Hail to Santa Claus - The ultimate global logistics worker!

Here at Grandpas Toys we have to rely on more mundane delivery systems to get toys and games out to all our highly valued customers, and this year those systems are under huge pressure.

So how late can I leave my Christmas Shopping?

Here at Grandpas Toys, our advice is to lock in your orders in the next few days, to avoid the anxious wait for the delivery guy!

Even if you’re planning on traditional Christmas shopping and are planning on coming to see us in store here at Grandpa’s Toys,, do it sooner rather than later. The supply chains that usually keep shops stocked during December could fall behind and nobody wants that, or leave it too late and you may find your most wanted item out of stock.
