From parents who long to give their kids gifts that keep them entertained for longer than a month, or a family friend who doesn't want to buy something ill-suited, trying to pick the perfect present can often feel like an impossible task.
In order to save you time and effort, we've created a list of all the presents we'd love to give the children in our lives this Christmas - presents that will let their imaginations run wild and will last them for years.
We've split our picks up into two lists - one for our US readers and another for those in the UK - simply click on the links below to jump to the list that's relevant to you or scroll down to take a look at everything on offer.
But hurry - if you want to guarantee you get something before it sells out, we're recommend buying now to avoid disappointment.
Happy shopping!
