Are you trying to think what to get your children this year or maybe you are the aunty and are brainstorming what kids like… then here are 10 ideas that my kids love and also are popular in our store.
Gift idea 1- Connetix- these are played with every day in our house and the creations that are made by my 4 year old are AMAZING. The imagination he uses to create buildings, ferries, train stations and more is so lovely to watch. We stock so many different packs from the Mega pack to the smaller (and cheaper) packs that are great to top up existing packs. My recommendations are Connetix Creative Pack – $169 and the new Rainbow Transport Pack– $105 or the Mini Rainbow Pack- $54
Gift idea 2- Shrinkies-Â the kids have fun colouring in plastic drawings and then can put it in the oven and it shrinks. They can make keyrings, bracelets and necklaces with the different packs to choose from. $20
Gift idea 3- Kiddi Kutter Knives- all 3 kids have used these knives through the years. It is a safe knife that cuts soft food like mushrooms and cucumber, but can also be used with hard foods like carrots, but you use a saw action to cut. $19.95
Gift idea 4- Shopping List- the games from Orchard Toys are fun, easy and educational. I played this game with my then 2 year old with modifications to make it easier and also with my 10 year old. Perfect for memory, sharing and matching. $27.95
Gift idea 5- Microscope Set – I was so impressed with the quality of this microscope and what we could see through it. $35
Gift idea 6- b.box lunch box– My daughter who is 10 years old used this lunch box last year and this year and it still looks new. It is so easy to use with a large section for a sandwich, two areas that are leakproof, a section for biscuits/wrap or even a banana plus a spot for a whole apple. $32.95
Gift idea 7- Bedhead hats– My kids have worn these for years and they last. Perfect to hand on to other family members because they dont fade or come apart. The normal hats and swim hats are perfect to wear at the beach or playground. They come in sizes 0-3 months and up to 13 years.
Gift idea 8- Coast Kids– Silicone bucket and spade. These come in Mint or Pink and perfect to use at the beach. They are durable, strong and squish up so easy to pack in the beach bag. $29.95
Gift idea 9- Tiger Tribe sets- my favourites are the Outdoor Set which is perfect to keep the kids busy outside during the holidays. Also the colouring in sets like Ballet are great to use when at cafes, on hot days in the house or in the car. $20-$27.50
Gift idea 10- b.box drink bottles– We love the insulated drink bottles in our family. I use the 500ml one for work and in the car and it stays cold all day. My kids take the 350ml ones to school or when they are out and about. Perfect to use at the beach when you want water to stay cold.
