I-Toy Retailers Association ikhetha 'imveliso ekufuneka ubenayo' enokubakho kwimarike yase-UK kuhlahlo lwabiwo-mali olungqongqo
Iguinea pig esebenzisanayo eyazalayo kunye nendlulamthi yedisco “evuthulula iimpundu” kulindeleke ukuba ibe phakathi kwezinto zokudlala ezithengiswa kakhulu ngale Krismesi njengoko abathengisi bezabalaza ukwenza intambo yokudlala ibe “kuluphi na uhlahlo lwabiwo-mali.”
Ngobunzima obuzayo beendleko zokuphila, uluhlu lwe-Toy Retailers Association's (TRA) DreamToys lubandakanya ukhetho lweethoyi ezingabizi kakhulu kulo nyaka, ezisibhozo kwezilishumi elinesibini iithoyi eziphezulu ezingaphantsi kwe-35 yeedola. Eyona nto inexabiso eliphantsi kuluhlu yi-£8 Squishmallow, into yokudlala ethandeka ekulindeleke ukuba ibe sisitokhwe esithandwayo.
Malunga ne-£1bn iya kuchithwa kwizinto zokudlala phambi kweKrisimesi. Usihlalo wekomiti yokukhetha iDreamToys uPaul Reeder uthe le komiti iyithathele ingqalelo imeko yoqoqosho enzima. Siyazi ukuba abantu abaninzi basebenzisa uluhlu lwe-DreamToys njengesikhokelo kwizigqibo zabo zokuthenga, kwaye sicinga ukuba sikhethe ezona zinto zokudlala zifanelekileyo ukuze zihambelane nohlahlo lwabiwo-mali olwahlukeneyo nokugcina abantwana bonwabile ngale Krisimesi.
Eyona ibiza kakhulu iMama Surprise Guinea pig yi-£65. Inkathalo yakhanyisa intliziyo yakhe, nto leyo eyayibonisa ukuba usana lwalusendleleni. Iinjana zafika emva kweengcango zasekhitshini ezivaliweyo (ngombulelo zawa eluphahleni) kwaye zafika ngendlela “eqhelekileyo” kwiintsuku ezimbini. Ukufumana ingqalelo emfutshane kwimowudi ekhawulezayo, ziseta kwakhona yonke imizuzu eyi-10.
Uluhlu lubandakanya amagama angaphelelwa lixesha afana neLego, uBarbie kunye nePokémon, kunye neengoma ezintsha ezifana neRainbow High, ibrand yoonodoli ekhula ngokukhawuleza. Oonodoli beRainbow High banothotho lwabo kwiYouTube, kwaye abalinganiswa abathandathu bokugqibela babandakanya oonodoli ababini abanomahluko obonakalayo-vitiligo kunye nealbinism.
I-GiGi, indlulamthi edanisayo yee-£28, nayo kulindeleke ukuba ibe kuluhlu oluninzi lweKrisimesi njengoko ikhuphisana noBeyoncé. Iinwele zakhe ezityheli ezityheli zongeza ivolumu kumdlalo weemvakalelo, kodwa into entsha yokuseta iingoma zakhe ezintathu inokudinwa ngokukhawuleza abantu abadala kwigumbi.
Ngelixa abathengisi bezinto zokudlala ngo-2021 besilwa nemiba enxulumene nobhubhane ebangele ukuba ukuthunyelwa kulibaziseke phambi kwamaxesha abalulekileyo okuthengisa, uxinzelelo kulo nyaka luvela kwiindleko eziphezulu zokungena ezibangela ukuba amaxabiso anyuke, kunye nokutya, amandla kunye nokunyuka kweendleko zezindlu. ziye zanciphisa inkcitho yabathengi. .
Abafundi bathi ukunqongophala kweetshiphusi zekhompyutha kwihlabathi jikelele kuthetha ukuba azikho izinto zokudlala “zobuchwephesha” kulo nyaka. Kodwa ngaphandle kokuncitshiswa okunokwenzeka kwezinye iindawo, ukuthengiswa kwezinto zokudlala kunyuke nge-9%, nangona elo nani likwabonise amaxabiso aphezulu.
Abafundi baqikelela ukuba abathengi baya kuba savvy kwaye bajonge izivumelwano ezifana nezaphulelo zangoLwesihlanu omnyama kwiiveki ezizayo. Baza kuzama nokwandisa uhlahlo lwabiwo-mali lwabo ngokuthenga izinto ezincinci.
“Ukhetho lwamathoyizi lukhulu kwaye kusoloko kukho into kwibhajethi nganye,” utshilo. “Ndicinga ukuba abantu baya kuthenga izinto ezincinci kunesipho esikhulu. Ukuba uthetha ngabantwana abangaphantsi kwe-10, kukho iindlela ezininzi zokukhetha. Abantwana abangaphezulu kwale minyaka badla ngokufuna itekhnoloji eyongezelelekileyo, nto leyo ethetha ukuba xa iphezulu intlawulo yokukhwela kokukhona baya kuba nayo ingcinezelo yoontanga.”
I-TRA yenza i-12 ephezulu kunye noluhlu olude njengesikhokelo kubathengi. Kunyaka ophelileyo, ixabiso eliqhelekileyo kuluhlu lwakhe olude laliyi-£ 35, kodwa kulo nyaka liye lahla kwi-£ 28. Ixabiso eliqhelekileyo lento yokudlala emarikeni yi-£13.
