We have started to think about what to buy people this Christmas and I must admit it’s so easy to get stuck on certain people who either have one of everything or are so busy running around that you have no idea what they could possibly like.
I am over the moon to be able to bring to you a great site which has those quirky unusual gifts that really do make you grin and light up.
Wicked Uncle has gifts for babies right through to adults so I was spoilt for choice when I went on to choose something for my brood at home. The thing was which gifts to buy for whom as I know that both of my boys love things which are a bit unusual.
My eldest is really into his music and videos now so the portable bluetooth speaker with dancing water jets is ideal. When the music starts, the lights and water move in time with the beat. Such a great idea, he’s going to love it.
Jokes too?
It’s not just great gifts, they even have a joke factory on there which has given me some cool mum points when I said them to the boys when they got home! These are great for putting in home-made crackers too. You can choose the age range which is from 3 – 13+, matching their age range for toys. What better way to end the festive day after polishing off the mammoth christmas roast than with some jokes around the table!
To give you a little sample, here are a couple of my favourites ….
Q. What do you call a girl who stands inside goalposts and stops the ball rolling away?
A. Annette.
And my all time winner…
Q. Why did the banana go to the doctor?
A. Because it wasn’t peeling well.
For my youngest I had to really think about getting him something that was cool, had a function and that would suit his quirky personality. He loves reading his football programmes in bed which he gets from going to every home game throughout the season. He can spend hours going back and forth checking on what the players have been doing. So for him The Anywhere Light – Strike a Pose! will be perfect to play with and also give him the light to read by.
To top it off, I treated myself to Hopping Popping Frogs. I might just share these….we’ll see.
How are you getting along with your Christmas shopping so far?
Are you a list person or even a spread sheet buff when it comes to being organised? I have friends who live by their spreadsheets, while I have my ever faithful journal to help me along.
Let me know how you are doing and what you think of Wicked Uncle.
Whatever stage you are at, enjoy and don’t over think it, keep it fun.
