What we do and who we are

Children can seem a complete mystery. What they eat is hard enough to work out, let alone what interesting presents they might want for their birthday or for Christmas. 

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 robotic water blaster kit, played with the inflatable dinosaur, doodled with the magic pens, worn the upside down goggles and tried the disco ball wristband, dancing in the dark!

We offer the full present service - we can giftwrap your presents, send them with a handwritten card direct to the lucky recipient. And we even send you a birthday reminder every year so you don't forget the Big Day.

The Wicked Uncle Team

Wicked Uncle was founded in 2010 by Mike O'Shea, a former employee of the multinational S. Claus Toy Group

We are a community of small, pointy-eared elves based somewhere over the rainbow near Elveden (really!)

PJ day for the Elves

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

A couple of random jokes that make us laugh, the sort of jokes 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.

The Website

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
