[quote=Anonymous]I just read an article in The NY Times about smaller retailers preparing to file for bankruptcy because they’re cancelling shipments ordered for next Christmas due to the cost of tariffs exceeding the value of products they planned to sell. The examples were a home decor company that sells tons of fake trees and decorations and a Manhattan toy and children’s store. The children’s store example discussed scooters (I assume razor scooters, since that’s what most kids in the city have) and the fact that the manufacturer already cut the size of the store’s Christmas order.

Are you buying anything ahead in anticipation of kids’ upcoming birthdays or Christmas? I’m trying to be cautious but also have terrible memories of celebrating my kid’s birthday during the strict COVID lockdowns and having to improvise everything. It was fine once but it won’t be heartwarming a second time. My kid is 10 now so I feel like this is one of the last years of her being willing to ask for toys, even though I know she’ll play with them for years to come.[/quote]
