Here at Wicked Uncle, we like to make gift-giving easy. First of all, all of our gifts are tested by a team of experts, so we carry only the coolest toys.

Secondly, not only can you browse the toys and games on our website by age, gender and category, but you can also customise the gift you select and send it directly to your favourite kid. When you go to checkout, just add your choice of gift wrap and a handwritten card with a message of your choice to make your gift feel even more special… Gift wrap is £3.00 for the first present and £2.50 for additional presents, and cards are £2.95.

Of course, because we’re talking about last-minute gifts, we should also mention that if you order before 4 p.m., we can ship the same day!

Finally, the newest way that we’re making gift-giving easier is by offering gift cards! If you have really left it until the last minute, simply buy a gift card and email it to your recipient — it’s super-fast, and the cards are easy to redeem!
