Even the fussiest of kids will love these unique and fun Christmas gifts

Christmas gifts for kids.

As a new mum, I had no clue how hard it would be to navigate the world of gifts for kids. Even for a toddler, there are so many options out there that it's hard to know what they will genuinely love, versus what will be discarded after a couple of days.

I'm trying to be mindful with my shopping (if you are too, shop our ethical gifts here), and avoid cheap plastic toys where possible - which I know is hard, as much as you've sworn you'll only ever buy wooden toys.

If that's not possible, I look for gifts that I know will get plenty of wear/love, beyond this festive season, and can last long enough to be re-gifted to younger siblings or friends.

If you're as confused as I have been, you'll be pleased to hear I've done all the hard work for you, hunting for the best gifts to get you to the top of the nice list with the kids in your life this Christmas. (We're not promising to make you their new favourite, but...)

Whether you're an aunt, vying for the title of the 'cool' one, or a parent excited to see the look on their little face in the bleary early hours of Christmas morning, I hope my edit will help add a touch of magic to the big day.

There's a little something for kids of all age groups, from toddlers to teenagers, that should keep them entertained for (hopefully) a very long time. I've included a mix of gifts for all budgets, from clothes to toys.

If you need inspiration for the rest of the family, be sure to check out our other gift guides: Christmas gifts for her and Christmas gifts for him.
