It is that time of the year and I know lots of you are just as excited as I am! If you are looking for a little inspiration before you start your shopping, look no further than our Christmas gift ideas for kids.
When it comes to gifts for either your own children or those of family and friends, it can be really tricky to know what to buy. At this time of year, it can be so overwhelming with deals and adverts as to what is going to be hot and not so much.
We have you covered for the younger children to teens and even some stocking filler ideas! So let’s get stuck in and see just what is out there this year!
ToyChoc 6 Piece Christmas Gift Set
This gift box is great for something a little different from what you find in the usual stores.
Each box contains a 10g organic chocolate, a 3D puzzle toy and a fun fact card.
Play In Choc also does individual and smaller sets so if you were looking for a fun table setting for the kids or a replacement for crackers, they would be perfect.
Oh Deer Festive Christmas Stacking Balance Game
Looking for a little fun game to keep the kids entertained over the festive period, this is the perfect stocking filler idea!
Simple but fun, it makes it a winner in my eyes.
LED Christmas YoYo
Even the teenagers in our household still love a good yoyo!
This is a cheap but fun gift idea for any stocking.
Make Your Own Christmas Tree Kit
Something to keep the kids entertained for a bit with the treat at the end.
This is a great gift idea if you want to have a little craft activity to break up the Christmas holidays.
Swizzels Squashies Naughty & Nice
For those looking for some cheap but fun stocking fillers, Swizzels has released some fun Christmas squashies that taste amazing.
If you fancy trying them, they are Strawberry Ice Cream and Apple Pie Flavour and do not cost a fortune.
RED5 Vortex Spinner
Spinners and fidget spinners are still a great idea for stocking fillers that do not cost too much.
There is something about the fidget toys that still keeps kids entertained for hours yet there is not much to them. With a light-up spinner, you are just adding to the fun.
Connetix Rainbow Mini Pack
When it comes to Christmas gifts, you may find that there are lots of toys on the market that are loud and bright, so if you are after something that requires imagination over batteries, then this is one for you to consider.
With 24 connecting magnetic tiles, children are able to explore shapes and colours in 2D and 3D as their imagination takes over and lets them build whatever they want.
I love the fact that there is no batteries, sounds or lights with this gift idea and it can be enjoyed for hours, with each time it being used, different ideas and stories come to life. You can also buy more CONNEXTIX packs to build your collection.
Pati-school Party Creations Starter Kit
For those looking for some crafting-inspired gifts, look no further than this Pati-school Party Creations Starter Kit.
This pack come with everything you need to create 6 creations, which include a treasure box, photo holder and keyring. Using 2 different Pati-School modelling doughs you create your items just like you would a cake, piping your designs and then decorating them (though this uses colourful beads and rhinestones!)
Let your children’s imagination take over for a bit whilst they get creative this festive period.
Aquabeads Pretty Pets Set
Aquabeads are always a winner when we have brought them as gifts and this set is going to be no different!
With over 500 beads and template sheets, your little one can create their own car, dog and rabbit design plus many more that they choose. With 21 colour beads to choose from, the design they make is likely to be unique every time too.
We have had hours of fun with Aquabeads growing up and I can imagine this pet set is going to be very popular this Christmas, at only £7 it makes a great gift idea too that doesn’t blow the budget!
NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC Mega Fossil and Gemstone Dig Kit
We were recently away at a place that sold mini dig kits after a walk through the caves and even the teenagers spent hours trying to dig the stones and fossils out, so I know this will be popular at Christmas.
This kit includes 10 real gemstones and 10 real fossils to dig out, so it won’t be over within a few minutes as they spend time digging them out but also learning about each gemstone and fossil with the information learning guide that comes with it.
Check out the other items on offer too from National Geographic as they try to inspire learning in a fun way.
Pyjamas – Little Luxuries
Is there anything better than new pj’s? I don’t think so!
So why not treat your little ones to a pair of gorgeous pyjamas for them to spend the festive season in snuggling up and watching movies, enjoying the festive food and most importantly, playing with all their new gifts for hours on end?
British Boxers are my go-to brand now with PJs after working with them this year, they are just such great quality and make you feel amazing. Why not check out their kid’s range above?
Personalised Blankets
For something a little different, how about getting your little one a personalised blanket? Whether it be with a picture of their favourite memory, person or even pet, it is a great addition that will bring them comfort when they need it.
Vista Print have a wide range of gift ideas for children and adults, so if you haven’t checked them out yet, you should!
Mini Pancake Maker
We have pancake-mad children in this household and it takes ages to make them enough pancakes to fill them up. This little gadget though is going to be popular in our household over Christmas as they will be able to make their own!
This one was originally from QD Stores, which I can’t currently see online so you may only be able to purchase it in-store but there are others on the market too if you are unable to find it.
These mini gadgets are great for building up confidence and independence in teens as they learn to navigate the kitchen a little. It is also fun as they can make themselves a post-Christmas treat too!
DEERC RC Stunt Car
Sometimes you just need a little bit of laughter and fun to brighten up the festive period and that is what we have planned in our household as we have brought both of ours one of these stunt cars.
With the 360° rotation and its double-sided driving capability this RC car. You can perform amazing flips, spins, and tricks without worrying about getting stuck and it is time for full-on races and competitions, trust me as the kids get older, they get more competitive!
It comes with rechargeable batteries too, so hoping that makes it a little easier to keep charging than finding replacements!
True Genius Curated Collection Wooden Puzzles
We love a brain-teasing puzzle in this house, especially the little ones you get in things like crackers and advent calendars so this set would be perfect for either of our two!
Originating from ancient China, these brain teasers, also known as Kong Ming Locks, offer an engaging and intellectually stimulating experience. Perfect for both adults and kids, these puzzles provide a delightful way to develop logical thinking and problem-solving abilities while serving as a charming family game or thoughtful gift.
They are all compact too, so perfect for keeping on their desks for when they start to get fidgety!
Sloth DIY Crochet Kit
I absolutely love this idea and did think about popping it in the adult guide! However, I know a few teens that are really into crochet so I know this will be a popular choice.
If the craft ideas above are a little too young for your children, this one is going to be perfect. Crochet has really grown in popularity lately and the animals and animal-themed designs are popular. What is great about this kit is it has everything to complete your own sloth and it is not very expensive either!
Hopefully, this has given you a little inspiration for gift ideas that are a little outside the norm you see in all the shops. Although we have found that lots of things have increased in price this year, there are still some great gifts to pick up that don’t blow the budget! What is on your children’s wish list this year?
