Frequently Asked Questions

What's best to buy an 8 year old for their birthday?

8 year old boys love learning and participating in the world around them. For a truly unique birthday gift why not get the Wall Climbing Super Car!

What should you buy an 8 year old boy?

Eight year old boys develop more complex cognitive skills and are able to keep their focus and attention for longer periods. Popular and engaging gift options for this age group are the 12 in 1 Solar Hydraulic Construction Kit and True Balance - 8 spinning Disc stack.

What are 8 year old boys into?

8 year old boys love to build and put together construction sets and still enjoy racing cars and flying airplanes. At this age, boys are still full of boundless energy for play.

How much sleep should an 8 year old get?

Whilst all children are different, it is recommended that an 8 year old boy gets between 9 to 12 hours of sleep a night. As they are fully in the swing of going to school now, research has shown that children who go to sleep before 9PM tend to get more sleep and sleep better at night.

Cute board game for cat lovers with proper metal playing pieces

Was browsing for present ideas and found a cat version of a popular board game. Saw same thing ondifferent sites but this was the cheapest and also came on blue rather than orange and had better playing pieces. I don’t normally like paying for delivery but even with delivery costs this was the cheapest I found online.

Working together with Wicked Uncle

Always reliable. Speedy and responsible service. When I had a problem recently (I realised I’d not put my name on a card being sent) Iemailed Wicked Uncle. This produced a prompt, personal response and excellent resolution. I’ve used Wicked Uncle a number of times now and find them really useful for sensible (and silly but good) ideas. The fact that they will wrap presents and include an appropriate card (plenty of choice) is a useful, additional service. I have eight great nephews and nieces ranging from two to sixteen years old…..and I’m well into my seventies. Although we keep in touch, we don’t see each other that often and I find it difficult to know what sort of thing is a present which is suitable/acceptable/fun/useful. Having such a business as Wicked Uncle means that I’m more than likely to make a good choice of present. Also, I have one pair of nephews who seem to think it’s quite acceptable not to say ‘Thank you’, and sending them Wicked Uncle presents, which always include a ‘Thank you’ post card has produced a positive response. Wow! Well done Wicked Uncle. Incidentally, I’ve just used Wicked Uncle to send a Sandscape present to an 82 year old friend. One of these also went to a stressed out friend aged 49! I’d quite like one of these myself, I think. Well done again, Wicked Uncle and thank you. To any potential purchasers out there - I have had nothing but positive experiences when using Wicked Uncle and recommend them without reservation.
