Add a personal touch
There’s something extra special about seeing a little one's name stitched, printed or embossed onto a gift – especially when it’s their first Christmas.
Personalised presents strike the perfect balance between thoughtful and timeless. A soft cotton hooded towel embroidered with their name, becomes both a bath-time essential and a keepsake. Add a cuddly companion like an elephant, giraffe or bunny soft toy – made even more lovable with custom details – and you’ve got a gift they’ll treasure long after the wrapping paper’s gone.
For something more playful, try numbered stacking blocks, a wooden doll's house, or a personalised Christmas Eve box to fill with their favourite treats. Every item feels considered, fun and uniquely theirs – everything a gift at this age should be.
Thoughtful gifts for growing minds
The best gifts are the ones that keep little minds busy long after Christmas Day. Educational toys strike a perfect balance between fun and development – encouraging creativity, curiosity and problem-solving through play.
The Early Learning Centre range is full of cleverly designed toys for all ages. Budding doctors will love the role-play doctor’s case, packed with realistic tools to inspire endless make-believe check-ups. For little engineers, a wooden train set encourages storytelling and motor skills, all while keeping their hands (and imagination) moving.
Younger children can explore sounds and rhythm with a colourful percussion set, or care for their very own baby doll – a gentle way to develop empathy and social play. These simple, thoughtful toys help turn everyday moments into something quietly educational.
Festive favourites for Percy Pig fans
Got a Percy Pig fan in the family? From sweet treats to bedtime essentials, the Percy Pig gift range is packed with fun ideas for kids who can’t get enough of their favourite character.
Start with the basics: a Percy Pig mug, complete with playful 3D details and a curly tail handle is perfect for hot chocolate on chilly mornings. Percy Pig slippers or bedding bring colour and comfort to everyday routines, ideal for brightening up mornings.
Need a no-fuss option to send in the post? This Percy Pig letterbox gift is filled with fan favourites, including classic Percy sweets and our new Sandwich Creams, all neatly boxed and ready to deliver straight to their door.
Sleepwear they’ll want to wear all day
New pyjamas are a Christmas tradition for a reason – soft, well-made, and designed with little personalities in mind.
For younger kids, bold prints are always a hit. A Spider-Man or dinosaur-print set brings just the right mix of fun and comfort, perfect for winding down in after a busy Christmas morning or curling up in for a festive movie marathon.
To complete the look, add a fleece dressing gown and a pair of fluffy slippers. Made for chilly mornings or lazy afternoons, they’re the kind of extras they’ll reach for again and again.
Beyond the novelty
Character gifts don’t have to be a throwaway. When they’re well-made and genuinely useful, they become the pieces kids wear on repeat – long after the novelty wears off.
A Lightning McQueen hoodie brings a touch of bold energy to everyday dressing, whilst the Squishmallows sweatshirt dress turns their favourite cuddly characters into a wearable layer they’ll live in all winter. For school or weekend adventures, the Lilo & Stitch backpack is a smart choice – padded, water-repellent, and full of personality.
For screen-to-shelf magic, this Elphaba and Glinda Playset brings the world of Wicked to life. Even rainy days get an upgrade with Spider-Man wellies, built for stomping through puddles in superhero style. These pieces are designed to delight from first glance, yet built with the quality and wearability to last beyond the season.
