We are delighted to announce the results of the 14th annual Independent Toy Awards featuring a proudly eclectic group of winners... from household name giants to fledgling start-ups.
2021 Gold Medal Winners (See the winners >>)
To be a gold medal winner in the Independent Toy Awards, you need to not only have a first-class product but be well respected and trusted within the independent toy trade.
2021 Silver Medal Winners (See the winners >>)
A large number of products that won silver were so close to a gold medal that a vote or two either way would have tipped the balance. As well as household name companies, you'll notice a generous smattering of lesser known companies too, which just goes to show how our awards aren't about marketing muscle... they're about having a great product.
2021 Bronze Medal Winners (See the winners >>)
The quality of the products submitted by the following bronze medalists only goes to show how closely fought our awards were this year.
A background to the awards
Now in our 14th year, the Independent Toy Awards enjoy unrivalled respect within the industry, thanks to being voted for - not by "experts", "testers" or "panels" - but by those at the sharpest end of the industry... the nation's independent toy retailers.
We are uniquely positioned to host such awards due to our ever-growing network of over 900 independent toy retailers that list themselves on this website for free.
For a small company, these awards mean the world. It makes all of the hard work and effort put in by my team worthwhile. Thank you.
Winning the gold award in the role play category for the Nursing Set is a proud moment for our team. The design promotes creative and imaginative play, with a versatile design. Featuring gorgeous finished wood with natural cotton fabric not only gives the set a gender neutral feel, it also means the nursing set perfectly complements a range of doll pram and cot sets.
Here at Jaques, we are all delighted to see some of our favourite toys recognised for their educational and entertainment value. We are proud to share this success with our team of dedicated personnel and teachers, who have helped to shape and develop a range of toys that promote the incredible power of play.
