Take a look at five of our recommendations below, or take a look at the full Gifts for Kids range!
5. PowerUp 3.0 App Controlled Paper Airplane for iOS and Android
This app-controlled paper airplane is pretty brilliant. Make your paper plane as normal with the paper provided, then insert the rechargeable motor and rudder as shown above. Connect to the plane with the free app, and you’re able to launch the plane and steer it just by moving your phone. Whether your kids are paper plane pros or this is their first introduction, the PowerUp 3.0 is sure to be a blast.
4. Robot Head Power Bank Portable Charger 10,050mAh
Kids these days have loads of gadgets to keep charged like anyone else. With this cute portable charger, based on a Japanese cardboard robot called Danboard, they can keep their phones, tablets and games topped up no matter where they are — perfect for extended Christmas play sessions.
3. Olixar Bluetooth Wireless Woolly Hat
This warm and snug woolly hat has been upgraded with Bluetooth technology and an integrated speaker system, letting kids listen to music while keeping their noggins toasty. There are no wires to bend or break, and connection is easy to Android, iPhone and more.
2. Sphero Star Wars BB-8 Smartphone Controlled Robotic Ball
This is the droid you’ve been looking for! This is a real working BB-8 robot, complete with the exact same movement your kids loved in The Force Awakens. Control BB-8 from a smartphone or tablet, or let him do his own thing as he glides autonomously around your home and responds to your voice. Tons of fun.
1. BuzzBee Nano Drone – The World’s Smallest Quadcopter
The BuzzBee is the world’s smallest quadcopter, fitting easily inside a child’s palm at just 30mm across. That makes it safe to fly indoors without risk of injury or accident, and it’s a great introduction to drone flying for a younger audience. Despite its small size, you can perform some pretty cool tricks with it once you’ve practised a bit, including 360 degree eversions. You could even pick up a couple of the drones and have mock dogfights — loads of fun.
