Tips

How to choose the right gift

Four quick checks before you add to basket.

🎯 Check the recommended age

A game that's too easy gets boring; one that's too hard is frustrating. Each game's age range is shown on its photo.

👨‍👩‍👧 Think about who will play

For a child who loves a solo challenge, a balancing game works brilliantly. For the whole family, choose a turn-based game with simple rules.

🌳 Choose games that grow with the child

Wooden games last for years and can be passed on to siblings and cousins.

➕ Pair two small gifts

A Rainbow Tower and a Balance Spaceman together cost €21.80, a full gift for less than many single toys.

This Christmas, give time together

The best part of a game isn't opening the box. It's the Sunday afternoon when the whole family sits around the table and someone knocks the tower over. Less screen time, more imagination.
