What we do and who we are
If you don't have any children yourself, or even if you do, they can seem a complete mystery. What they eat is hard enough to work out, let alone what interesting toys they might want for their birthday. Plus it is very easy to forget or find it all too difficult.
We have put together a really great selection of interesting and unusual presents that children will love. We can giftwrap, send direct with a handwritten birthday card and send you reminders for ever. Great toys too.
If you get it wrong and you end up buying something that he/she already has or really doesn't like, then return it to us (for free) and we will either refund you, or replace it with something else.
The Wicked Uncle Team
We are a community of pointy-eared elves based in the deep countryside somewhere over the rainbow near Elveden with a mission to provide brilliant toys for boys and girls. We have an office with some token people in it in London. The company was founded by a former employee of the multinational S. Claus Toy Corporation in 2007 to do cool stuff all year round and have fun.
Why are you called Wicked Uncle?
Because it sounds cool. Unfortunately the term "wicked" may no longer be down with the kids, but anybody over 30 knows what we mean. And it is a great name for a toy shop.
PS One of our favourite German jokes:
Q. Why is there no aspirin in the jungle?
A. Because it would not be financially viable to attempt to sell pharmaceuticals in the largely unpopulated rainforest.
And a smartypants one for the clever clogs:
There are 10 sorts of people in this world:
Those who understand the binary system and those who don't.
If you become a customer and buys stacks of cool toys for boys and girls, we will send you even more of these brilliant jokes.
And finally, here is our favourite other site on the web. It is called Storynory and it is full of original, free audio stories for children. Great for bedtimes or car journeys. They have even written some stories about a really cool character called The Wicked Uncle inspired by us.
