1.Dino Fingerling

2.LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Set

3.Pie Face Cannon

£26.99, www.amazon.co.uk

Pie Face continues to make the Christmas list year after year, and 2018 looks to be no different. This year’s Pie Face Cannon fires a pie every time, and it’s up to the contestant to use the red hand to stop getting “pied”. A great game to play after Christmas dinner! Pies away!

4.Chow Crown Game

£24.99, www.argos.co.uk

A silly game for the whole family. The hat plays music, and while the beats are going, the crown spins round, and the wearer has to eat as many of the food items attached to the forks as possible.

A game that’s most fun when hunger looms, you are in charge of loading the food items on to the forks. You can choose tasty treats like marshmallows and strawberries or items that might not be so palatable! Great fun for parties and sleepovers too.

5.The Poopsie Unicorn Surprise

£49.99, www.amazon.co.uk

Mums and dads across the country will be delighted to find this defecating unicorn on Christmas lists! It is a ‘cute’ toy that poops out glittery slime when you feed it special unicorn food. While I can hear parents visibly groaning, this is sure to be a hit with unicorn-lovers everywhere. Plus, if you are worried about getting unicorn glitter poo all over your carpet on Christmas day, never fear, the toy comes with its own potty!
