The 2026 Christmas Gift Guides are live! We tend to pick a book, a gift of clothing, one or two practical gifts – especially in stockings, something tasty- then a couple of toys or tech items. I buy a mix of second-hand and new – always factor in postage costs. My littlest is easier to buy for than my 15-year-old, who enjoys experience days and gift cards. Stick with their likes and interests so things don’t sit unused on shelves. This guide has ideas for parents with babies and toddlers right up to teens for inspiration. We tend to buy from brands and companies that have a good reputation so toys will last.
We have made it easy to see the retailer, price, postage info etc, followed by our own review as a customer in our product descriptions. (Always check websites’ last postage before Christmas dates.)
P.s Check if websites have discounts to sign up to mailing lists before you buy – every little helps and most offer between 10-20% off on first purchase.
Remember to buy batteries/have scissors and screwdrivers on hand on Christmas day to avoid toys being trapped in boxes and not working.

FUNNY SKIN SKINCARE PRODUCTS RRP FROM £6
BOSSFACE is a UK-based professional skincare brand specialising in results-focused, science-led cosmeceutical products. FUNNY SKIN was developed by BOSSFACE’s skincare specialist Ashley Wady, is a skincare range specifically developed for young, growing skin, for tweens and teens aged 8–16. As a mother of an 8-year-old, seeing how children are exposed to complex skincare routines and powerful active ingredients through social media, I really support that there is a safer, simpler option of products. FUNNY SKIN aims to make skincare fun and approachable while helping young people build healthy habits with gentle, age-appropriate products that focus on hydration, skin-barrier support and everyday protection. The brand combines playful product names and colourful packaging with skincare ingredients chosen to help cleanse, soothe and moisturise growing skin. Young skin is thinner and can be more sensitive than adult skin, making it particularly susceptible to dryness, irritation and disruption of the skin barrier. Every formula is hypoallergenic and made without alcohol, artificial colours, parabens, soap-based ingredients, hormones or fragrance.
Rather than encouraging complicated, multi-step routines the eight-product collection is divided into four everyday essentials and four optional additions. The core routine includes a face wash, serum, moisturiser and SPF50, while the optional products comprise micellar water, toner and two face masks. The range has been created to make skincare feel fun and approachable, helping children establish positive hygiene and sun protection habits without creating pressure to follow adult beauty trends. On each product page, the website has a How To Use and Ingredients list, which is very helpful. On the product boxes, which are well designed in block colours, there is an age guide, directions for use, shelf life, ingredients, benefits and routine order list – I am impressed with how informative and well considered the packaging is.
FUNNY FOAM (£20.00) is an ultra-gentle, pH-balanced foam cleanser that has a rich lather, in a useful pump-action bottle. It is hypoallergenic, soothing with amino acids and for daily use. SUPER BOUNCE SILKY SOOTHING SERUM (£25.00) in a dropper bottle is lightweight, designed to calm and protect sensitive skin. Powered by a triple hydration complex of squalane, panthenol, and tremella extract, it soothes irritation, reduces redness, and moisturises. Pump bottle PROTECT AND PLAY SPF50 (£27.00) offers 12 +hours of sun protection from UVA and UVB rays. Non-greasy, it’s enriched with plant extracts like eucalyptus, white lotus flower, centella asiatica, and houttuynia cordata to nourish and care for sensitive skin. WHIP & GLOSS DAILY REPAIR MOISTURISER (£25.00) creamy with a whipped texture, formulated with squalane and shea butter for deep moisture, trehalose to strengthen the skin barrier, and bisabolol to soothe irritation. The FUNNY SKIN BIO BABE HYDRATE MASK is a next-generation bio-collagen hydrogel sheet mask (RRP £6) Alcohol- and fragrance-free, its light on the skin with no signs of sensitivity. There is also a Bio Babe Bright – Lightening & Brightening Bio Collagen Absorption Mask. Funny Skin headband available in 4 colours (£5.00) Soft, stretchy, washable adjustable branded headband. It is a product line that feels high quality and well developed. With its thoughtfully formulated everyday essentials and colourful, informative packaging, FUNNY SKIN makes a lovely gift for tweens and teens, encouraging them to care for their skin, build healthy habits and enjoy a simple skincare routine designed with their age and needs in mind.
