Fabulously unique gift ideas for kids of all ages

I have pulled together a few unique ideas for each age range. So no matter what the age of the child you are looking to buy for his year there is something for you.  

Fabulously unique gift ideas for babies

I always find the baby years difficult to buy for. Because let’s face it, they don’t exactly do a lot.  But they also develop so quickly that I feel compelled to buy a gift that will grow with them. So with that in mind here are a few suggestions that will be very much loved. 

Smart Sounds Symphony – Magic Touch

Priced at £29.95 this musical activity station has over 120 different melodies and sounds. Helping babies to develop in so many ways. It is made with award-winning Magic Touch technology. All they need to do is simply tap the six smiling animals to start making sweet music. There are three different modes, including instruments, colours & animals. It also has adjustable volume, multi-coloured lights and a useful carry handle. Making it a super-cool toy is perfect for any little musician. An ideal gift if the parents are music lovers or musicians themselves

Stacking Pyramid – Water World

You can not beat a stacking toy, they were massively loved by both my boys growing up.  And this one is brilliant. Not only does it stand an impressive 90cm tall when all of the numbered pieces are assembled. Each section is beautifully illustrated.  Once stacked, they show an interesting underwater world, from the brightly coloured fish at the bottom, to the happy ducklings and darting dragonflies at the top. It also stores away simply in its own box, with each piece also stacking inside each other. So if space is a problem then this toy will be perfect. Priced at £15.95

 

Tree Top Adventure – Wooden Activity Centre

If you are looking for a toy that will grow with your child then this would be a great gift. This fun wooden activity centre is packed full of exciting features. Split into four quadrants with a variety of different animals and beads. It comes with six tracks with animal-themed gliders, six bead runs with colourful wooden beads and peek-a-boo doors and spinners. The whole piece is beautifully decorated with colourful leaves, birds and fruit. The pushing, turning and moving activities help stimulate and develop better hand-eye coordination and motor skills.  Initially, they can sit and kneel before being able to stand and play. Priced at £89.95.

Fabulously unique gift ideas for kids for toddlers

It has to be my favourite age, but toddlers are always into absolutely everything. Inquisitive they are like little sponges soaking up everything. For this reason, educational toys are always a good starting point.

Hand Puppets – Set of 6 Safari Animals

The boys loved hand puppets when they were little.  The educational nature of puppets is vast and they would make a wonderful gift for toddlers. The friendly elephant, tiger, parrot, giraffe, monkey and zebra make it easy for children to role-play together. These simple glove puppets help children act out scenes, practice new vocabulary and spend quality time playing together, great for motor skills and self-confidence. The set also comes in a box which can double as a puppet theatre. Priced at £25.95

Four Seasons – Wooden Jigsaw Puzzle

This puzzle is a wonderful introduction to the world of nature for young children. Hand-painted in vibrant colours, separate pieces represent different elements of nature, from rainbows and sunshine, to snow and autumn leaves. Jigsaws help little ones to develop finger motor skills and this puzzle is so different. Measuring 25cm x 25cm, see the beautiful tree change as the season’s progress from Spring through to Winter. As they are hand made no two are the same. The jigsaw comes in a handy cotton bag making storage easy. Priced at £34.95

Paint Sticks – 24 Assorted Colours

You can not go wrong with art materials and these paint sticks are great as they twist up and down like a glue stick which means that no brushes or water are needed. These super-slick paints glide directly onto paper, card, canvas, wood and even glass. This bumper pack of 24 colours includes 6-day glow colours and 6 metallic paints, as well as 12 classic colours. Perfect for painting, stamping, scraping and dotting with the added bonus that they dry within minutes. Perfect, mess-free, creative fun. Priced at £19.95

Fabulously unique gift ideas for 5-8 year-olds

Now at school playtime becomes a way of relaxing. Toys start to get a bit smaller and focus mainly on STEM activities. Designed to help them learn while they are playing the good bit is that they don’t even realise they are doing it.

Build a Fort – Glow in the Dark 85 piece Set

This set brings the adventure of camping indoors. It is so much better than a chair and sheet which is all we had when we were little. The boys have a set similar to this and have had hours of fun playing with it. It comes with 85 glow in the dark balls and poles that join together to build a fun play space. Build different shaped play structures from a fort one day and a tunnel, tower or hut the next – then cover with bedsheets and snuggle into your cool new den. With an LED flashlight to charge and recharge the glow in the dark structure, perfect for sleepovers, indoor camping and rainy days.  Priced at £34.95.

Live Butterfly Garden – Caterpillars to Butterflies

For something completely different this makes a wonderful gift all year round. The 30 cm tall reusable butterfly habitat is made of super clear mesh for better viewing and folds flat when not in use. Comes with a feeding pipette, activity guide and instructions, with a certificate voucher that you redeem to receive a set of five caterpillars (sent March to mid-September). You then watch the tiny caterpillars grow up to ten times their size before transforming into chrysalides – watch them change into beautiful butterflies and release them into the wild. A lovely nature project that’s fun and rewarding. Priced at £18.95.  Read about our experience – Learning about the butterfly cycle.

Interactive Glow T-Shirt

Each word, picture or design lasts about 5 minutes before it fades and you can then start drawing again. Draw freehand or over an object for a really cool shadow effect. Made of 100% cotton, machine washable and brilliant fun for parties, discos and sleepovers – really stand out from the crowd! Priced at £15.95.
