Your kids’ll go snap happy with the Kidizoom Twist. It’s an easy-to-use, robust camera for kids so no need to worry about getting Petit Filous all over your real one!

There are 4 Fijit Friends. Sage, Logan, Serafina and Willa. They’re cute, plastic, active toys that’ll more than likely become your childs best friend – and you won’t have to worry about them letting off stink bombs in the house.

These all-singing, all-dancing and all-giggling toys are like mini robots and you can have your very own Fijit from Amazon.co.uk for £41.25.

The staple Lightsaber makes a welcome return on the list this year. This new and improved weapon has super duper light and sound effects and still continues to delight Star Wars fans from all decades!

To activate the lightsaber and become a Jedi simply press a button to light up the handle. Nifty little motion sensors will then trigger the special sound effects when swung around – sorry – used in battle.

If this is on your little boys wish list I can guarantee the whole family will be playing it by lunch time on Christmas Day.

Kids can now have their very own tablet to help them improve their computer skills (and play lots of games too!) The LeapPad Explorer is the newest electronic gadget specifically aimed at 4-9 year old kids.

Hours of entertainment are guaranteed with this green and white gadget – and not just for Christmas – but through to 2012 as well. So while the LeapPad Explorer costs £112.99 I reckon it’s a winner.

An electronic pet that’s cute, soft and cuddly but with an element of surprise attached thanks to his random play function that’ll leave you guessing what he’ll get up to next.

For kids from 8 to 98, the Vortex Nitron Blaster is the latest in the Nerf range. The battery operated disc blaster has an amazing array of functions for optimum firing power whilst in battle with the enemy.
