I am so excited to be talking about all things Christmas again! It's definitely my favourite time of year, and I feel it's especially important to have something to celebrate with everything that has happened this year. This third and final gift guide is full of stocking filler ideas for children (or even for the grown ups who are young at heart). I hope it gives you some inspiration this holiday season.

Sketchy
I'm sure like many others, our children have been playing The Floor is Lava with sofa cushions for a long time now. But introducing the game to save your furniture! The box contains everything you need to turn any floor into a play space for the game, including challenge cards to make the game even more difficult. Aimed at children aged 5+, the game retails at £15.
Stomp Rocket Junior Glow
A perfect gift for little ones with bundles of energy, the Stomp Rocket Junior Glow will provide hours on entertainment and fun. It is lightweight and easily portable, so easy to use out and about (or simply in the garden if you are lucky to have enough space). The rocket kit comes with 4 foam rockets that can soar up to 100ft into the air if the stomper creates a big enough jump, and the extra special part of this design is that the rockets glow in the dark too! Suitable for ages 3+, this kit retails at £12.99.
Techy Gifts from Buzz Toys
If your child is into his tech, then this selection of gifts from Buzz Toys will be perfect for them this Christmas. The Air Ball is a floating football that can be played on most surfaces (wooden floor, laminate, marble and even thin carpet). A great way of playing football indoors in a safe way, without any damage to the house - especially perfect now the weather has changed! The Wall Racer is a gravity defying car that can be driven up the walls and even onto the ceiling with just a flick of a switch. Aimed at children aged 8+, the car charges directly from the remote and can provide hours of fun. A perfect gift for gadget-mad boys would be a mini drones. Buzz Toys has both the Micro Jet and the Thunder Glow - the Micro Jet is a small size plane that can fly vertically at 3 different speeds, and the Thunder Glow is a medium sized drone with LED lights all around it.

The base is a play tray to help contain mess - a fantastic idea I think! Aimed at children aged 6+, the Tool Kit retails at £19.99.
Personalised Book from It's Your Story
There is something extra special about personalised book. We have a few with our children's names in them, but what I love about this one from It's Your Story is that it includes your child's face too! The story is lovely too, full of engaging words and bright colours, and of course your child's face on every page. It's Your Story have a fantastic range of personalised books and stories, including ones that are Christmas themed.

The set comes beautifully presented in a red tin that would make a great keepsake after Christmas too. The kit is available to order now from the website and retails at £27.95.
You may recognise this furry little character if you're aware of Wrendale illustrations. This year they have released 4 plush characters based on their most popular designs - Mable the Hedgehog, Webster the Duck, Autumn the Fox, and pictured above is Rowan the Hare. Each character comes beautiful presented in their own canvas bag featuring their illustrations, as well as a gift tag telling you more about them.
