The popular children's toys likely to be in short supply in Ireland ahead of Christmas

Irish shoppers are being warned to get their Christmas shopping finished early this year as supply issues are likely to leave some disappointed.

According to reports, delays have affected most industries, with things like bikes, cars, clothing, food, toys, and even paint in short supply.

Many toy stores across Ireland have Christmas sales coming up over the coming weeks when it’s likely stocks will be ravaged.

Smyths Toys Superstore issued a warning to parents last week due to the global issues concerning the availability of shipping containers.

The toy shop released a statement advising parents and guardians to start their Christmas shop early this year to avoid disappointment.

In a statement, the company said: "It is always a good idea to avoid disappointment and shop early.

“While some toys may be in short supply, we will be in good stocks from now till the end of Christmas on the majority of toys.”

There are a number of popular choices that are likely to be snapped up quickly, and with no short-term resolution for stock issues right now, you’re best to grab them as soon as you can.
