With the new government restrictions, Smyths Toys are still trading, with social distance markers outside each store.

Let's face it - we're all going to have to shop early this year. After years of promising ourselves we will do it, now is the best time to get all of that Christmas shopping out of the way once and for all.

And after the Irish Government has implemented a six-week lockdown across the nation, Smyths Toys have assured early shoppers that their stores will be open for all of your toy needs.

While you won't be able to physically walk around and browse in store, shoppers will be able to avail of their handy click & collect online service.

Shoppers can pick their order up at the front of the store, after reserving it online. Just be mindful to use their social distance markers outside each store.

The toy shop has also assured early Christmas buyers that they have good levels of stock in each store, with more arriving every week.

As well as this, should you wish to stay at home completely, delivery is also still available. Head over to the Smyths Toys website for all the information regarding home delivery.
