Van Dijk toys

Van Dijk toys sounds like a broad toy-brand label rather than one sharply defined product, so the honest reading is simple: it is for children and the adults buying toys for them. By our assessment, the best thing about a name like this is that it can cover ordinary toy categories without pretending to be something special, from playthings for very young children to more general family toys. The downside is equally broad, because a wide label gives little clue about material, age fit, or the kind of play involved. In practice that means the name carries almost no information on its own and has to be judged by the actual item underneath it. Van Dijk toys is a plain retail-style name, and that lack of specificity is its defining feature.
