[Ad- gifted products – Updated on November 22nd, 2025 to add more gifts] When it comes to Christmas gifts, there are so many different and new toys out there. To make things a little easier, I have created another gift guide this year! This gift guide is full of toys and games that our household has enjoyed throughout the year. With a bigger focus on physical toys, instead of video games, it has been a good year for toys in our house.
TAMAGOTCHI Angel
Tamagotchi is back in popularity! It’s always so neat to see a toy from when I was a kid being played with again. This Tamagotchi has an angel pet to look after, that you can feed, play games with, and watch grow. It’s a cute key chain that feels like so much fun, especially for children that love little pets to take care of. It’s a blast to the past, that you can enjoy alongside your children, especially with the nostalgia!
Dog Man The Hot Dog Card Game
Between the new Dog Man movie this year and all of the Dog Man books that have been released, there are a lot of Dog Man fans out there! The Dog Man The Hot Dog Card Game is a fun, but very simple game about flipping over cards and collecting hot dogs. Not only is this in an easy to carry round metal tin, but the card game also encourages reading, which is always a plus when it comes to younger children.
Where Are You Book
The Where Are You books allow you to create a customised Where’s Waldo styled book that has a little character of your child in it along with their name. The Extended Christmas Edition is one we went with, that has different Christmas scenes, as well as tons of jobs that your child could have. The eye spy pages define different roles they could have in life, with the challenge of spying themselves and other things within each scene. It is very easy to customise online as well!
Glow and Grow Terrarium
The Glow and Grow Terrarium is a fantastic gift for those that like kits! In this one, you get to layer together your own terrarium, plant the seeds, and then watch them grow over the next week! There are different glow in the dark elements like rocks and stickers that really bring this terrarium to the next level! It’s a very fun kit and we enjoy watching them grow.
Merry Christmas Small Bodo Bear


I feel like every child goes through a collecting teddy bears phase! The Merry Christmas Small Bodo Bear is a fantastic gift, especially for a first Christmas or for a younger child, which has a t-shirt that you can add your child’s name too. It’s a soft plushie, perfect size for little tea parties, and is very cute to boot.
Santa’s Jolly Jokes for Funny Kids
Santa’s Jolly Jokes for Funny Kids is a super silly joke book, with pictures on the pages, that have all holiday themed jokes! I do think the black and white pages, that sort of depict parts of the joke, is such a fun addition to a joke book! It feels like there is a good variety of jokes in this book, with all of them having fantastic punch lines!
Animal World The Memory Game
Animal World The Memory Game is an easy to play, stunning, card-matching game of memory! This game has 28 pairs of animals to match, with each of the designs having been created by Mouth and Foot Painting Artists, who are a collective of disabled artists who paint using their mouths or feet. These animals are so cute and the game itself is a classic.
The Very Merry Lafufu Coloring Book
Lafufus have taken the world by storm over the last year, and so have cozy coloring books! For the holidays, there is a coloring book that combine the two, showing off some silly Lafufu’s in different holiday settings. The Very Merry Lafufu Coloring Book got a lot of very quirky and cute pages and is a fantastic way to wind down and have some screen-free fun.
The Pizza Thief Card Game
Fuzzballs are these adorable little cats, and they have a cute board game that makes a perfect holiday gift! The Pizza Thief is all about playing cards to get the perfect pizza for yourself and to prevent others from getting their perfect pizza. This is an ideal family game, even if you have older children, as it’s just so much fun and can be quite cut-throat too.
A Day in the Life books


These A Day in the Life books are a silly comic book that has a bit of history and learning sprinkled throughout. The Day in the Life of a Caveman, Queen and Everything in Between takes a look at different historical places, different people, and even things that have meaning. It’s interesting for children to thumb through and the artwork is fantastic. A Day in the Life of an Astronaut, Mars and the Distant Stars is similar in it’s quality, but instead of being historical, it’s all about space!
3D Doodler Start+
The 3D Doodler Start+ is a pen that allows children to create 3D works of art. There are different colored fillings that get heated through the pen, which can be drawn into solid, physical items. The pen itself does take some getting use too, but once you have played around with it a bit, it’s very easy to start creating things that are 3D and fun to play with. The pen is also chargeable, which is great too!
2026 Journal for Kids
This 2026 Journal is made for kids, giving them a space to explore emotions, write their thoughts down, and practice a bunch of different ways of writing. There are positive affirmations, prompts to draw and express yourself, and a lot of customisations that make the book feel made for your child. It’s such a fantastic gift for those who love journaling.
Stitch Speedy Puzzle
The Stitch Speedy Puzzle is the perfect puzzle for younger children, as it’s a smaller, easy to put together puzzle for small hands. Inside this box, there are four different puzzles, along with some tokens and a buzzer – to create a sort of game out of building up a puzzle together. It’s a neat idea, especially for younger families that like gamifying their activities together. It brings a new goal and fun to puzzle building.
Littlest Pet Shop Plushie
Littlist Pet Shop have adorable, fun pets! These plushies aren’t too big, aren’t too small, and are so cute. I think they are ideal for those who like more girly things, s they have big, cute, eyes and feel like they’d be great for imaginative play.
Pokemon Carry Case Battle Ruins Playset
The Pokemon Carry Case Battle Ruins Playset is a massive playset area, with Pokemon figures, that can also be transformed into a backpack to take on the go. The whole thing folds out, into a fantastic ruin scene, that you can then play around in with the little Pokemon figures. I like that it is so easy to make into a backpack, putting everything back together so that it can be stored as well.
Disney Lorcana Puzzle
The Disney Lorcana Puzzle is a more classic puzzle, that can be put together by the whole family! This one has loads of classic Disney characters, all of which are featured in the Lorcana card game, coming together in a magical world. It’s a longer puzzle, but one that we enjoy doing s a family, especially around the holidays.
