Records - Toys, Games and Gifts
For many years, world record related toys, games and gifts have been produced in
association with Guinness World Records. This section of our web-site will

games encourage young people to get involved with records and record breaking;
for anyone with an interest in the Guinness Record books, they are well worth a
trip to the local toy shop or online auction site!
