# ToyNoble

> ToyNoble (https://toynoble.com) is an independent toy buying guide for US shoppers. We publish toy reviews, gift guides by age and budget, brand comparisons, and deals listed on the brand’s or retailer’s official website. ToyNoble sells nothing. Product links go to retailers; ToyNoble is applying to affiliate programs and will disclose any link that earns a commission.

Based in New Jersey, USA. Written in US English. Prices are in US dollars.

## What ToyNoble covers

- Toy reviews: one page per toy. All current reviews are labeled "Researched": we did not test the product; we used specifications, the maker's guidance, recall records, and owner feedback. "Hands-on tested" is reserved for products we have used.
- Guides: gift guides, comparisons (for example LEGO vs Mega), and how-to-choose articles.
- Brand pages: what each brand makes, typical prices, the maker's age guidance, our picks, and current offers.
- Offers: only offers we found on the brand's or retailer's official website, each with its source, conditions, and the date we last checked it. "Listed on the official website" does not mean the brand confirmed the offer to us. We do not publish unverified promo codes.
- The Gift Finder: a short quiz (age, interests, budget) that suggests toys from our reviews.

## Editorial method

- No paid placements. Brands cannot pay to be included or ranked.
- Every pick says who it suits and what to keep in mind, including downsides.
- Safety: we point readers to the maker's age and safety guidance. We do not certify that a toy is safe.
- Pages show when they were last updated. We correct mistakes and note material changes.

## How affiliate links work

- ToyNoble is applying to affiliate programs. Product links currently go to retailer and brand websites; commission-earning links will be disclosed near the recommendation when partnerships become active.
- Commissions never decide which toys we pick or how we describe them.
- Prices change. A price on ToyNoble is the price we saw on the date shown; the retailer's page is the source of truth.
