If you're looking for unique, smart, interesting gifts for kids...

[ladybee28]

I recommend it all the time to everyone who's looking for something out of the ordinary and intelligent for kiddos –it's US-based, so the links tend to take you to US sites, but you can usually find the gifts themselves in the UK too.

It's the The Kid Should See This Gift Guide , created by the makers of The Kid Should See This, which is also very cool.

Categories at the top, or you can just scroll and look at everything. Seems a little book-heavy right now, but it's often updated.

It's a tumblr, so you have to keep scrolling down and it sometimes takes a second to load, but it's also Freaking Awesome for inspiration or just a good browse.

I find myself linking to it all the blimmin' time, so I thought I'd stick it in its own thread and be done wiht it

Amazing, thank you!

@buntooti this might be the thread for you!

Thanks for this. Spent a happy hour looking right through it and found a couple of great things for my difficult-to-buy-for 13 yr old DS.

[Finlaggan]

What a great list thanks for posting.

I went through this with my DS11 and he has spotted a good 5-6 things that he would like for Christmas 😁

Oh thanks for posting this site. My 6 year old is into science stuff and this has loads of things for him. Just ordered him a book and will be getting more wee things for him that I know he will love. Great site.

And strikes me as lots of gifts that WE would like our kids to love (some of which they would, yes) but actually.... all rather earnest and educating!

Well, sure.... but if you want plastic tat and silly fun stuff, that's everywhere. Not hard to find.

This stuff, much less so.

Just me
But I didn’t get in with it at all!

I would like more filter options for a start!

[Carrie76]

Great link thanks. Looking now for birthday and Christmas presents for a soon to be 9 year old boy who is difficult to buy for!

[oobedobe]

[ZigZagToTheBeach]

Thank you so much for sharing! Off for a good scroll through 😁

[Oysterbabe]

Wow this is amazing. I've bought a few things for the kids and added loads more to the ideas list.
Thanks!

[Battenburg1978]

Thank you for this - great inspiration!

[Raindropsonrosesand]

Wow, thanks @ladybee28 That's an amazing gift guide!

@EwDavid it's one of the items in the categories list at the top...

Here, I've attached a screenshot. Red circled bit on the right.

@ladybee28

It's a lovely collection, right?

Really thoughtful, and so many things I've never seen anywhere else.

The 'Grown Ups' category has loads of stuff I'm eyeing for myself, too!

I'm being daft but how do you find the grown ups section?

[EwDavid]

Thanks so much for this, I've had such a lovely time looking through! My very hard to buy son who's ten in December will be sorted with much more thoughtful original gifts than I would otherwise have found!

[myshoelaces]

Brilliant thank you. I was struggling for ideas. Some of these books look interesting enough to read myself!

[ladybee28]

@Namechangeforthis88 your post has made me really happy –so glad to hear this is up your little guy's alley!
