Ahead of Christmas, shoppers are expected to spend an average of €400 this Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
The Playstation 5, Pokemon cards and bicycles top the wish list for Christmas this year.
Families are facing a frantic scramble to get their hands on Sony's PS5, which has had supply issues since it's launch back in November 2020.
4 in 10 people are expected to make a purchase on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, with shoppers planning to spend an average of €400.
Brid Kelly of Kelly's Toymaster in Tullamore, says while supply chain issues aren't as bad as they were last year, they're expected to be much worse next year:
