We’re in a heatwave, during a pandemic, and we can’t bring ourselves to think about Christmas yet. And yet, here we are.
With just over four months to go until the big day, Argos has announced its highly anticipated top toy predictions for 2020.
According to research conducted by the toy retailer, the time we’ve been spent at home has generated a strong sense of nostalgia.
