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?)

Our website was created by Tom Bates and the team at Sound in Theory. If you need an ecommerce site to be proud of, as we are, we highly recommend them. Email tom@soundintheory.co.uk

Great gifts and service from this company

Fantastic gifts and well recommended for the suggested age groups. The wrapping service is fabulous but I would have liked much larger printon the labels as the print was really small for young children to read. The delivery was really quick. Really recommend this company.

Excellent first choice website

Always manage to find attractive, fun and learning-based gifts at Wicked Uncle plus service is excellent. I find ideas I wouldn't have thought of, and wouldn'tfind elsewhere, at the very least not so easily. It's always my go-to website for present ideas for young relatives.

A good company to deal with.

Good products. Packaged well and delivered on time as promised. Good communication throughout.I was looking for presents for a range of ages, both boysand girls. Lovely to see toys from the girls bags which can be coloured in then washed to colour again to the boys T-shirt with interactive panel on the front to name just two. I was spoilt for choice.

Check if batteries needed before buying

Happy with my order except for an item which didn’t include batteries and didn't say on the box which ones were needed. This couldhave been a big disappointment on Christmas day if I hadn't looked it up on line in advance.
