Christmas is a key selling period for children's toys is it? The only thing remarkable here is that they've gone a bit retro/un-pc with their targeting of mums rather than 'parents'. Is that because its dads that usually buy the bricks?

I think it's because the kids market is saturated. They've spotted that new mums' brains have been reduced to jelly by the mindless routine of childcare, and they're going to position Duplo as a means of regaining various mental skills. Very clever.
