The Lego brand continues to take over the Christmas Toy list as it has done for the past few years.

This years Lego offering focuses on their popular Ninja range. The Japanese style Fire Temple comes complete with Lord Garmadon and his ghoulish skeleton army. Boo! Hiss!

Amazing Amazon sell the Lego Ninjajo Fire Temple for £61.99. You may even get free UK delivery.

The Moshi Monsters don’t sound like they live in a treehouse, but apparently they do! It’s essentially a plastic dolls house in the shape of a tree. The collectible Moshi Monsters live in their own little hollow in the tree branches but behind the greenery they have a hidden playroom.

It’s easy enough for an 8 year old to assemble and looks like it’d amuse any child with an imagination.

The cheapest place I’ve found the Moshling Treehouse for sale online is at Amazon for £20.

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!

The 2 megapixel camera has a twisting lens which lets them take self portraits but it also records and has a games function. Sounds like it’ll keep someone occupied over the festive season and beyond!

Buy the Kidizoom Twist Camera from Firebox.com for £47.99 with free delivery.

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.

It took me a while to figure out what this dream Christmas toy was all about, but after a little research I’ve discovered that Lagoona (full name; Lagoona Blue) is a character from the fictional school Monster High. And Lagoona has got herself on this years Top 12 Wanted list.

It’s a line of fashion dolls that have been created. Imagine Barbie dressed as Morticia Adams and you get the idea.

The complete Monster High: Lagoona Hydration Station is £39.29 from Play.com

It seems a bit odd to have a plastic multi disaster playset as a 2011 top selling christmas present but this is apparently what the kiddies want, especially when it’s Fireman Sam performing the rescues. And not a kitty cat in sight! Oh – apparently there is.

Open the set and put out the fires with the hose, save Norman when he gets stuck in the railings, and rescue the moggy from the tree! It’s a fun Fireman Sam Rescue set for under £30.

This has to be one of the most bizarre games I’ve seen! A throw of the dice dictates how often you squeeze your pooches lead after feeding the dog a bone. Each squeeze will push doggie doo (thankfully made from brightly coloured plasticine) from his bottom.

The person holding the lead when the doggie doo plops to the floor has to ‘poop the scoop’ and the first to have 3 piles of poop wins the game.

A fun gift for the family for under £25 – the Doggie Doo game

Cash can get a bit tight around Christmas time, especially when it comes to buying Christmas gifts but there’s one site that may have come up with a great solution.

I’ve been experiencing a recent spate of being late for meetings, buses and even my own deadlines. Last night the light bulb went off in my head and I realised that I’ve become too dependent on my mobile phone (which lives in my handbag) to tell the time. What I actually need to do is start wearing a watch again.

And on my quest to find one I stumbled upon the Watch A Gift website. Despite the puntastic name it actually has some really funky watches sitting comfortably amongst some classic examples too.

This Zebra Bangle Watch for £14.99 is my favourite and would make a great present for my niece this Christmas.

Betty Boop is one of my all-time favourite iconic figures. She’s cute and sassy with a retro hairstyle and a stylish wardrobe. What’s not to like about her?

So imagine my delight at discovering a whole new range of Betty Boop gifts and collectables at thebrilliantgiftshop.co.uk. They’ve got a great collection of prints, ornaments, toiletries and a whole heap of other Gifts for Her ideas.

The Trolley Dolly looks like one of the most useful things I’ve ever seen! It’s perfect for those without a car or who want to reduce the number of plastic bags they use. It looks great too with a retro cream & chocolate brown disco dot design.

I never though I’d get so excited about a shopping bag but it’s definitely on my birthday wish list!

It’s the kind of shopping bag a superhero would use! You can buy the Trolley Dolly Shopper for £27.95 from Prezzy Box.

I’m a sucker for personalised gifts. They just seem to add that little extra bit of sentimentality to a present. Especially a Mother’s Day gift. Anyway, last chance to order something online in time for mum’s day on Sunday. Hurry!

For just £9.95 this Personalised Cup Cake Latte Mug could be on its way to your mum ready to put a smile on her face and a slug of caffeine in her body.

We’ve been huge fans of Message Muffins for a few years now and we’re really pleased to see the latest additions to the range of edible gifts for sweet-toothed mums across the UK.

Our favourite is the Super Mum Cookie Gram which makes a lovely iced gingerbread treat for Mother’s Day or a birthday and is well within most budgets at just £5.99 which includes UK delivery. There are plenty more gifts to choose from though…

And so on with the task of finding the perfect present for Mother’s Day. I have just spotted this decorative but useful water pitcher which is known as a Gluggle Jug and I think it’s so brilliant I wish I was a mum so I could buy it for myself!

Not only does it look gorgeous, but it can be used as a water jug, a vase, utensil holder and more. The list is only limited by your imagination!

It costs a bargain £24.99 and you can get it delivered right to the door in time for Mothering Sunday.
