Almost the end of September, and as the first Christmas adverts are already on the television, and as we are also being told to prepare early, I bring you my first Christmas gift guide. This one is dedicated to the little people in your life, whether they be sons and daughters, nieces and nephews, or the children of your friends.

Come this way and step into Christmas…

Waboba® MoonShine

If you loved the Waboba ball that could actually bounce on water, then you will love the Moonshine ball that is quite possibly the perfect stocking filler. The MoonShine is a crazy, gravity defying ball which turns a ball game into an out of this world free-for-all. This hyper bouncing ball makes a  unique “pop” sound when it hits the ground, bounces up to 100 feet and lights up for seven seconds when bounced. Over 100 hours of battery life will ensure a full moon every night!

RRP: £7.95

 Where is Everyone? Board Book

A gift of a book is always one to be savoured and enjoyed together. ‘Where is Everyone?’ is an absolute delight.

A toaster, a fridge, a sink, a bed, a car. Most kids can recognize  these and other things that are part of their everyday lives. Leave it  to celebrated illustrator Tom Schamp to imagine a different way of  seeing them. As kids pore over these brightly coloured and highly  detailed pictures, they’ll be delighted to discover a monkey on a  surfboard and an elephant in a bowler hat—all inhabiting the same  shapes they recognize in their homes.  

This is such a beautiful book, with beautiful illustrations and lots to explore. My nephew, who is two, just loves lift the flap books and this one is just perfect.

Where is Everyone is available at Amazon. Click here to view.
