WITH TDMONTHLY MAGAZINE’S 2008 HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE
Shopper-Friendly Advertising Venue Offers Original Finds and Click-Through Convenience
Los Angeles, Calif. (October 21, 2008) – Parents can forget browsing aisles and braving crowds for the ideal holiday gift. Instead, they can visit TDmonthly Magazine's Holiday Gift Guide to encounter toys that encourage learning and promote creative play for children of all ages. Filled with gifts from more than 150 companies — most of which can’t match the multi-million-dollar television advertising budgets of the biggest toymakers — the guide gives discerning shoppers a chance to discover one-of-a-kind gifts from some of the lesser-known gems of the toy world. Consumers can simply click the "I Want One" links to connect to e-commerce sites that sell these items.
With the variety of offerings in TDmonthly's guide, kids can experience playtime in multiple ways — fashioning animals with fuzzy, colorful pipe cleaners from Brain Noodles, studying self defense or the periodic table while playing cards from Les Entreprises SynHeme, or putting on a show with puppets from Folkmanis.
TDmonthly’s Holiday Gift Guide features products from more than 150 companies and can be accessed here: https://www.toydirectory.com/monthly/hgg/. The toys tend to be new introductions for 2008 and specialty toys not found in mass-merchandise stores. A lucky few have even been honored with a 2008 TDmonthly award, recognized by the experienced and expert staff at TDmonthly Magazine for being especially innovative and high quality.
