What we do and who we are

What do you buy a 6 year old girl for her birthday? Help! That's how it all started, over 15 years ago...

Children can seem a complete mystery. What they eat is hard enough to work out, let alone what interesting presents they might want for birthday or Christmas. We decided to help people like us and make it easy.

At Wicked Uncle, we know what kids like and ensure you gift an age appropriate present sure to be enjoyed. We have scoured the world to find a really useful selection of fun, unusual and different presents for children. 

We test every potential present for fun, quality and value before it even goes on our website - we've built the robot kit, played with the fun games, doodled with the magic pens and worn the upside down goggles.

We offer the full present service - we can giftwrap your presents too and send them with a handwritten card  or message. And we even send you a birthday reminder every year so you don't forget the Big Day.

The Wicked Uncle Team

Our happy team of helpful elves love to wrap and send presents for you that make children smile - it's a  fun job!

PJ day for the Elves

The team has recently been expanded to include Harvey the Dog, our bouncy spaniel.

Why are you called Wicked Uncle?

Because it means cool or awesome, or did, back in the day! The term "Wicked" may no longer be down with the kids, but anybody over 30 (or 40...) knows what we mean.

Couple of random jokes that make us laugh, which a Wicked Uncle would of course tell:

What is brown and sticky ? A stick.

My girlfriend said she was going to leave me because of my obsession with the Monkees. I thought she was joking. Then I saw her face.

(Editor, cutting edge with a Monkees joke?)
