FOLLOWING last night's snap lockdown many people will be wondering where to buy their gifts, especially toys, before Christmas Day.

Under lockdown rules in Wales all non-essential retail is closed along with leisure and hospitality services.

But with many people waiting for their December pay to finish shopping, or to come out of isolation, the shut down of non-essential retail could spell disaster for Christmas plans.

Here's a list of stores where you can purchase toys from today.

Smyths Toys

Located in Maesglas Retail Park, Newport, the retailer says click and collect is available in all stores in London, Wales and the South of England. The store closes at 4pm today, then is open 9am to 9pm daily.
