What Is the 5 Gift Rule for Christmas?

The five gift rule is a simple way to make Christmas gift ideas more meaningful. It means giving something they want, something they need, something to wear, something to read, and a surprise.

Our collection covers what they want (like toys and ride-ons) and what they need (think quality furniture and decor). Add a favourite book and you've created a Christmas day your child will remember.

Finding the Right Christmas Gift for Your Little One

Picking kids' Christmas presents that truly fit your child takes a little thought. Consider their age, what captures their imagination, and what will still be loved next year. We've broken down the main things to think about to help you find that perfect gift.

Balancing Age Suitability and Popular Trends

The best kids' Christmas gifts are ones that match your child's stage of development, not just what's currently popular. Toys designed for their age build confidence, independence, and the skills they need to grow.

Our collection includes curated gifts sorted by age, so you can find something that's just right for your little one to enjoy today and play with for years to come.

Quality and Safety First

When selecting stocking fillers and main gifts, prioritise quality materials and child-safe construction. We use premium timber and non-toxic finishes across our range, making sure every toy and piece of furniture meets Australian safety standards.

From rounded edges to sturdy builds made to withstand years of play, our products are designed so you can feel confident your little one is safe while having fun.

Playtime That Supports Growing Minds

Watch your tot light up when they discover something new while having a blast during playtime. Our Montessori toys, DIY craft kits, and sensory sets turn learning into pure enjoyment, building motor skills without your child even realising it. From stacking challenges to hands-on building experiences, every moment becomes an opportunity for growth and discovery.


Top Christmas Gift Wishes Across Every Age Group

Every age brings new wishes and play styles. From tiny explorers to growing adventurers, understanding what resonates with each stage helps you find the best Christmas gifts that will be loved for years.

Ages 0 - 1

Newborns and babies thrive with sensory exploration. Soft textures, comforters for cuddles, and safe wooden baby toys spark curiosity while supporting development. Play gyms and baby activity items our best sellers keep little ones entertained during those precious early months.

Ages 1 - 2

One- to two-year-olds at this stage are movers and shakers. Stacking toys, push and pull items, and a scooter get them active. Montessori-style shape puzzles and bath toys turn playtime into discovery, and ride-ons help build confidence as they explore their world.

Ages 3 - 4

Preschoolers love storytelling through play. Doll houses, play kitchens, and dress-up costumes spark imagination. A scooter keeps them active outdoors, while plush comforters offer cosy cuddles at day's end.

Ages 5 - 6

Growing kids want creative control. Pedal cars, craft sets, cubby houses, and backyard play sets inspire outdoor adventures. DIY kits and themed experiences like the dino play set or mermaid colouring sets keep minds busy and hands engaged.

Ages 7+

Older kids want their own spaces to retreat and create. Reading nooks, personalised furniture, and bags become keepsakes they treasure. Outdoor play equipment transforms their world into somewhere uniquely theirs.

How To Wrap Your Tot's Christmas Gifts

The excitement starts the moment your little one spots that beautifully wrapped gift. Create themed DIY presentations using kraft paper and natural twine, or wrap odd-shaped items like scooters in fabric.

Our reusable HipKids bags make brilliant wrapping solutions that keep on giving, perfect for storing treasures long after the festive season ends. Add a personal touch with hand-drawn tags or stickers for extra magic.

How Much to Spend on Christmas Gifts for Kids

Setting a budget removes the guesswork from gift buying. In Australia, most parents spend between $150 to $400 per child, scaling up as kids get older.

Consider pairing one main gift with thoughtful smaller items and stocking fillers to create variety without overspending. Our range offers quality picks across every price point, so you can give meaningful gifts within your budget and still delight your little one.
