Buy British Day: Why Choose Bigjigs Toys
Every October, Buy British Day shines a spotlight on the creativity and quality of UK businesses. For families, it’s the perfect chance to discover why shopping local matters – especially when it comes to toys. At Bigjigs Toys, we’re proud to be a British toy company that designs and develops toys children love, from baby toys to timeless wooden toy train sets.
By choosing to buy British, you’re not only investing in high-quality products but also supporting local design, community values, and sustainable practices. Let’s explore what Buy British Day is all about, and why Bigjigs is the perfect choice for families who want toys with a difference.
What is Buy British Day?
Buy British Day is an annual event encouraging people to support homegrown brands and businesses. For toy buyers, it means choosing British toy manufacturers who put thought, care, and craftsmanship into every design. It’s a reminder that behind every toy is a story of heritage, creativity, and community.
What does "buy British" mean?
“Buy British” means making a conscious decision to purchase from UK-based businesses. While not every component of every product may be made in Britain, choosing a British toy company like Bigjigs ensures you’re supporting local design, jobs, and values – all while giving children toys that last.
Why Choose Bigjigs Toys?
At Bigjigs, we are proud to design and distribute a wide range of toys from our HQ in Kent. While our supply chain is global to ensure affordability and quality, our heart is firmly rooted in British values.
As a family-run British toy manufacturer, Bigjigs has been inspiring play since 1985. Our toys are loved by parents and children alike for being safe, educational, and built to last. Whether it’s a child’s educational toy to boost learning, or a keepsake wooden baby toy, every piece is designed with little hands (and big imaginations) in mind.
Buy British, Buy Bigjigs
This Buy British Day, we invite you to celebrate with us by choosing toys that are designed with love, care, and creativity right here in the UK. By supporting Bigjigs Toys, you’re investing in a British toy company that puts children’s play and learning at the heart of everything we do.
