Lamenting the fact that your children seem to spend their entire Christmas glued to the PC? Bored with computer games that aspire to making you and your kids more physically active when the obvious solution seems to be “get outside and be active then!”?Most importantly, looking for gifts and toys that you will actually want to play too?After all, you are paying for them, so you may as well get your money’s worth too without the ignominy of having to display your appalling lack of co-ordination on the PC gaming console.
Given global warming, don’t bet on having a white Christmas this year.That means the garden is still available for minutes of crisp yuletide fun. One of the top boys toys this year (and we do mean boys of any age) must be Gnome Bowling. Frankly anyone with a beard and silly hat lurking at the bottom of your garden would ordinarily be shot, so standing in as bowling pins seems not too bad a fate. Possibly one the best garden-based Xmas gifts made, Gnome Bowling is about as much fun as you can have short of finding some real gnomes to bowl over. Simply rack up six nervous looking gnomes supplied and strike fear into their hearts with two lightweight balls.Who’s laughing now eh!
The best gifts for her often aren’t intended for her directly, but rather are designed to give your lovely lady more time and less stress by diverting the attention of those all consuming tyrants called small children.Now dinosaurs ruled the earth for millions of years, and whilst they are undeniably smaller, children seem to have a natural empathy with them as they too are more than capable of ruling your world and causing widespread devastation.
Unite these natural allies with a ride-on mini Triceratops.This interactive dinosaur uses some of the most advanced animatronic gadgetry in the industry which gives her a personality all of her own. If you talk to her she’ll roar back, pass her food and she’ll eat it, touch the side of her head and she’ll turn towards your touch. You can even sit your child on its back and listen to the baby dinosaur stamp her feet - it’s just a shame she’s too lazy to walk around the room because maybe if she did, she would have avoided that asteroid.
