Central Oregon packed with last minute shoppers

BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) --     Across Central Oregon, stores were packed with last minute shoppers. One of the business places in Bend is Leapin Lizards Toy Store downtown.

They’re not just popular for last minute gifts for kids, but also because they offer free gift wrapping in store.

This years toy buy trends are changing. While fidget toys are still very popular, they’re seeing a big movement towards activity based toys like games, and puzzles. Kids want something they can do with friends, or family.

Suzy Reininger, owner of Leapin Lizards told KTVZ News, "We've realized, the more that we rely on tech, the further we get away from building relationships and especially the holidays. All about relationships is lovely.”

One of their best sellers this year has been the game called “Volley Shot”. Kids and adults have been competing to see who can have the longest streak, and break the store’s record.
