Christmas
is a time to come together and celebrate with your closest friends and family,
gorging on sweet and savoury delights and enjoying a tipple or 2, and if you
have kids then it’s a time of endless Christmas lists, hints and “can I have
this”, like they think you haven’t got things already in check. When it comes
to buying gifts for kids, if guided by them we will be spending huge amounts of
money on toys and accessories which will go out of fashion in a few weeks or
keep them glued to the screen for even longer.
For
this list we have pulled together 6 great toys that are on trend, educational
or promote outdoor activities, after all, we all need a little pick me up after
the year we have had!
Baby
Yoda
This
one isn’t just for kids really, I know a few adults who would really love a
Baby Yoda of their own, including myself. The side story of the Mandalorian has
taken the online world by storm with Baby Yoda memes appearing online as soon
as the first episode aired, welcoming a whole new generation into the Star Wars
galaxy. If you are buying gifts for any Star Wars fan this Christmas, then a
Baby Yoda plush is a must have gift!
Lego
Gingerbread House
Kids
love Lego, Christmas, and gingerbread, so what is more fitting for this
Christmas than the latest Lego gingerbread house? This great gift idea will
make Christmas day fun as the Gingerbread house begins to take shape. Lego
makes a great gift as it teaches children to follow instructions to build the
mini masterpiece, as well as encouraging creativity, giving them some mental
stimulation, which is well needed after the year we have been through.
Nerf
Ultra
If
your home is peaceful and doesn’t look like a warzone then you should
definitely consider adding the Nerf Ultra to your gift list. These foam blasters
make a great gift for any youngster that needs to burn off some energy as they
are perfectly safe for outdoors, helping part the kids from their screens.
These toys can teach teamwork and cooperation between individuals, which in
today’s world is an essential skill.
Personalised
T Shirt
If
you want to opt for something a little more thoughtful such as a gift that’s
going to come as a welcome surprise and be cherished for years to come, then a
piece of personalised clothing would make the perfect choice for you. You can
find a huge range of garments at Banana
Moon Clothing which you
can add your own unique designs, images and text to, meaning you can easily
find and create the perfect gift this Christmas.
Coding
Critters
Educational
toys make fantastic gifts, especially when the toys are designed to teach
children lasting skills which can be utilised throughout their lives and help
shape their future. Coding Critters are absolutely brilliant as the story they
tell enables children to actively code along with it, solving a series of
problems as they progress, all helping stimulate their minds and develop their
problem solving abilities, all whilst being screen free, taking one more
problem out of your hair!
