Gift Focus - Jan/Feb 2019 (Issue 111)

126 giftfocus BRAINSTORM LTD Stand: 5L71 W: brainstormltd.co.uk Brainstorm has a strong gift focus in 2019, with arts and crafts range EUGY taking centre stage. Distributed exclusively in the UK by Brainstorm, EUGY is the perfect complement to toy offerings in gift outlets. Created in New Zealand by Dodoland, EUGY is an eco- friendly craft collectable that allows children to create 3D models using environmentally friendly, biodegradable card printed with natural eco-friendly inks. The simple numerical sequence assembly makes the intricate creations easy for children and adults to put together. The range includes cute animals and creatures, including dinosaurs, pandas, elephants and more. StikBot, the stop-frame animation social-sharing children’s gift, is the ultimate collectable. It offers imaginative STEM play and is a great pocket-money purchase. New to the range are the StikBot Monsters, highly anticipated additions to the range that allows retailers to capitalise on the collectability of the brand. StikBot Monster Capsules will delight fans as they try to collect all six monsters. Each capsule includes a collector’s sheet, and one in every 16 features a rare Monster. In time for the arrival of spring, there are new additions to the Outdoor Adventure collection. The Outdoor Adventure Camping Projector is a three-in-one light that can be used when camping or in bedrooms. The versatile product allows children to project images inspired by nature or a starlight show and includes a nightlight mode with campfire effect – the perfect accompaniment to family camping trips. The two-in-one Globe Earth and Constellations is more than an average globe. Designed to inspire budding astronomers and explorers, the 22.8cm daylight globe clearly shows political boundaries, natural features such as lakes and rivers, capitals and major cities. At night, the illuminated night globe shows key stars and constellations with their Latin and common names. The globe features an advanced light sensor that automatically turns on the LED illumination whenever the ambient light in the room reaches a trigger level of darkness.
