Kids are alright with #shopindie gift ideas

David Knight • Nov 18, 2021

So much children's gifts inspiration when #UKGiftHour #UKGiftAM held its #KidsGiftsDay on Twitter.

Here’s just a flavour of the gift ideas that came pouring in from UK indies and creative businesses (clockwise from top left):

  • Light cubes. . . a wide range of designs from Nottinghamshire’s Spratts Designs can be personalised and they’re battery-operated so can feature in any room
  • Fun scented soaps. . .  who wouldn’t want to be a water baby with seaside soap aromas like candyfloss and chocolate chip cookie ice cream from Lancashire’s Seatangles
  • Bags and backpacks. . . Sunderland’s Gerties Bags turns fabrics into wonderfully practical and playful bags and backpacks featuring themes like cats and dogs
  • Hoodies. . . eco is the fashion for the new generation and Koala Chess Art of Essex combine organic cotton and recycled plastic to great dinosaur-on-a-spacehopper effect! And for every purchase from their site, they plant two trees
  • Jigsaws. . . remain an entertaining and educational gift idea to this day and this 16-piece puzzle for little ones from Derbyshire’s Visions Of May can be personalised
  • Prints. . . West Yorkshire’s Helen Robinson Art creates colouring books, cards and prints and is only too happy to discuss bedroom wall commissions for your special little one
  • Sweets. . . always well received by youngsters but why not take the healthier route of less sugar, loads of cocoa and high protein with Glasgow’s Rebel Chocolate
  • Comics. . . you may think it’s all computer games these days but there’s still delight to be had with framed vintage comics from London’s Lorna Kyle Cards
  • Centre: Christmas Eve box and stocking fillers. . . the eco-friendly packs from London positivity  team Helpful Kids promote love of nature and encourage children to learn sustainable life skills

We’re the #giftfinder at your fingertips not only for children's gifts but also – if you want to check on Twitter – for men’s gifts, eco gifts, mindful gifts, animal gifts, nature gifts. . . all manner of gift goodies from inspiring independents!

Join us from 9am-midday every Saturday and Sunday morning on Twitter. Make it a #shopindie #Christmas!
