Christmas gift guide for kids under £50

AD. Tis the season to be merry and bright, and what better way to spread festive joy than with this fantastic Christmas gift guide for kids? Here I’ve curated a sleigh load of festive goodies that are perfect for gift giving… And they’re all under £50! So without further ado, let’s dive straight in.

Christmas gift guide for kids

Clothing items

• Bullabaloo unicorn pyjamas - £25.00
• Bullabaloo leopard print pyjamas - £20.00

PJ's make a great gift for anyone at Christmas time, but even more so if they're in these wonderfully cute prints for the kids. There's a wide selection of prints available from Bullabaloo with designs ranging from unicorns to stars to leopard print. Jammies are made from sustainable bamboo which is not only great for the planet, but it's super kind on children's soft skin too. These jim-jams would make excellent sibling gifts, because the only thing cuter than a kid in their PJ's is multiple kids in matching PJ's.

• We Love Our Beach puffin hoodie - £26.00

Puffin... Puff out! How fun is this mauve puffin printed hoody from We Love Our Beach. For little explorers and beach lovers alike, We Love Our Beach is a fantastic brand to get involved in. Made by a certified organic company in the UK who have a carbon-neutral supply chain this hoody is not only practical, but it’s environmentally conscious too! This beach and marine inspired hoodie is especially poignant as puffins are on the IUCN Red List. With their breeding grounds being concentrated on a small number of sites, it makes them very vulnerable to changes in the environment. Look good, feel good and do good with We Love Our Beach who donate 10% of profits made to beach and marine conservation.

I currently have a 10% off discount code for We Love Our Beach which is CLAIRE10 (minimum purchase £19.00, ends 15th December).

Toys

• Play Shed puzzles space jigsaw puzzle - £15.00

Jigsaws make great Christmas gifts for children as they tick so many different developmental boxes. Handling the pieces is great for fine motor skills, placing the pieces tests hand eye coordination and the problem solving element stimulates their critical thinking skills. It's a win win! It's even more of a win when the jigsaws are beautifully illustrated. Play Shed Puzzles have a variety of bold and bright, visually stimulating designs available, such as this space themed puzzle here. Play Shed Puzzles are made here in the UK with vegan inks, chlorine free paper and recycled board. Not only are they brilliant for kids, they're brilliant for the planet too!

• We Love Our Beach beach play items - £3-£13

If you're buying for beach lovers (who isn't a beach lover), We Love Our Beach have some amazingly sustainable beach play items. I'm particularly fond of the scrunch bucket which is like nothing I've seen before. It's soft, foldable and perfect for creative care free play at the beach. Fill it with other beach equipment like we have here and it's the perfect gift for kids. We Love Our Beach have some fantastic beach and marine designed toys and clothing for kids. If you have a beach lover to buy for this brand should definitely be on your radar.

• Voltenick magnet building tiles - £18.99

Spark creativity with these Voltenick magnet tiles. This 42 piece set comprises of magnetic squares, triangles and windows all in a variety of bright inviting colours. This is a gift that children of a variety of ages can enjoy. My four year old enjoys playing with these just as much as my two year old does... As do i! They're great for brain development and improving fine motor skills. The only thing I'd advise is to buy the bigger pack! We've created some fabulous structures with the 42 pieces we have, but it's only spurred us on to want more.

Food & drink items

• PLAYin CHOC 6 piece Christmas gift set - £13.50

Let your little ones discover PLAYin CHOC's award winning chocolate. They're vegan, allergy free, plastic free, fully sustainable and not to mention... Delicious! Each chocolate box contains a small chocolate, a collectible 3D puzzle toy and a fascinating fun fact. These chocolates would not only make fabulous Christmas presents for children, they'd be brilliant as part of your festive table decor too! With a variety of different designs to choose from such as woodland animals, dinosaurs, endangered animals or sea animals you can really tailor each chocolate box to its desired recipient. I particularly enjoy the fact element to this Christmas gift set... After all, who really knew that Reindeers are actually native to Northern Europe, Siberia and North America... And not the North pole!

Books

• The new forest tales: Have you seen the new forest unicorn? By Carole Smith - £9.99

Have you seen the new forest unicorn is a charming fiction book written by Carole Smith. The chapter book follows the tale of horses Drummer, Merlin, Peewee, Riley, Juliet and Willow as they search the new forest for the unicorn. It's a fantastic book for pony lovers or for those that are into the magic of unicorns (like my eldest). The chapters are short and snappy making the book easy to get through and enjoy. You'll also enjoy illustrations from Alexandra Wilson in this tale, with many of the pages beautifully adorned with watercolour style prints. This book will be enjoyed by many I'm sure!

• The elephant in the room, by Ian James - £8.99

The elephant in the room is a light hearted read for young children. It follows a young boy called Henry who discovers that it's okay to show emotions, express worries and feel his feelings a little more. It's a brilliant read which tackles mental health problems in a way which is easy to read and discuss with our children. These sorts of books are brilliant for young minds and Ian James tackles the dilemma perfectly. The book is brilliantly illustrated by Lisa Williams with all pages presenting in a fun and inviting way. This is a great read for young people and would make a brilliant Christmas present.

• The Goodness Project dog bookmarks - £2.95

Calling all bookworms out there... Are these magnetic dog bookmarks not the cutest thing you've ever seen? This utterly adorable gift set would make a great stocking filler for book lovers and dog lovers alike!

Beauty items

• Dandydill Way eau de senteur - £48.00

If you're buying for any little women in your lives (I'm sure my four year old is reaching teenager status now) this child friendly perfume offering from Dandydill Way is a great way to make them feel all sassy and confident in themselves. This delicate version of Dandydill Ways signature scent contains a fabulous blend of fresh almond blossom, warm vanilla and gentle balsam. It's such a fresh but warming scent at the same time - It's beautiful. For younger children and babies it's advised to spray the perfume onto clothes rather than the skin. For older children or adults (I'd totally wear this perfume too) it can be used as a normal perfume on the skin against pulse points.

Baby items

• Bullabaloo sensory blanket - £15.00

If you're buying for teeny-tiny's this year a fantastic gift to give is muslins. I don't care what anybody says, you can never have enough muslin squares. They have 101 different uses, so even if mum's got 20 at home already, I'm sure she'll make use of more! But don't buy the boring ones, buy something bold, that stimulates the baby's senses. Elevate baby's cognitive development with these black and white plant print sensory muslins from Bullabaloo. This pack of three comes beautifully packaged meaning it's super easy to wrap and makes a lovely gift for a new baby.
