Choosing Christmas gifts for kids can be difficult. Even when you boil it down to the basics, it still ends up with what they think they want, what you think they need, and how much you want to spend. However, when you find the sweet spot, the look you’ll get when they open that present on Christmas morning will leave you with memories to treasure for the rest of your life. Deciding what to buy for the youngsters in your life can depend on a variety of factors, including age, taste and, of course, your budget. Our selection of Christmas ideas for kids is sure to make your seasonal outgoings that much easier, whether they believe in Santa or not!

Toys

Toys are a great way for your kids to learn to interact with the world that’s waiting for them. If your child has completely embraced the idea of being a boy, then toys such as our Vilac Vintage Reed Racing Car and the Scoot and Ride Forest Highwaykick 3 LED scooter probably tick all the required boxes. For affirmed girls, look for toys such as the cute Childhome Standing Giraffe and the Mamatoyz Wooden Doll House. However, if you’re raising your child in a gender-neutral or unisex environment, then gifts like the Floor Splat Mat and the Childhome Rocking Scooter might be just what you’re looking for. On top of that, we’ve got plenty of gadgets and bedroom bits ‘n’ bobs that even fussiest of kids will be thrilled to receive on Christmas day.

Teens 

There’s no arguing about it; teens are difficult to buy for. While they’re straying into adulthood, childhood still isn’t that far behind them. Striking the balance between the two can be trickier than you think. Our theory is to go for something that fulfils both those needs; something that they can enjoy on an adult level yet, when they’ve got friends around, something they can play with an indulge their ‘ironic’ side or at least enjoy as children. Even gifts such as our Taco Dog Toy or the Tooth Fairy Box can excavate a smile from any teenager.

Grown-ups who should know better!

While children come first and foremost on the Christmas roster, there are always those grown-ups who may not have fully achieved adulthood! Whether it’s a favourite uncle or that adult who always makes Christmas extra-special, giving a toy as a gift could trigger a round of games. Check out age-neutral presents such as our Fried Chicken Dog Toy, or the Hape Science Experiment Toolbox to ensure that the right person receives the right gift.

Let Crate and Barrel Sort It

Christmas doesn’t have to be months of silent worrying, digging for hints and clues as to what they’d like, or last-minute dashes to the shops to grab whatever’s left on the shelves. Use our website and you’ll find plenty of ideas for younger members of your family, from toddlers to teens. If you’re looking for gifts for the younger end of the spectrum, then our ‘Toys’ department is packed with ideas. However, if your child is a little older, you’ll find plenty of age-appropriate gifts that might even earn you a ‘thank you!’ on Christmas morning!
