Halloween is over (where we showed you how to carve the perfect pumpkin) and Christmas is just around the corner, as the temperature rockets in department stores and the Christmas songs belt out full blast. Here at Freedom to Insure we want to show you what kids up and down the country are going to be asking from Santa this year. It’s becoming more apparent that technology is on the wishlist of most of the kids in Britain, but not every piece of kit needs to break the bank. With extensive research undertaken (we asked our kids!), we’ve listed the top 10 presents on their wishlist this Christmas.!
1. One of my personal favourites as a child and who wouldn’t love to jump on the ‘JCB Dump Truck Ride On’? This is perfect for 7 year olds who love the outdoors, physical activity and helping out in the garden. At just £64.99, you could give your child countless hours of outdoor fun with this one!
2. Does your child love Star Wars or Lego? If the answer is yes to both, the ‘Lego Star Wars Alarm Clock’ could make getting up for school that little bit more bearable. With a snooze button for those extra ‘zzz’s, £17.99 is a bargain for a less painful start to the morning.
3. Do you have a professional seamstress or tailor in the making, or a little someone who wants to learn how to sew? There’s no better gift for beginers than the £10.95 ‘Owl Sewing Kit’ for children over the age of 7. Equipped with stuffing, buttons, a needle and thread, who said learning can’t be fun?
4. Great for a little lad or lady who’s getting taller and taller by the day, have you ever wondered how you measure up to Elvis, Einstein or a baby giraffe? Probably not, but now you can find out anyway with the ‘Incredible Height Chart’. See how your children grow up for years and a great ‘keep sake’ for when you want to embarrass them on their 18th.
5. Last Christmas, Frozen took the cinema world by storm, leaving girls across the country wishing they were Princess Elsa. But, what’s next best? Having your own, Frozen Snow Glow Elsa that sings to you. Create your own piece of winter wonderland for just £34.99.
6. Apple are already trying to coax me into purchasing their latest ‘i’ products for my loved ones at Christmas. With hundreds of thousands of fun apps and 75,000 education apps, the new iPad Mini could be just want your kids want. With the latest iPad Mini 3 priced at £329, or the slightly older iPad Mini 2 for £239, it’s not quite a bargain, but it is an all in one entertainment and learning centre with a lot of potential for a few hours of quiet time for you parents!
7. Do you have a creative kid? If so, the chances are they’ve been howling at you to buy them some loom bands. For just a few pounds, bracelets, rings and and some incredibly interesting creations can be made. Available from most stores, or online, they make a fantastic stocking filler.
8. Smart watches have been making the headlines recently as Apple look to enter to the market. However, the ‘KidiZoom Smartwatch’ has proven a popular choice with children all over the world. Costing £39.99, the watch has 8 different modes, allowing alarms, voice recordings and even games with a fully functioning touchscreen. You don’t need to spend hundreds on a great product that’s sure to help your children get a grasp on how time works while having fun.
9. Recently snapped up by Microsoft, the Minecraft game is likely to be downloaded on at least one of your devices at home! If you think the kids will enjoy a ‘minecraft diamond sword’, a ‘Lego Minecraft Village’ or bringing their most popular character into reality, you should see what’s on offer here.
10. Most boys and girls aren’t the biggest fan of the dark but with nights drawing in, this ‘Moonlight Cushion’ could make a big difference to your children. Forget the conventional ‘night light’, this is much cooler. Packed full of low energy LED lights, a few batteries is all you need to add a bit of colour to a dark room.
So we hope we’ve helped give you parents, family members and carers some inspiration on what to get the kids this Christmas… let’s just hope they make it on to the right side of the list!
