Surprise them with handpicked gifts they will want (& love!).

Their world revolves around playing, activities and exploring and they are there for anything involving water, bubbles and make-believe. Water Blasters, Bubble Blasters and the Waterslide Marble Run tick all the boxes for fun play where everyone can get involved. Bring the fun and imagination inside with Connetix, Colouring Sets and let them paint their nails without worry, with the kid-friendly Scented Nail Polish.

The handpicked gifts you know they need.

They're in the in-between land of toddler and big kid so they are looking for ways to be more independent and let you know they are not so little anymore. What they love are things that are "theirs", their plate - favourite colour of course - their drink bottle - no sippy cup thanks! - and their hair brush, which is definitely not the one that inflicts pain!

The coolest pieces you know they'll wear.

Asserting their authority over what they willl (and won't) wear is likely underway, lucky their options are super cute, comfortable and in colours and prints that will go with every outfit, even when they refuse to wear anything but paint splattered day-care pants. Hello Poppet's Ribbed Pyjamas are a two-piece organic cotton set and the Sloane Jumper is so good we had to make it in adult-size.

Hats are such an important part of spending the day outside and Bedhead Hats have created a range of hats kids will leave on their heads! All hats come with a removable chin strap, and the range includes hats suitable for swimming and ponytails.

Gift the best books everyone will love to read - again & again.

Fostering the love of reading is one of the best gifts you can give, and you can never have too many books! Nothing beats a good storyline, strong characters and let's face it, poo, to make kids love to read. The books for this age start to get that bit longer, have a mesmerising plot and if you're lucky, more than one in the series so you don't have to keep reading the same book*!

*We cannot make any promises.
