Top toys for Christmas 2018



If you’ve got young kids in the family, they’ve probably made a good start on their Christmas lists already. But if they (and you) are in need of a little inspiration, we’ve rounded up our favourite toys for 2018, from smaller prezzies to big gifts. Just don’t forget the batteries!




She wriggles, giggles, babbles and gurgles… with more than 80 lifelike movements, expressions and sounds, Baby Alive Real As Can Be is a very convincing fake! She’s the perfect present for little mummies and daddies, and arrives with accessories including a bib, bottle and blanket.


FurReal Friends Ricky the Trick-Lovin' Pup

If they’d rather have a furry friend than a babbling baby, Ricky the Pup is the next best thing to a genuine dog! He loves performing cool tricks for treats – like balancing a bone on his nose – and he responds with more than 100 sound and motion combinations. He’s guaranteed to steal the show on Christmas day.



If you don’t mind your house turning into a temporary shootout arena over the festive period, why not equip your kids (and even yourselves) with Nerf Laser Ops Pro DeltaBurst blasters? Engage in laser battle right out of the box; the blaster registers hits with lights and sounds, while the LCD screen displays health status and ammo capacity. A great way to work off the mince pies!


BuyJohn Lewis & Partners Waitrose Supermarket Online at johnlewis.com

All little ones love to play shops – so why not go for a fancy option like this one from Waitrose, tipped to be a must-have toy this Christmas by retailers? It includes a host of groceries (from croissants and cereals to juice and fruit), Waitrose paper bags, a built-in calculator and pretend credit card machine – making it good value for the price tag. You could always ask relatives to buy add-ons like the mini Waitrose trolley to complete the set.


Fingerlings Pink Baby Panda Polly

A petite pet Panda your little one can take everywhere, Polly is an interactive finger puppet that laughs, blinks, sneezes and even burps! She grips onto fingers, pencils, notebooks and much more – meaning she can be there at the table when you all tuck in to your Christmas roast!


SPHERO BB-9E with Trainer

Last Christmas, the BB-E was a huge hit, and this year the BB-9E, from the new The Last Jedi movie (out mid-December), is set to be just as big. Use your smart device to control this fierce little android... if you don't mind splashing out, it will make for awesome playtime fun.



A nod to the retro games many parents will remember from their childhoods, this Sega console is guaranteed to keep kids (and big kids!) entertained over the festive period and beyond. It comes loaded with a whopping 85 games, but also features an SD card slot for downloaded games. Hook up to the TV for some festive family gaming!


Hot Wheels Drone Racerz Bladez Vehicle Set

From track to sky, this is Hot Wheels’ first drone, able to flip 360 degrees and fly outdoors as well as in. Use the ramp and gates included to set up the ultimate stunt, or purchase extra Hot Wheels Tracks and watch the drone/vehicle drag race and perform high-speed loop-the-loops.

Stock up with GP Batteries


Your kids are bound to want to start playing with their toys the moment they unwrap them, so make sure you’re well stocked on batteries. Our ReCyko+ and ReCyko+ Pro batteries are rechargeable and can be boosted over a thousand times using one of our chargers. Not only does this make them a more eco-friendly choice, but it’ll save you a lot of money in the long run.
