Happy Bloomin' Friday!

Next week, we’ll be pausing publication of The Bloom Report because all the action (and news!) will be happening at POP Week — and, truth be told, I’ll be a little short on time! I can’t wait to see so many of you next week!
 
Have you checked out the new wish list feature in the Holiday Gift Guide? It's part of our first-ever consumer Wishlist Weekend™, debuting at the Chicago Toy & Game Fair! The Guide highlights all the TOTY finalists — the Ultimate Wishlist — along with toys and games from CHITAG exhibitors. 
 
The Holiday Gift Guide’s QR code will be featured throughout the Fair and promoted coast to coast (and even overseas!). After the holidays, it transitions into the Spring & Summer Gift Guide — giving CHITAG exhibitors and TOTY finalists fantastic extended exposure through fall 2026, when we unveil the next Holiday Gift Guide!

Mary and the POP Team

"I’ve been reading the Bloom Report faithfully since the Phillip days and can’t be more impressed that Mary has carried on the tradition. It is the highlight of my Fridays.
