The UK's most wanted toys this Christmas

Christmas

Every year, children in the UK have the opportunity to write directly to Father Christmas with their festive wishes. In the name of research, the Royal Mail takes a sneaky peek inside these letters to see what the most sought after gifts are. In 2016, Lego is in the top spot, still managing to stay relevant in a list that also includes mobile phones, Nerf guns and light sabres. With Christmas spending in the UK expected to surpass that of many other European countries, there may well be a lot of happy children, and a lot of lego, come the 25th of December!
