Trotters Wool Scallop-Trim Coat 

A pop of colour – especially a hue as festive as this – is just what wintertime needs. Designed in England with tradition in mind, this coat from the Trotters Heritage collection is made from pure wool with a full lining and trims of contrasting black velvet on the buttons and collar. It’s just the piece to complete a Christmas outfit, whether they’re still a toddler or edging into those tween years: it comes in multiple age ranges starting from two years, ensuring growing children maintain style and, crucially, warmth at every stage of their dressing journey.

The Best Soft Toys

A soft toy is forever, not just for Christmas.


Mofusand x Harrods Kiramekko Hedgehog Charm

When it comes to self expression, charms offer the perfect way to inject personality. This one is extra special: it’s an exclusive between Japanese label Mofusand and Harrods, and brings the charm of artist Juno’s cats together with the traditionally British – and quintessentially adorable – hedgehog. It’s roughly the size of an adult’s hand or a smartphone, so it’s perfect as a plush companion for travel, too.

Jellycat Amuseables Fitswell Mitten Toy

Holding hands just became easier than ever. Part of a trio of plushies honouring children’s favourite winter attire – including Perta Snowboot and Pomilly Hat – Fitswell Mitten is part of Jellycat’s much-anticipated Christmas 2026 release. As is the established Jellycat rule of thumb, this new companion is squeezable, huggable and embroidered with a friendly smile. And don’t worry if your child’s own mittened grip fails when they join you on a muddy stroll: Fitswell Mitten is machine washable too.

The Best Electronic Toys

Interactive fun they’ll come back to time and again.

Moflin

If your child – and you – aren’t ready for the responsibility of a real pet, allow Moflin to fill the fluffy-shaped hole in their hearts. This clever toy, which is available in silver and gold colourways, learns and grows through social stimulation using AI-powered technology, with each Moflin adapting to its owner’s routines and responses. It’ll be part of the family in no time.

Robosen x Disney Toy Story 30th Anniversary Collector’s Set

Disney has spent the past 30 years delighting all ages with tales of these plucky anthropomorphised toys. Now, to celebrate the original film’s 30th anniversary, Robosen has designed a set of mini robotic Toy Story figures (including Woody, Buzz, Alien, Jessie, Rex and Lotso) that speak, move and interact with Disney-approved authenticity. Simply slide the characters into the included base - a design prepped for adding extra characters to as they're released - and watch as they come to life, ready to be programmed with customised movements and sounds.

VTech Kidi Guitar Superstar

Get ready to rock’n’roll. This battery-powered guitar by VTech lets kids wail to their heart’s content. The Bluetooth feature means they can play along to their favourite tunes on the light-up fret buttons, which also help them follow the interactive Catch-the-Light game. It has touch-sensitive strings, six ways to play, including Solo Mode and Band Mode, and four guitar styles: clean electric, distortion, acoustic and funny sounds. The best bit? It records, so they can start building their EP from the first strum.

The Best Building Toys

There’s no better feeling than tinkering with a new toy.

LEGO DUPLO Discovery Forest with Wild Animals 

This set has seemingly endless layers of interaction. Designed to teach children more about the natural world, this LEGO DUPLO toy helps toddlers build vocabulary around wildlife, conservation and woodland, while sparking every age's imagination. And look – whose pawprints are those? They could have been made by a hedgehog, duck, squirrel, bunny, bird or fox, and figuring out who left the trail revealed by the coloured lenses is all part of the fun.

Brio Space Exploration Train Set

If your child loved following the Artemis II mission to the moon, they’ll appreciate creating their own space station with this Brio set. Budding astronauts can combine these lunar-themed pieces with their wider collection to build a base worthy of Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong themselves. Alternatively, they can follow the gameplay-style setup in which their astronaut can be suited up with the magnetic helmet and cover to collect the bright orange minerals before de-suiting and hopping into the shuttle to deliver them safely to the collection zone.

The Best Christmas Clothing

Thick woollen sweaters, fluffy hats and sturdy winter boots – ’tis the season to be cosy.

Ami Paris Virgin Wool Cardigan

Made from virgin wool dyed in Italy and finished with tactile exposed seams, this unisex Ami Paris cardigan puts the pep back into preppy clothing. As is customary for this French label, it toes the line between casual and polished, so they can still look put together while remaining warm and comfortable. And knitted on the chest, naturally, is the Ami de Coeur logo, sealing all their outfits with a kiss.

Burberry Wool Townhouse Bear Dress

Perhaps we’re biased, but nothing beats a bear in a London townhouse. Burberry leans into London’s historic charm with this sweater dress, made from intarsia-knit wool, cashmere and mohair. It features Thomas Bear – named after Burberry’s founder – leaning out of a window beneath a symbolic blue plaque, traditionally used to commemorate historical figures.
