Gift wrap service amazing, but expensive

Absolutely fantastic site, with such a wide range of toys, lots that you won't see in shops. I live quite a distance from thekids I send gifts to, so having the gift wrap service, where you can choose the card and paper you want, is a game changer! It's just very expensive for what it is- £3 for one gift and one piece of wrapping paper. Once you've had 2 or 3 gifts wrapped and added a card, it works out a very expensive additional cost and means I often have to buy gifts of a cheaper value than I wanted.

Disappointing

I wanted to order two different things from wicked uncle but every time i went back into the basket the previous item had disappeared. In the end i onlyordered one item as i didn't want to pay for delivery twice. This does need to be sorted as youre losing purchases.

Excellent

Bought the home or away football quiz as a Christmas present for my grandson. Arrived in a couple of days after placing the order. Came with a card anda little bag of jelly beans, which I thought was a lovely gesture. Some really nice gift ideas on the website ( which I'd never heard of before), but I would highly recommend it.
