Popular Themes and Trends for Children's Gifts In 2023
We've been around for a few years now and the key themes we have seen over the last few years continue to be at the forefront of people's minds when buying for Christmas 2023 too. Consumers are continuing to demand high-quality, thoughtful and functional toys that will last. They are expecting retailers to focus on brands that have strong eco credentials and ethos that puts the child's experience of fun and learning at the centre of their products.
As a mother, these values are important to me, which means as a business owner they remain top of my list when looking at brands to stock this Christmas and have been at the forefront of my mind when choosing my favourite stocking fillers and gifts under £20 for children.
Toys and Games Under £20
Finding a quality toy for £20 or which is suitable as a stocking filler might feel like quite an ask, but thankfully some of our favourite toy brands have delivered some brilliant offerings for Christmas 2023.
One of our top tips for stocking fillers is adding to their collection of small animal figures, usually retailing from around £6.99 they are a great way to expand an existing collection without breaking the bank. Our range of Bumbu wooden figures is a great place to start.
If your child is developing a love of pretend play then Little Dutch do an excellent range of wooden shop accessories such as their weighing scales and cash register that are sure to deliver hours of fun for under £20.

Our favourite baby toys for under £20
Petit Boum - Sensory Bottle
Look, shake … and listen! As simple and as effective as that. The small objects in the Petit Boum sound bottle series are a real sight for the little ones. Auditory stimulation, especially important in the first year of life of babies, is added to the visual identification of the pieces contained.
Mushie - Paint Press Toy
Mushie's fun press toy is inspired by art and paint palettes and is perfect for little hands to hold. The toy promotes fine motor skills and encourages sensory exploration with paint bubbles that can be pushed and popped. The bubbles are made of food-grade silicone with a frame made from food-grade ABS plastic in a simple design. This sensory toy provides endless hours of fun for the little ones.
Bezisa - Wooden Baby Rattle
We love this simple, neutral wooden rattle from Scandinavian brand Bezisa. Each one is lovingly made by by hand and features natural wooden beads and two wooden teething rings meaning your baby will be kept busy by the textures and shapes of this wooden rattle.
Creative and Artistic Gifts For Stockings and Under £20
Creative and art gifts are always perfect for Christmas, apart from their ability to encourage creativity they often help slow our children down and play in a mindful way.
