Christmas gifts to treat the to kids

Whether they’re into arts and crafts, construction, wheeled toys or playing house, there are so many cool gifts you can get kids of all ages on Oxford Street. We’re pretty sure they’ll love a a ride-on mini scooter, a Play-Doh Rainbow Ice Cream set, a play kitchen or a doctors play kit.

You’re never too old for games, especially if it involves getting the whole family involved for a competitive round. Try Escape The Murder Express for a mystery-solving experience, or Twister for good old nostalgic fun. If board games aren’t their thing, then they might be into video games. In that case, they’ll no doubt love the games everyone are talking about right now: Minecraft. Or for some nostalgia treat them to Pokemon trading cards from MINISO.

There are very few children and teenagers out there who dislike chocolate and sweets, so an edible gift will go down a treat, and it’s a great stocking filler too. This Beanboozled box combines a game with Jelly Beans, and you can’t go wrong with a chocolate Harry Potter wand. If they’re budding chefs, try a sorbet ice cream maker or a ‘make your own pizza’ kit.

Is there anything better than snuggling down with the kids during the Christmas break with a good book, film or TV show? We love The Mission Impossible box set, which will be great for teenagers, or the selection of films and series on Disney+ that are suitable for all ages. Little avid readers will love this personalised nursery rhymes book, while older kids will like the illustrated Amber Spyglass book.

Big or little, into fancy dress or sporty gear, there’s a clothing gift for everyone on Oxford Street, including pyjamas and a snug dressing down at Matalan, football kits supporting different teams at JD Sports, a Baby Yoda costume at H&M and an embellished denim jacket at Mango.

There are plenty of tech gifts out there that can both entertain and educate kids of all ages. For example, Microsoft’s XBox Series S games console (which you can also try in store), Fitbit’s Ace 3 Kid’s fitness tracker, this Lego polaroid playset from Selfridges and Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S9 tablet.

Keep the kids busy on Christmas afternoon with a fun art project. From painting, knitting, DIY stain glass windows, mosaics and jewellery making kits – there is something for every kid this Christmas.
