Christmas time is near and it’s the time of year when those buying for children may start to panic and not know what to buy. I have once again joined forces with some wonderful brands and have put together this Gift Guide for Children and New Parents, so you can find some gift ideas that will take the stress out of present giving for kids and those who have recently become parents.
Instant Pocket Printer
This Instant Pocket Printer is so cute, I almost didn’t want to gift it to my niece as I wanted to hold onto it myself. You can easily create and edit your photos on your smartphone before printing your creations out on the go! I love that the set comes with enough printing paper for 250 pictures and it doesn’t use ink so there are no huge costs to keep up with! Such a fun gift idea and great for creative kids!
Board Game Bag
I love the concept of fun games for families in a canvas bag and this is what you get with the paper bags Board Game Bag, which has inside a selection of popular games including chess and draughts, which can be played on the go, great for families who travel a lot!
Bluey Bath Toy
For fans of popular TV show Bluey will love this Bluey’s Family Adventure Bath Set. The bath toy includes Bingo Pourer, making it a seriously fun toy for young children at bath time!
Next2Me Magic Eco Bedside Crib
For new parents, the Chicco Next2Me Magic Eco Bedside Crib would be the perfect gift. It is designed to go right next to your own bed, meaning you are close by baby throughout the night and even has a function to help rock baby gently as a standalone crib. It includes a mattress and can be positioned at different height levels to suit your bed design. It is also able to be transported in the travel bag, making trips with baby easy.
Cot Projector
If you are buying for new parents, this Next 2 Stars Cot Projector is a cute present idea. It is designed specifically to attach to the Next2Me Crib and helps babies drift to sleep with soothing melodies and calming projections with coloured star lights. It even comes with a cute plush toy.
All-in-one Baby Trousers
If you are buying for a baby who likes to kick their little socks off and is prone to losing them, these adorable Sockatoos which are all-in-one baby trousers may just be the solution! I love that they come in a range of designs (choose from jeans, joggers and cords) in different colours too, these red cords are gorgeous and very festive for the Christmas season.
Doodle My Shoe
If your child loves to draw and design, these Doodle My Shoe canvas sneakers would be a lovely unique gift idea for them! They can really unleash their creativity using the included fabric pens. They are washable, so you can design a new pair again and again (just wash them in your washing machine at 40 degrees).
2025 Calendar Gift Set
For young fans of Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas, this Collector’s Gift Set, which includes a 2025 calendar, A5 diary and pen, would be the perfect gift! I love the design and it comes in a really lovely gift packaging, which makes it a fantastic present idea.
Peter Rabbit Game
Peter Rabbit lovers, this one is for you! Don’t Wake Mr McGregor is a race to collect your vegetables without waking the grumpy Mr McGregor – fast paced family fun, just in time for Christmas gatherings!
Books
Ghosting Academy and Bright Midnights are lovely books for young fiction fans. The books are part of the Limerent Series by L.S Delorme and they focus on different ways of looking at the world and love for young adult readers.

The Yoto Player is amazing for children who love to listen to music and audio books. It is screen free, so perfect for anybody also looking to avoid too much screen time, and comes with a vast selection of cards that can be used with the player. There are options to suit all budgets, and you can add more cards to your collection as you go along, so it really is a wonderful gift idea for Christmas!

New parents are sure to appreciate a gift card this Christmas and what better than a Prezzee gift card, which your recipient can use to choose a gift card from a retailer of their choice, making it perfect if you aren’t sure what they may want or need right now! There are a huge range to choose from including restaurants and clothes shops as well as experience gift outlets.

The Pati School crafting set is great for kids who love to craft! The set allows kids to create treat-inspired decorative crafts using beads and rhinestones. The set comes with 2 pastes and 6 different treat-inspired craft bases.

There are so many bath time gift ideas to choose from on the ubbi website, I was spoilt for choice. These Lighthouse stacking cups look like so much fun for babies and toddlers at bath time and the Bath Gift Set is stuffed full of loads of fun toys to keep them entertained in the bath!

We love What Do You Meme so it’s great to see this Family Edition, allowing us to play with our kids as well! It’s the same fun format as the original, just with the R-rated content removed!
Emotional Support Fries
Cute and fun, these Emotional Support Fries are a great addition to a collection, or as a standalone gift for a tween who loves novelty soft toys. To be fair, I was tempted to steal these for myself…

How adorable is this Minions mug? MINISO have a brilliant selection of gifts suitable for children. The perfect size for a warming hot chocolate at this time of year, I am sure this mug would be loved by any Despicable Me fan!
