In-line skates
Big Lego sets
Tickets for a big day out/ Merlin passes?

Ours are 6 and 8 (coming 9). The younger one has a big Lego City set and the older one is getting a stunt scooter. They are then sharing a HP Lego set.

Popular things for my 9 year old DD were Alexa dot, Fitbit, headphones/ear pods, scooter, mini digital printer to use with phone, make up, led lights for bedroom.
Difficult to think of a big present if they already have the devices etc already

Bean bags
Skylight projector
Instax/Polaroid camera
Gift cards (cinema etc)
Lego

What do they like?

We don’t have a “big present” for either of my DC. The things they are excited about adding to their Christmas list are all small things (Pokémon toys etc). They’ve had bikes etc before and not been that excited about them compared to whatever the latest small obsession is. So I wouldn’t feel the need to have a big thing, if they already have things you know they will love.

Can you just get them a decent amount of things that they like and appeal to their interests? My 6 year old daughter made a good list with nice "main present" feeling presents, but my 4 year old son was the opposite. I went through a period of panicking about finding him something "big" but instead have just got him quite a few little bits I know he will love. Can you do the same for your DC or do you have no ideas at all?

Are there no toys they want? Especially the 6 year old

  • Lego set
  • knex kit
  • marvel hereos set
  • remote control car
  • big art set
  • walkie talkies
  • microscope / telescope
  • football goals / basketball hoop
  • skateboard
  • Hornby train set

Alot could also be ideas for the 9 year old
