MAKE THEM SMILE

The best Christmas gifts for any baby, kid or hard-to-please teenager on your list.

When it comes to gifting this holiday season, adults are generally easy. You can always rely on a scented candle or a quality bottle of wine and expect a smile. Kids, on the other hand, can be a little trickier. Unfortunately, a scented candle won’t quite cut the mustard with anyone under 30.

But fret not, we’ve got a clear line to Santa Claus and have compiled a list of sure hits for a variety of ages. From imaginative toys to their Christmas best, scroll on to discover the best gifts for kids this Christmas that are guaranteed to make them smile.

BEST FOR...INFANTS:

A special babygrow makes for a memorable gift. Not only will the shopping experience be an adorable one, but it’s a gift that’s practical too. Look to brands such as Tartine et Chocolat and Patachou for durable yet luxurious options. Or, if you’d prefer to gift something a little more playful, you really can’t go wrong with a cuddly toy.

BEST FOR...TODDLERS:

Finding gifts that toddlers will love more than the boxes they come in can be a challenge. Where toys are concerned, you’ll want to go for something that is both educational and entertaining. Take the Toniebox for example. The new audio system for children, simply turn it on, pop a ‘Tonie’ on and let the audio adventure begin. You can upload your MP3s, audiobooks and even narrate your own stories to ignite their imaginations. When it comes to clothes for toddlers, look out for durability and garments that allow the adventurous little one to move and play easily.

BEST FOR...PRE-TEENS:

Not little kids, but not quite teens either, pre-teens can be a difficult group to please. As they continue to grow and find themselves, their minds constantly change making it impossible to come up with a present that gets their stamp of approval... or at the very least, a heartfelt "thank you". That said, there are some fail-safe pre-teen gift ideas that are sure to go down a storm. Boardgames are a classic for good reason, Marvin's Magic Treasured Tricks introduces them to an unexplored world or help them to discover the stars and planets with Discovery Mindblown Telescope from FAO Schwartz. As for clothes, it’s best to stick with labels they already know and love such as Moncler and Marc Jacobs.
