Children’s Christmas Gift Guide – Awesome Christmas Gift Ideas for Kids | AD

We are getting close to December which means it’s time to start preparing Christmas presents for your loved ones. If you are looking for Christmas gift ideas for kids, you will find plenty of fun options below in my Children’s Christmas gift guide. I’ve gathered my favourite gifts for children here – from a brilliant audiobook player for kids, to fun crafty activities, to books, practical gifts, fidget toys and more. Let’s get started!

Voxblock Screen-free Audiobook Player

At the top of my list of Christmas gift ideas for kids is Voxblock, the screen-free (and WiFi-free) children’s audiobook player, designed in Scotland by parents Rebecca and Tom for their own young children.

It’s such a great invention – it’s really easy for children to use and there are hundreds of tangible audiobooks to choose from so that children can enjoy listening to their favourite stories and discover new ones too.

There’s no set-up needed for the audiobook player and no internet required so children can get started listening to audiobooks straight away. There are VoxBlock gift packs available that make the perfect starter sets with a Voxblock Player, 1-3 audiobooks (depending on the pack), charging cable and case. Then the audiobook collection can be expanded with further audiobooks from as little as £5.99. Shop from voxblock.co.uk or via Amazon.co.uk.

Clever Book Publishing Educational Activity Cards for Kids

Clever Book Publishing makes activity cards that are designed to encourage hands-on learning, problem-solving, and creativity in kids aged 2-7. There’s a wide range of activity cards to choose from and they’re all travel friendly and lots of fun for little ones.

If you are looking for an educational Christmas gift, this Play and Learn Bundle for Early Childhood Education is perfect. It consists of two interactive sets: Play and Learn with Letters and Play and Learn with Numbers. Each set comes with 50 double-sided wipe clean cards and a dry-erase marker. Because the cards are wipe-clean, you can reuse the cards endlessly and practice lots without wasting any paper.

The cards have lots of activities that children will enjoy doing whilst learning letters and numbers. There are cards to learn how to write letters and numbers, then lots of interesting cards with other challenges to build foundational literacy and numeracy skills in an interactive way. Both these sets are the perfect size for stocking fillers/stuffers and make valuable, practical gifts for kids.

Plus-Plus HEXEL Fidget Toy

HEXEL by Plus-Plus is a fidget toy for hands of all sizes. It’s crafted with six Plus-Plus BIG pieces connected by a flexible cord that allows you to flex the pieces into different shapes as you fidget with it. You can bend it and twist it and watch how it connects to create mesmerizing forms. Or simply enjoy the soothing play.

HEXEL is completely quiet and pocket-friendly and portable too so you can play with it anywhere you want. It’s available in three colour variations (you can see the Spectrum version here) from amazon.co.uk and other good toy and gift stores. 

So Bomb Bath Bomb Dispenser from Canal Toys

The dispenser is filled with 20 wonderfully scented mini bath bombs in bright colours. The bath bombs come in the following scents: Strawberry, Vanilla, and Pineapple. Plus, 10 of the mini bath bombs have charms hidden inside too. Children will love collecting the charms of different designs to use to make their very own friendship bracelet.

The So Bomb Bath Bomb Dispenser from Canal Toys is suitable for children aged 6+ and is available from Amazon.co.uk, Argos, and other good toy shops.

b.box Insulated Sport Spout Bottle

Here is a practical gift that kids will love too. A new reusable water bottle is always a great gift, especially if it’s as cool as the b.box Insulated Sport Spout Bottle. This 500ml insulated steel bottle keeps drinks cold for up to 15 hours or warm for 8 hours. 

The sporty, leak proof design is ideal for on the go hydration and the push-button opening and silicone spout makes it so easy for kids to sip. The bumper keeps the bottle steady, the carry handle is great for easy transportation, and the bottle is super easy to clean too.

b.box Small Insulated Lunch Box Jar

This adorable, insulated lunch box jar is also by b.box. The b.box Small Insulated Lunch Box is a double-walled insulated stainless steel food jar for children. It will keep food cold for up to six hours and hot for up to four hours.

So Slime DIY Slimelicious Slime ‘Presso Machine

Next up, an amazing set for kids that love slime! The So Slime DIY Slimelicious Slime ‘Presso Machine allows children to make their own slimy drink creations – to play with, not drink of course! It’s lots of fun plus it promotes imaginative play while offering sensory satisfaction too. 

The set includes an electronic mixer (which looks like a cute coffee machine), 10 slime powders, 5 premade slimes, 8 decoration bags, 3 cups, 3 straws, and a recipe card.

To turn the slime powder into slime, add the powder to the cup, then place in the stand of the mixer, add water from the mixer, then pull the lever to mix the powder and water. Then add your decorations and more slime to make a bubble-tea, a smoothie, a Frappuccino or anything else that you can make up. 

The So Slime DIY Slimelicious Slime ‘Presso Machine is available from Amazon.co.uk, Argos, Very and other good toy shops.

Splash Swim Kids Goggles

If you’re looking for a gift for a young swimmer, then these Splash Swim Kids Goggles from Kids Happy House would make an excellent gift. These patent-pending swim goggles have a very unique design – instead of a regular goggle strap that constantly needs adjusting to stop it from pulling your child’s hair or squashing their ears, the Splash Swim Kids Goggles have a wide band that stretches easily and comfortably to fit your child’s head. It’s such a clever design! The goggles are also shatter-resistant, hypoallergenic, and sensory friendly.

The Splash Swim Kids Goggles are available in lots of fun and cool designs so you are sure to find a style that suits the child you’re buying for. A great gift for children who love to swim or splash around in the pool. Buy Splash Swim Kids Goggles from Kids Happy House here.
