gift will elicit an ear-to-ear grin on kids’ faces Christmas morning is the first important step for parents.
