Peterborough’s top 10 toys for Christmas revealed

The people of Peterborough were invited to vote for the toy they’d most like to find in their stocking on Christmas morning, out of a list of 18 which were predicted to be this year’s hottest buys.

The toys ranged from board games through to high-tech scooters, all of which would make brilliant gifts under the Christmas tree, hand crafted by the elves and hand delivered by Santa in the early hours of 25 December.

The winner of the Toy Testing vote was revealed to be local resident, Jodi Loasby, taking home the grand prize of every single toy listed in the vote, worth more than £500 in total.

The 10 toys that came out top, as voted for by those living in and around Peterborough, are as follows:

1: LEGO Ninjago Legacy Jays Storm Fighter (John Lewis & Partners) £32

2: Monopoly Mega Edition Exclusive (John Lewis & Partners) £25.99
