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

Great service and gift ideas.

Efficient service, great range of gifts. The birthday reminders with suggested gifts is a fantastic idea.

Excellent Service Excellent Gifts

As always good speedy service. I have never been disappointed with any gift I’ve bought. This time it was a model engine kit for my 9year old grandson. I’ll be giving it to him tomorrow and I’m pretty sure he’ll be very pleased with it.

Clever? No Wicked

Its not cheap but it is quick and delivers a hit. Hard to make a case for spending hours trying to be a clever uncle when Wicked is quicker.

Excellent service.

Very prompt service. Speedy delivery, and nicely packaged. Gift wrapping is excellent, very nicely done. I wish there was a Christmas wrap. A tremendous help to me, asI have arthritis in my hands .

You just can't beat Wicked Uncle!

Brilliant. A big box of about 7 items (for the grandchildren) was dispatched and delivered very promptly via Royal Mail. Always a relief assome couriers are just awful (they either never find us or they throw parcels over anyone's wall). And the choice of gifts is amazing. Such interesting things for curious kids to make and play with. So different from the same old stuff on offer elsewhere. I always enjoy searching through the website. Love the jokes too! It's all quality. Keep it up, elves!
