With Christmas just around the corner, you may be panicking a little on what gifts to buy for your loved ones. If you have children in your family that you want to buy for, it can be difficult to know what kind of things they are into, especially if you’re not in regular contact with them. Luckily, here’s a compiled list of gifts that are on many children’s lists every year for you to choose from and hopefully you can find the perfect gift for them.

Children are generally easily pleased, especially if they are given a gift that’s their favourite colour. It’s no secret that many young girls (and women) across the globe love pink. So, going for something pink is sure to be a winner.

Every girl (and some boys too) loves to play with dolls and pretend to be like their parents, so why not buy them something doll related to add to their collection? If they’ve already got dolls, then why not consider buying them doll houses so that they can extend their imaginative play?

Girls love nothing more than to dress up like their Mummy, so consider getting some dressing up clothing and accessories for them this Christmas. You can buy cheap bangles and hats from many stores on the highstreet, so keep your eyes peeled!

There comes a point in every young girl’s life where they experiment with their Mum’s makeup. Why not save the sanity of their Mum and buy them some children’s make up so that they can practice being like Mummy? Remember to check with their parents first in case they would rather their child not have makeup.

Boys love the idea of being in control of a car, and there’s no better feeling than whooshing around a toy car pretending to be in the driver’s seat. If you’ve got any boys to buy for this year, then consider getting them something car related so that they can pretend to be their favourite racing driver. If they have gaming consoles, there are steering wheel accessories that you can buy so that they will really feel like they are driving a car!

It’s no lie that boys love destruction. Anything they can smash or break gives them an incredible thrill. There are many toys that can (safely) replicate destruction like nerf guns and knocking over blocks. Be sure to check with the parents first though!

While girls love sports too, boys are often very into football and many other sports too. Find out from their parents what kind of sport they are into or what team and buy them a kit for their favourite team or a new football for them to kick around.

While there are many more gifts that could be bought for children, hopefully these ideas will have at least given you some inspiration on what to get for the children in your family. Remember, if ever in doubt to ask their parents what kind of gift to buy for them!
