Why should we be afraid of stockouts?

Is Santa Claus on strike?

Several products have disappeared from the supermarket shelves, and it is difficult to know when they will return.

These stock shortages affect the toy sector every year and threaten to spoil the Christmas holidays.

One of the reasons is the geopolitical context, which affects supplies to France and which creates this situation of lack.

Another reason, more joyful, is that it is in December that all families massively buy gifts for their children, which means that stocks can run out in the space of a few days.

Running out of stock is already complicated, so running out of gifts is worse than anything!

Why choose wooden toys?

The first argument is, of course, that wooden toys are more environmentally friendly.

Designed to last, they are solid and do not need batteries or batteries to work: you buy it once, it lasts a lifetime!

Enough to create memories for generations of children.

In addition, wood is not an irritant or a health hazard.

On the contrary, it has been proven that handling wood or any other natural material is important for the good development of the child.

Obviously the new electronic toys have many advantages, and will please your children just as much, but wooden toys are often more aesthetic, solid, and will be your children's main playful companions.

For Christmas,
