Karena's Top Toys for Christmas!

By Karena

With so many Toys to choose from (we have over 50,000!) I can understand how hard it can be selecting the right gift, so I'd share a few of my personal favourites to give you some ideas that can't go wrong!

1. Kinetic Sand is one of my favourite products, it moves like a fluid but can also be moulded into shapes. Being such a tactile product is great for allowing kids to work with their fine motor skills.

I've also found that this is a very good alternate to a stress ball – very therapeutic and calming! (I keep a bowl of it on my desk!)

The coloured ones are really fun and bright and some come with accessories eg. moulds which makes it even more fun to play with!

2. Another top brand right now is Paw Patrol.

These Toys are based off the hit TV show – where there are a group of hero pups lead by a boy named Ryder that go out on rescue missions and save the day! The top picks from this range would be the Lookout Playset and the new Paw Patroller – otherwise there are heaps of other options including action figures & bath Toys!

3. There are some really cool Toys within the Little Tikes range. My favourites are the Pirate Ship Table, Cozy Coupe, & Tough Workshop!

There are some other great options that are a bit more affordable eg. Ball Drop N Roll, Bath Sub Shop & Splish Splash Sink & Stove. Little Tikes is a brand you can't really go wrong with – very durable, high quality – and have been a household name for 40+ years!

I don't know about you but remember playing with the Cozy Coupe when I was young!

4. A great stocking stuffer would be Bunch O' Balloons. These have taken off!

These are a 1 time use attachment for your tap that will fill 100 water balloons in 60 seconds – when the balloons are full they just fall off and seal themselves. So clever!

Water balloon fights have just become much more awesome (not that they aren't already) and super efficient!

Take it from me – these little guys are going to change the face of water balloon warfare!

5. Shopkins are a really cute collectible range. The top playset from this range would be the Ice Cream Truck. Check out the cool Fashion sets and the 12 pack as they are also great options!

6. Disney is another good one because c'mon… who doesn't love princesses and Toy Story and Mickey Mouse & all other awesome characters that belong to the world of Disney?!

The favourite at the moment is the Sing Along with Elsa Doll – which you can sing the famous “Let It Go” song on your own or with Elsa herself! This is actually really neat as she will pick up where you left off so if you pass it back and fourth you and her can create the perfect duet!

7. I can't get enough Sylvanian Families!

This is a super cute range of fuzzy little animal Dolls along with houses, furniture & more to create a sweet little community of your own :) One of the latest additions is the Field View Mill which is just so awesome!

Sylvanian Families is one of those great ranges that you can add to and gift with each occasion!

8. Nerf Wars are a must for Christmas I would say – so much fun (and not just for the kids! :P)

The blasters that stand out to me this year are the Zombie Strike Doominator, the Star Wars Chewbacca Bowcaster, Modulus and Rebelle Arrow Revolution Bow.

9. As you might have guessed Star Wars is a very popular pick this year. There are hundreds of Star Wars Toys to choose from so definitely something for all ages & budgets!

It is very hard to pick a favourite but the ones that stand out are Remote Control BB-8 Droid, Furbacca – Chewbacca Furby, Battle Action Millennium Falcon Vehicle Set and the super awesome Legendary Jedi Master Yoda. Check out the full range for more! We have heaps of Action Figures, plush, Craft, Dress Up & more :)

10. There are some really neat Pool Inflatables that have become a bit of an instagram sensation (especially as celebrities have the same ones!). Top ones are Donut, Flamingo, Swan & Pizza Slice

11. Board Games are a great option for teens, adults or as a family gift! Top games are Catan, Munchkin, Ticket To Ride, Dixit, Small World, Smash Up Cards Against Humanity & more! There are over 1,000 board games to choose from – so to find the right game for you or your gift receiver swing by the board game page where you can browse by age, type of game, type of game play, top suggestions & more! It is all very handy to help find the right game for you! :)

Hope this helps making Christmas shopping a bit easier & Merry Christmas!
