The holidays are right around the corner, and to get you in the spirit, we have some toy-tastic news. We’re once again partnering with iconic toy brand FAO Schwarz to bring you the most joyful toy shopping experience yet. Beginning mid-October, FAO Schwarz toys will only be available at Target stores, Target.com and FAO Schwarz store locations — making Target a one-stop toy shop that’ll have kids of all ages smiling from ear to ear.
Plus, our fun-loving pup Bullseye is here with the 50 Top Toys of 2022, presented by FAO Schwarz and featuring more exclusives and lots of affordable gift options. Our 10th annual Top Toys list is brimming with brands like Disney, LOL Surprise!, Mattel, FAO Schwarz, inclusive doll brand HarperIman and more, with popular characters ranging from PAW Patrol to Marvel’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
“One of the reasons families love shopping at Target is because of our incredible assortment of toys, and that selection is only getting better with our new exclusive agreement with the beloved FAO Schwarz brand,” says Jill Sando, executive vice president and chief merchandising officer, Target. “From hot new items to time-tested favorites, we’ve curated our annual list of Bullseye’s Top Toys to create an easy, fun and affordable way for guests to find just the right gift for every toy lover on their list. Simply put, there’s only one place parents and gift givers need to shop for toys this holiday season — and that’s Target.”

Say hello to FAO Schwarz at Target
Last year, Target’s 70-item limited-time-only collection with FAO Schwarz was a huge hit with guests … so this year we’re upping the inspiration (and nostalgia) with an exclusive assortment of more than 120 toys across all toy categories, including plush toys, STEM sets and active play toys like the Ride On Train. Prices start at only $9.99, with 50 toys under $20.
To celebrate FAO Schwarz’s 160th anniversary, we’ll also feature a capsule collection of classic FAO toys (all under $25), including a Hot Wheels Collector Set and UNO card game. Plus you’ll be able to enjoy even more FAO Schwarz toys with new, exclusive product drops throughout the holiday season.
“We are incredibly thrilled to partner exclusively with Target after having forged such a successful relationship together over the past couple of years. There truly is no better way to kick off our 160th anniversary than to announce this partnership,” says David Niggli, chief merchandising officer, FAO Schwarz. “FAO Schwarz has been celebrating the wonder of childhood and bringing awe and discovery to all children — and the child inside all of us — for 160 years, and now families everywhere across the U.S. can enjoy this experience at their local Target store.”
In addition to a fun and easy-to-shop FAO Schwarz x Target online experience, every Target toy department will delight with a dedicated FAO Schwarz section and toy demonstrations throughout the holiday season at select stores.
