Animals books and toys – Christmas Gift Guide 2023

Most kids love animals, whether a family pet, after a trip to the zoo, or spotting movement whilst out for a nature walk. I always think gifts related to animals have some longevity to them, loved periodically when the latest trend has faded away.

There are lots of lovely bits and bobs here – our books and activity packs (of course!), kits to make things, a fab lion pen (and there are loads of other deisgns available), some cards toys and a super rockhopper penguin soft toy (they look so comical!). I hope it helps a little with your Christmas gift-buying quest today!
