Our daughter is 7 years old, and her wishlist for Christmas is quite modest this year! Alongside the request for Nintendo Switch game, for the whole family to play together, she would also love an Apple pencil (a dupe one will be sufficient I'm sure).
I’ve got a few ideas here, ideal if you’re buying for a 7-year-old, or perhaps even a slightly younger child who is advanced for their age! Be sure to check out my Christmas gift guide for 3 year olds, and for must have gifts for adults or foodies while you're here if they're relevant.
This stunning scooter, in a striking blue colour, is designed for smooth and fast rides with added comfort thanks to large shock-absorbing wheels. The handlebar is adjustable so it will grow with your little one making it perfect for longer-term use. It comes with a kickstand and grippy deck too making it nice and stable even when stationary.
As there are a range of sizes in the Micro Children’s Deluxe Helmet range I was able to get helmets for my 3 and 8 year olds from the same range. The Navy Star print is really nice, perfect for older children, and this comes with the same easy fit features as the helmet above but in a more grown up design.
We love kids scooters as they make the morning school run faster and are great fun for our little ones too.
Grinch fans, and Christmas fans, will absolutely love the Grinchmas Afternoon Tea Bus Tour from Brigit’s Bakery.

This inspired by Bambi Disney fashion doll comes with two outsides, including shoes and a purse, to mix and match to create different looks. This comes with a sweet Bambi printed sweatshirt, a patchwork print skirt and the looks are adorable. You also get a Collectible Mickey Mouse dark pink glitter ring that your little one can wear.
If you want to add a little shimmer to your artwork you’ll love these *Metallic Fibre-Tip pens from Stabilo. They work great on paper of all different colours, including black, and come in a range of gorgeous metallic colours with high-quality and long lasting ink.
Fans of a more aesthetically pleasing colouring session will love the *Swing Cool highlighters from Stabilo. They come in a range of pretty pastel colours and are perfect for fans of bullet journalling or even just those of us who like to write a fancy to-do list.
We’ve got 3 and 8 year olds, so they have different tastes, which is why we’ve picked up this L.O.L Surprise personalised wrapping paper for our eldest daughter. I love personalised wrapping paper to show off their gifts from Santa specifically.
We only provide 1 or 2 gifts from Santa every year and so we love to wrap those in different paper and put them in a gift bag too. These LOL Surprise Bags are great fun, sturdy, strong and great to help you store your gifts ready for the big day.
If you’ve got a craft fan they will absolutely love the craft range from Craft Buddy Shop. The Spiderman Paint by Numbers kit is fun, and is a lovely keepsake too. Superhero fans will love the crystal art buddies and the Batman backpack charm kit is a great fun way to decorate school bags too.
