Let’s be honest, most children over the age of, say, five have very specific requests from Father Christmas. But here are a few suggestions to balance out the Paw Patrol and Babysitters’ Club.
Will this cute felt veggie set ($60) convince your child to eat vegetables? Anything’s worth a try.
These colour-changing markers ($12.99) are pretty fun. You use one end to draw one colour, and then the other end to create a second “magic” colour. This brand – ooly – is worth looking at for primary-aged children who love craft and colouring in.
Who can resist Miffy ($39.99)?
This retro-style hat ($39) will make your kid the coolest kid in the playground. Definitely be cooler than you.
These Mini Rodini socks ($32) are sweet, special and the perfect stocking filler.
Yes, this Phile felt basket ($90) – perfect for toy storage – is more of a gift for parents. But if your child is under two and yet to discover Paw Patrol or princesses, you can definitely get away with it.
Older kids will love this cute Sundae Body Whip in “very berry”. (In fact all the Sundae products are fun.)
Got a budding cyclist on your hands? This balance bike ($199) from HipKids is a great start.
These Seed dress up shoes ($34.95) are the kind of thing our mothers would never have bought for us, but you know your child will love.
This Janod Fishing Game ($34.95) is stylish and fun and also not plastic, which makes it the perfect counterbalance to the other toys they will request this Christmas.
We love this sweet floral Sunnylife swim vest ($69.99).
Graphic artist Alice Oehr’s second children’s book is a delicious and delightful journey through the alphabet and the world. From apple pie to zeppole, and everything in between. Fruity fun for tiny readers, $24.99.
Another dreamy, pastel-popping meditation from visual artist Brentos. This time with a focus on Australia’s native wildlife, their conservation status and what we can do to protect them, $24.99.
