Real Construction Deluxe Workshop
Budding handymen will be thrilled to receive this incredible practical building set, which promotes creativity and helps to develop construction skills. Suitable for children aged six and over, the set comes with more than 125 tools and fixings, including a child-friendly hammer, saw, screwdriver and hole cutter.

Vtech Kidizoom Video Camera
This sturdy video camera, designed to be used by children aged four and up, allows little ones to record videos, take photos and edit their masterpieces - all without the worry of them damaging the expensive family camcorder. The Kidizoom is incredibly easy to operate, so any aspiring Speilbergs will be up and running with a minimum of fuss. The camera features a 1.8 inch colour TFT screen, 4 x digital zoom and a resolution of 2.0 megapixels. Internal memory of 256MB is included, although this can be expanded with the use of a separate SD card. The Kidizoom runs off four AA batteries, which aren't included - so be sure to stock up and avoid disappointment!
LEGO Ultimate Vehicle Building Set
Perfect for creative children aged four and older, this set provides all the LEGO parts needed to construct more or less any vehicle type imaginable. Whether it's a race car, a truck or a digger - you name it, you can build it thanks to special pieces including wheels, windscreens, front loading shovels and hooks. Also included is a pull-back motor, allowing children to give life to their creations. The included instruction book includes easy-to-follow guides for building six different vehicles, but the possibilities are limited only by your child's imagination.
Fireman Sam Deluxe Fire Station
This wonderful play set opens up to reveal the heart of Fireman Sam's fire station, featuring a detailed kitchen, a utility room and a movable turntable to allow the separate Jupiter fire truck to be turned and pushed through the opening station doors. The set includes Fireman Sam and Officer Steele figures, along with accessories such as a toy fire extinguisher and fireman's pole - as well as a bell for that realistic alarm ring. The Fireman Sam Deluxe Fire Station comes complete with a sturdy carry handle, meaning the whole thing can be packed away and carried about with ease.
Toy Story 3: Buzz Lightyear and Woody
Fans of Toy Story 3 will be delighted to receive this double set of interactive Buzz Lightyear and Woody figures. With more than 100 sayings between them, Buzz and Woody can be used independently, but the real fun comes when they're used in conjunction with each other - set one off talking and the other will respond, prompting an entertaining back-and-forth to keep your children entertained for hours on end. The Buzz figure features a light-up laser button with spellbinding sound effects, while Woody sports his famous pull string. Designed for use by children aged four and over, these figures require three AA and three AAA batteries, which will need to be bought separately.
