Still not sorted for Christmas gifts? Don’t worry, I’m feeling ya!

The good news is, we’ve still got plenty of time (six weeks, give or take), to sort our Christmas shopping out and ensure the kiddies get a great collection of cool stuff this year.

To make the whole ‘Christmas shopping’ process a little easier, we’ve selected 10 of the best Christmas gift ideas for kids, all hand-picked by our Mum Central team.

Want to hear the best part? NONE of the Christmas toys or games on our list require batteries. Or make weird noises (except for the high-tech Laser X Blasters!).

AND… you can pick them all up from the same place – Gift Playground.  Actually, you don’t even have to pick them up. Simply order online and have the gifts delivered to your door. How easy is that?

Christmas shopping without the stress

Gift Playground stocks a whole heap of must-have toys, games and activity kits that are not only entertaining but also educational, making gift giving so much easier. You don’t have to deal with the mad Christmas rush, the crazy parking lots and the self-serve counters that tell you to “remove your item from the bagging area” (THERE IS NO ITEM IN MY BAGGING AREA!). It’s how shopping for kids should be – simple, straightforward and completely stress-free.

Whether you’re shopping for your own tribe or for a great gift idea for a niece, nephew or some other lucky kid, these 10 Christmas gifts are bound to bring out the smiles. And none of them will set you back more than $50! In fact, many of them cost much, much less!
