"We quit shipping Christmas items from China and moved to our Easter item in order to have it here in time," McGill says. And so, a few weeks ago, McGill's team watched the port bottlenecks, calculated timelines and made a painful call - to give up on Christmas. Its top seller is the Easter egg toy, called Eggmazing. His company makes spinning toys that help children decorate Christmas ornaments or Easter eggs. Like Nelson, McGill in Texas also had to raise prices to offset higher costs. "Expect there to be a lot of empty shelves and minimal supply on e-commerce stores like Amazon for a lot of hot toy products," says Lev Nelson, CEO of Seattle-based Sky Castle Toys, which has also cut back on production and raised online prices. Texas toy company Hey Buddy Hey Pal has shrunk its packaging so more toys can fit into a single shipping container.
