Don't let Santa get all the credit! We've rounded up the best gifts for kids this year with our 2021 Kids Christmas Gift Guide. From ukuleles and monster trucks to colouring books and pet puppies, there's something for every child in this gift guide.
A Classic Gets a Makeover!
Marbles are cool again thanks to VTech and their new Marble Rush Launch Pad.
Designed for ages 4 and up, this toy lets you build stunts and challenges before launching your marbles across the course. Colour coded with a musical light-show rocket ship, it includes an easy to follow guide with three different builds frm beginner to advanced - or you can use your imagination and create your own courses.
When you've finished building, drop the 10 marbles into action and watch them race down the ramps to the launcher and across the course.
Dads will love this toy as much as the kids!
Get ready to battle!
Our top picks for boys this year? Definitely the VTech Switch and Go, Smash and Crash Dinos for the older boys and the VTech Toot Toot Drivers Smart Monster Truck. What little boy (and let's be honest, their Dads too!) wouldn't love a new car for Christmas?!
A Pet without the Clean Up!
I feel like every kid adds a pet to their Christmas wishlist at least once - and VTech have the perfect no-mess solution.
The Play and Go Puppy Salon is such a fun gift idea for any puppy lover, with its carry along salon complete with fabric puppy and accessories. Pop puppy into the turning chair and use the comb, clippers, towel and bone to make sure she looks her best!
The salon has 5 chunky light up colour buttons to teach objects, colours and grooming facts through 3 modes of play; learning, role play and music. You can even blow dry or shower the puppy with the interactive hairdryer and shower accessories.
Gifts that They'll Use Again and Again!
Smiggle always have a huge variety of Christmas gift options - and this year, they have an incredible Disney collection. From your favourite Marvel characters to Ariel and Cinderella, they've got the Disney fans sorted.
I love this Ariel Backpack and matching water bottle that would be perfect for school or daycare (or just using on the weekend!) and we always think that Thermos's FUNtainer range is great for gifting because they're fun, durable and perfect for back to school.
Family Game Night
We love board games in our house and these are two of our family favourites from Latest Buy!
Qwirkle is a fun matching game for ages 3 and up where you match colours or shapes to make up a row. It's just as fun for kids as it is for adults and will keep the whole family occupied.
Connect Four is another favourite - and an all time classic that never goes wrong!

Make Learning Fun!
I love gifts for kids that also teach them something - and we've got two gifts that combine both play and learning!
Ukulele Mate's Bondi Surf Series Ukeleles are perfect for kids with their fun colours and small size and prices start at $129 and that includes:
- A Ukulele Bag of your choice
- Tuner with LCD display
- Complete set of spare strings
- Books and chord charts to help you learn how to play
- Cleaning cloths
- Chord stamp
- 30-min Skype lesson
- Accessories bag
- Ukelele bookmark
- Felt picks
- An adjustable Ukulele strap
- Fretboard "learn to play" stickers
and a series of emails and tips to keep you motivated to learn. They have a handy Ukulele Buyers Guide to help you choose the right instrument and so many helpful tips.
Our second learning made fun gift is the Hape Monster Math Scale. This monster family themed toy introduces kids to weight, measurements and balance through play whilst promoting fine motor skills and concentration.
