The BG Christmas Gift Guide 2025: Age 10+
To finish the age group guides we have tweens and teens – I have to do a lot of buying for this age group with a 16-year-old son, 13-year-old daughter, two teenage nieces, a teen nephew and a tween niece. Vouchers are a good option as they love to choose for themselves, but if you […]
The BG Christmas Gift Guide 2025: Age 6 to 9
Lots of things to make and do in this guide – art, science and music are great ways to make sure your six to nine year olds are expanding their bendy brains – while active toys will help to burn off all that excess energy. Discover more pressie ideas in my other Christmas guides, including […]
The BG Christmas Gift Guide 2025: Preschool and Reception
Still my favourite guide to compile, due to the gorgeous wooden role play toys around these days (check out the modular dolls’ house and beautiful tea set). Two to five year olds love to use their imaginations, so dress up and small world toys are guaranteed to be a hit, plus it’s a good time […]
The BG Christmas Gift Guide 2025: Babies & Toddlers
As always, my first age-related gift guide is for the little ones – there are so many gorgeous baby bits out there at the moment it was hard to narrow it down, but here are 20 ideas, from the practical (muslin) to the pretty (reindeer doudou) via stackers, bath toys, walkers and playmats, with something […]
The BG Christmas Gift Guide 2025: Pyjamas
Even though Alfie and Kitty are 16 and 13 now, we still do Christmas Eve boxes containing new PJs, a book and a hot chocolate spoon or bomb. Because, let’s face it, there’s little nicer than waking up on Christmas morning in brand new PJs and, as a bonus, those pressie-opening photos will look great. […]
The BG Christmas Gift Guide 2025: Advent Calendars
It’s been a very quiet year over on BG, but I couldn’t resist another round of gift guides, so here’s the first of my round-ups – preparing for the countdown to the countdown to the big day. As always, I’ve tried to include something for every interest and budget. Keep up to date with my […]

The BG Christmas Gift Guide 2024: Age 10+
Ah, those tricky tweens and teens – my area of expertise as I have one of each, plus two teenage nieces and a tween nephew. Vouchers and cash will always be a hit with this age group, but focusing on their particular interests is always a good idea – think baking bits for budding chefs, […]
The BG Christmas Gift Guide 2024: Age 6 to 9
Children’s brains are really malleable between the ages of six to nine, so mind-expanding gifts, such as science experiments or craft kits usually hit the mark. Plus, of course, the ubiquitous scooter and small world play and construction are great for keeping them away from screens. Discover more pressie ideas in my other Christmas guides, […]
The BG Christmas Gift Guide 2024: Preschool & Reception
This is probably my favourite guide to compile. I really enjoy looking through the huge range of beautiful wooden role play toys on the market – there really is everything out there now, but I love an old-fashioned telephone or cash register, even though the majority of children this age won’t ever have seen a […]

The BG Christmas Gift Guide 2024: Advent Calendars
2024 hasn’t been the easiest of years, so I’ve been very quiet on here, but I’ve been persuaded to come out of hibernation for the annual gift guides.
