The Cats Vs Pickles video game has also stepped off-screen and into toy form with plush characters from the game set to be a hit among youngsters this Christmas.

Meanwhile Jiggly Pets, an animatronic rubber animal, are predicted to be a hit by Gary.

But there are a few old favourites that are likely to crop up according to Gary.

He told The Mirror: “Some ranges are always massively popular.

“Barbie has had a big year so far, so has Paw Patrol. And with a Paw Patrol movie on the way, there’s always the potential for an extra boost in demand.”

But while Christmas may still seem months away, Gary says you should begin your shop now to avoid disappointment.

The toy industry has been hit by shipping delays in the wake of Brexit, meaning that there could be a shortage of Christmas gifts this December.

Gary tells The Mirror: “Already we cannot get the full quantity of containers we need to move our stock compared to last year.

“And we’re still in the summer. Every delay from this point runs the risk of stock not being ­delivered before Christmas.”

So better hit the shops now if you want to avoid a Christmas Day tantrum.
