Remember those years back when kids used to ask for iPads and smartphones? The days are long gone, and kids in the UK are demanding completely different things for Christmas. If you desire to get the very best for your child, you might want to go through the letters they have written to Santa and Father Christmas and fetch ideas from there.
If you are running around looking for something to shop for them as the perfect Christmas Day gift, this post will be more helpful. Take a minute or two and list what you feel your kids will want more and get it. Do not wait for the kids to complain to their teachers or schoolmates next year that you didn’t buy them what they wanted or how you bought them an iPad yet they wanted an iPod.
- Traditional Toys
Among the list, toppers are traditional toys including scooters and Lego. The Lego toys are the famous coloured construction bricks that have made a strong point that they aren’t running out of fashion. Since they were introduced by The Lego Group around 1949, the bricks have been topping the list of the top Christmas gifts kids want for quite a while.
- Lego Harry Potter Hogwarts Express and Harry Potter Colouring Books
For this year, the Harry Potter Lego is hitting the wish lists harder than ever before. They are highly suitable and preferred by kids between ages eight and 14, and they not only transport the kids to the magic of Christmas but also the magic of Potterdom. Several ranges have been hard to get a hold at for a long while but not now.
The current experience is of an improved supply as well as an influx of new ranges. Since the Lego Harry Potter Hogwarts Express are highly coveted by kids, there will be a huge demand for the same.
The Harry Potter colouring books, on their side, keep the kids entertained, lively, quiet, yet active. With four different books to choose from, even older kids can immerse themselves in the world of Hogwarts and end up with stunning pieces, for example, when travelling.
- Fingerlings Untamed Dinos and Zoomer Dinos

However, there are also emerging whisperings on the retail scenes that there might be T-Rex releases just in time for Christmas.
