New for 2025, Sky Trails is a modular construction system from Playmobil that allows kids to build zipline-style tracks across rooms and furniture. Pretty cool huh!

For fans of the How To Train Your Dragon franchise, treat them to the "real" thing. The interactive puppet has over 50 combined sounds and actions and even breathes smoke through his nose and mouth! Age 6+

This authentic Land Rover Discovery Ride On has real wow factor, and was crowned winner in the ‘Splurge’ category at the Big Christmas Wishlist Awards 2025.

With lights, sounds, a working steering wheel and an opening boot, little ones will be delighted with it. But fear not, it also comes with remote control (and a seatbelt!) so parents can take control if they need to for added safety. Age 2+

With over 50 new Yoto Bundles available in time for Christmas – some with over 55 hours of content – each has been carefully curated to appeal to children ages 0 - 12+ with savings to be made on every one.

A brand new launch for 2025 this personalised book from Wonderbly brings together search-and-find I-Spy fun with dinosaur adventure.

Children are taken on an journey in which they will try to find themselves within the book, across colourful, exciting pages. Bedtime has never looked so fun! Age 1-4

This awe-inspiring toy allows them to hatch their own baby T-Rex! With over 100 sounds and reactions, it's super interactive, and once born, it can be trained to be their friend, or a scary predator! Age 5+

Football fanatics will love practising their skills with this simple but addictive keepie uppie counter. Age 6+

The new Toniebox 2 is one of the hottest toy releases for 2025. Like the original, the ears control the volume, but the latest iteration is better suited to a wider age range, with kids as young as one years old able to play with it.

The new Tonieplay Controller means you can turn the audio box into a screen-free game, with interactive Disney quizes, and rescue missions. And this sweet My First Tonies Farm Set will appeal to the youngest ones. Age 1+

The novelty of holding a physical photo can’t be overstated – especially for younger generations accustomed to keeping their memories on social media.

Guess Who? has remained an iconic game for decades and has been given a Marvel update for mega fans. Age 6+

Sometimes you can't beat an old-school, simplistic favourite — and Subbuteo is exactly that. It's easy to play for all the family but is recommended for those aged six and above. Age 6+

This slime kit is about much more than goo. It includes seven science experiments designed to make learning fun and encourage creative problem solving. Age 5+

Colouring never gets old — so much so that adults are doing it now, too. This mini football comes with a pump and a stand (to display the final artwork, of course) and five colouring pens to make it their own. Age 3+

A useful gift is always a safe bet, and gamers will love this. Keep a controller and headset neatly stored on a purpose-built stand instead of cluttered around the console — in fact, is this a gift for parents?

This is an adorable, thoughtful gift for babies and young children, introducing them to their first Peter Rabbit books. It's a gift that will become a keepsake for both children and their parents! Age 0+
