I love buying gifts for all those I love, I try to put as much thought and effort into each gift I pick out. Children, especially young ones are great to buy for. There is so much to chose from books, toys, games, etc. I am a big toy fan and the toys these days are fab. OK I still love the retro ones from my day, but come-on who wouldn’t love what they have these days when you were little. Here is my round up of gifts I’ve purchase for my own boys, had to review or just seen and thought they’d make great gifts, that I thought I’d pass on to your to give you some ideas.
I am a HUGE fan of Lottie Dolls and have several, as well as the ones that Aria and the boys play with. I love what they stand for; Be Bold Be Brave Be You. What a motto And the role models are inspiring. My oldest Lucas has always loved playing with dolls, so I was delighted when Lottie brought out their very own boy doll in the range. Have you met Kite Flyer Finn? He’s a proper boy doll that boys can relate to, he does things that boys and girls would do like kite flying and fishing. He looks like a boy, not a girl doll with short hair and his cloths are ones that boys would wear. He come with accessories and you can purchase additional outfits and accessories for him. He’s a great toy for both both and girls and I cannot recommend Lottie dolls enough as gifts this Christmas and onwards.



As I mentioned above with the boys being inquisitive, my oldest is into science. Lucas is going to be 8 on Christmas eve and he’s been doing science at school so I thought a science kit would make a great gift for him. This is a great kit which contains everything they need to perform 12 science experiments. Included in the kit is goggles, ph paper, cups, lids, test tubes, balloons, spatula, baking soda and pipettes. It’s for ages 8 plus and at £17.99 I think it’s good value for money. It’s an excellent kit for a beginner with a 36 page booklet explaining everything. This is another purchase from Science 4 You Toys. Do check out their range of educational gifts.

If you have a son who loves to build like mine do, why not get them some Nano Blocks? Nanoblocks are fab, they are little tinyblocks which create 3D structures like the Arc de Triomphe which we built or the Empire State Building. There are so many to chose from, you won’t know which one to chose. There are simple to build and come with an instruction booklet. It takes patience and time, but the end result is worth it. My oldest who is almost 8 and I did this together and we had a lot of fun. I don’t think he’d have the patience to do it himself yet, but it was a fun family activity. I am going to get another of these perhaps the titanic next. Love these.
I really could go on and on, but I will leave it here for now. Is there anything else you’d like to add to this list that other readers might love to buy for their little boys? Or that I should get for my two?
