With the cost of living rising and most households needing to cut back this year, buying footwear for Christmas is a must, especially when little feet grow so quickly! There are some awesome styles out there at the moment which will guarantee an amazing reaction on Christmas morning.

Who wouldn't jump for joy if they opened up these FABULOUS silver glitter Converse trainers? Not only do they look beautiful but they can be worn with everything so you know you're going to get your money's worth.

Or how about investing in a pair of Dr Martens - guaranteed to keep little ones feet as snug as a bug and built to last so you can sell them on once you're finished with them.

We couldn't forget to mention; schuh have a '1 Year to Return' offer, perfect for those of you struggling to get the right size for rapidly growing feet. Find out more here.

Activites & Games from The Works

We know that there's a lot of tech out there for kids but nothing will ever beat the fun of a board game or the satisfaction of creating a work of art.

For little ones, we love "Where's My Bottom". A fun game of matching cards, that will make you laugh and is easy enough for children to play without an adult. At just £7 it's a fantastic gift option for pre schoolers.

Now we know that unicorns are still a big deal so how about a unicorn version of the popular game Operation? Another £7 bargain and even better as it's included in the 3 for £15 offer at The Works.

If you're buying for someone who loves art then this HUGE 75 piece stationery set is perfect! With over 800 5 * reviews you know you can't go wrong.

And if you LOVE a good family games night, we would highly recommend the game "Fill Your Pants". Two teams compete to fill a pair of pants with objects from around the home. Trust us when we say that it is hilarious.

Hooded Blankets

Probably the most in demand item of clothing in 2022 - kids absolutely LOVE hooded blankets. Here are Bump HQ we all agreed that our kids wear theirs at every opportunity. And to be honest it's good news for us as it means fewer complaints of being cold allowing us to keep that thermostat turned down low.

We loved these designs available in Debenhams. Oversized with a sherpa fleece lining, you're going to wish you got one for yourself.

Dressing Up Costumes

Dressing up costumes are always a good idea for younger children. Whether it's a Disney Princess, a Marvel Superhero, a Harry Potter character or an emergency services costume. You will never run out of ideas for costumes. One of our favourite places to buy fancy dress costumes has to be shopDisney. The attention to detail in their costumes is exquisite as is the quality meaning that they can be passed on to younger siblings, cousins, friends over and over again.

We're absolutely in love with this fabulous Minnie Mouse costume - those gloves are just too cute!

And how amazing is this disability-inclusive Buzz Lightyear wheelchair cover set? Such a fantastic idea. Even better that it's also available in Cinderella and Star Wars designs. We can't wait to see what other designs they bring out in the future.

Ride-Ons

If you're looking for the WOW factor then you can't beat a ride on for little ones. One of the most recognisable children's ride on is the Little Tikes Cosy Coupe. Sturdy, durable and easy to manoeuvre we can understand why the Cosy Coupe has over 10,000 5* reviews on Amazon.

If you have the space then the Thomas & Friends train and track is the ultimate "big present". The train itself is battery operated and comes with an easy to connect 22 piece track which can be laid out in two different ways. Imagine their face when they wake up to this!

There are so many fabulous gift ideas out there for little ones from hilarious board games to dazzling dressing up costumes. The choice can be overwhelming but the key is to start simple. Make a list and stick to it as much as possible. Be sure to take advantage of special offers and if you have a budget don't be tempted to go over it.

And finally, be kind to yourself. Buying for kids - especially if you have more than one is exhausting so give yourself plenty of time.

Happy shopping!
