A small, cheap stocking filler that gets used.

Good
    Worth knowing

      Who shouldn't buy it: Don't buy it if the child is very young or bites toys: it is a squeeze toy, not a teether.

      A cheerful, silly gift for a child with a sense of humour.

      Good
        Worth knowing

          Who shouldn't buy it: Don't buy it if the child is frightened by odd-looking toys: Fugglers are ugly on purpose.

          An easy stocking filler for a Squishmallow collector; each one is a named character.

          Good
            Worth knowing

              Who shouldn't buy it: Don't buy it if they collect a particular character: check which one they already have.

              Cheap, cheerful and always welcome with a child who collects cars.

              Good
                Worth knowing

                  Who shouldn't buy it: Don't buy it if the child is under three: the cars are small, and the styles in each pack vary.

                  One of the best small games to have in the house: quick to learn, quick to play.

                  Good
                    Worth knowing

                      Who shouldn't buy it: Don't buy it if you want a long, thoughtful game: a round of Dobble is over in minutes.

                      Still a good family card game, and an easy stocking filler.

                      Good
                        Worth knowing

                          Who shouldn't buy it: Don't buy it if they already have a pack: it is the standard deck.

                          A classic puzzle that suits a patient child or a grown-up who likes a challenge.

                          Good
                            Worth knowing

                              Who shouldn't buy it: Don't buy it if they want a fast speedcube: the original turns more stiffly than speed cubes.

                              A good small game for a KPop Demon Hunters fan.

                                  Who shouldn't buy it: Don't buy it if nobody in the house knows the film: the plain Monopoly Deal is the same game.

                                  Before you buy
                                  Small toys often mean small parts. Check the age on each one if there's a baby or toddler in the house, and don't fill a stocking for the sake of it: three things they'll use beat ten they won't.
                                  How we choose

                                  We unbox and build what we can at home, hand it to someone the age it's sold for, and check prices and stock at UK shops through the day. Every pick is labelled: Tested at home when we've had it in our hands (bought, or sent free by the brand, and the review says which), Researched when we haven't. Commissions never change a pick or its place on the list. Read our full methodology →
