Princess Play Sets
You've probably seen these viral princess play sets everywhere, and they're such a lovely gift idea! They come with some great little bits inside and are perfect for imaginative play.
Yoto Players
If you've followed me for a while, you'll know how much we LOVE our Yoto! It's a firm favourite in our house and there's such a huge range of cards to choose from, including The Gruffalo, Bluey, Frozen, Spider-Man and so many more.
The best thing is that they really grow with your child, so it's something they'll get years of use out of!
Activities to Keep Them Busy
If you're looking for something to keep the kids entertained over the Christmas holidays, these are some brilliant options:
- Peelies sticker books
- Foil Fun
- Magic water painting books
- Sticker stamper books
Educational Gifts
I love finding gifts that get the kids learning without them even realising it!
Electro Snaps is a brilliant circuit-building science toy.
Space Lab is a great one too for curious little minds!

Bigger Buys
If you're thinking of getting the kids a bigger present this year, my biggest tip is to check Facebook Marketplace and Vinted FIRST!
You can find some absolute bargains, often in brilliant condition, and save yourself a fortune compared to buying brand new.
Hot wheels garage sets and Barbie dream houses seem to be VERY popular currently.
More Toy Inspiration
A few more favourites that are definitely worth adding to your Christmas list:
- Magna-Tiles
- Sylvanian Families
- K'nex
- Plus plus
Dressing Up Outfits
You really can't go wrong with dressing up outfits at this age! They're brilliant for encouraging imaginative play.
Games for the Whole Family
If you're looking for something you can all get involved in over Christmas, these are some fab options:
- The Floor Is Lava
- Sentence Search
- Sequence for Kids
I always think games make such lovely presents because they're something you can enjoy together too!
Subscription gifts
Two subscriptions I really recommend are KiwiCo and Brick Borrow.
KiwiCo has some fantastic science experiments and activities for kids, and they also offer one-off boxes, which would make a brilliant Christmas present without committing to a subscription.
Brick Borrow is another fab idea! It's a LEGO subscription where you can borrow sets, build them and then return them for something new. Such a clever way to enjoy more LEGO without constantly buying new sets!
A Few More Crowd-Pleasers
If you're still looking for ideas, here are a few more that I think would go down a treat:
- IClever headphones- my kids love these
- A kids polaroid-style camera
- Amazon kids tablet- we use ours for lots of educational games!
- Tonie box – although I'm definitely team Yoto, Tonies have recently brought out some new Pokémon characters which seem to be SO popular!
My Favourite Budget-Friendly Gift
Finally, one of my absolute favourite things to buy the kids is actually one of the cheapest!
I love popping into our local charity shop and picking up new bedtime stories for 50p. You really don't need to spend a fortune to find something they'll love, and it's such a lovely way to give books a new home.
So hopefully that's given you plenty of inspiration for your Christmas shopping! Whether you're after a bigger present, a stocking filler or something educational, there are so many lovely options out there.
And remember, Christmas doesn't have to cost a fortune. Some of the best gifts are the ones that get played with over and over again! ❤️
