Bigjigs Toys are delighted to announce that we have been awarded the UK & Ireland exclusive distribution rights for Ambi Toys.
For 40 years Ambi Toys have been developing a range of infant toys with the emphasis on essential design and basic colours, based on an accurate study of children's development, and on an obsession for quality and safety.

Babies and Toddlers are not interested in passing fashions, in trendy colours or in technical novelties; they need solid and reliable products, which do not disappoint them during play and that have the capacity to follow them in the gradual discovery of themselves, others and the surrounding world.

The toys from Ambi satisfy these needs and are also a continuing source of fun and cheerful surprise. Exactly what a good toy is meant to be!
Stock will be available week commencing 29th November 2010 so pre order your Ambi Toys now and your order will be dispatched as soon as the stock arrives!

Toymaster Show

It's that time of year again when the toy industry heads up north ( or south depending where you from ) for the annual Toymaster Show in Harrogate. Most will have now heard about the tragic fire at The Majestic Hotel a couple of weeks ago. This has meant the show has been moved to the Harrogate International Centre.

Having had such a short time to re arrange the venue the team at Toymaster have done a fantastic job :-)

Toymaster members and independents alike are welcome to the 3 days show that starts tomorrow.

Classic World Range

At Toy Fair and Gift Fair earlier in the year Bigjigs Toys showcased the Classic World range. Due to arrive in the next couple of weeks the range provides some great new additions to the offering from Bigjigs Toys Ltd.

Made in an ICTI registered factory in China the range is made to a very good standard using some great colours and lovely European style designs.

The range includes the fantastic wooden carpenters set that is set to be a best seller this year. Containing a wide range of lovely wooden tools, nuts and bolts, the set can be used alongside the Powertools Workbench and Tool Belt already available in the Bigjigs range.

For the girls there is the fantastic fairy bar. The magnetic side and handle allow girls to carry round the playset with them wherever they go with all of the pieces inside. Taking the side off allows the grassy to be put out the front of the bar so that the table, chairs and flexible dolls can be set up ready for a drink with friends.

Joy Toys of Malvern

Following the retirement of Ted and Geraldine at Joy Toys Bigjigs Toys are delighted to announce they have acquired the business of Joy Toys of Malvern. Joy Toys started production of Dolls Houses, Farms, Garages and Castles in Malvern in 1969. The core business has changed very little in the intervening years - designs have come and gone, colours have mellowed and production was moved to the Far East in 2006 but quality and innovation have continued.. Ted and Geraldine at Joy Toys were keen to keep larger style, quality toys available to the independent sector of the market. Bigjigs Toys are enthusiastic about adding the Joy Toys range of products to their extensive collection and look forward to showing the range at the Autumn Gift Fair between 6-9th September in Hall 5 Stand B49. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact the office on 01303 250400 or by e-mail at sales@bigjigs.co.uk

For more information on the range please visit www.heritage-playsets.com


The team at Bigjigs wish Ted and Geraldine a long and happy retirement.
