Christmas Gift Guide: Top 10 Kids Gifts

Christmas shopping can stress us all out at the best of times. As you may have already noticed, we've already brought you some fab gift guides to help you out this festive season and make life a little easier! (Check out the others here!)

Now, let's look at kids. There are thousands of kids toys out there - too many to choose from. So check out Gaj-It's Top 10 Christmas gifts for kids this year.

Playskool Kota Triceratop

Keep toddlers amused this festive season with Kota the Triceratop. Sit them on his back and he'll play realistic stomping sounds or one of his 4 adventure theme tunes. He stands just over 75cm tall. Kota interacts and responds to you talking to him by roaring, moving his head, eyes, mouth and tail in response. He'll sniff at your hand if you touch his nose and will laugh when you tickle his stomach. (Now I'm having a hard time imagining a dinosaur laughing, but play along!) He comes with a leaf for food and plays munching sounds when you 'feed him'.

  • The Kidizoom Digital Camera is a pretty great idea. What better way to keep the kids quiet these holidays than by getting them to do an art project?

    We’ve got one of the Scalextric Top Gear sets and it’s great fun. The kids love it, especially the cross over bit. We got some more cars for the set too from Scalextric Car Restorations, link below.

    Now it’s even more fun with some Mini Coopers too.
