AD - This is a PR collaboration.
It's September, the kids are back to school, and life is becoming somewhat normal again. The past year or two has been difficult for everyone. It's a relief to have some normality, and structure back into our lives - especially for our children.
Seasoned parents know that with the start of the new school year comes the school party season - so many invites! Let me tell you, these kids have better social lives than I do. Noah has only been back at school for a week and has already been invited to two parties which he is so excited about. I find that as the children get older it's harder to find gifts that they'll like or something that they don't already have - this is where Wicked Uncle comes in.
Wicked Uncle is an online store that provides so much more than just toys. They have searched far and wide to find to put together a website jam-packed full of fun, unusual, quirky, educational, and different gift ideas for children. They thoroughly test every item before they list it on the website, they can gift wrap presents, send out handwritten cards, even email birthday reminders to you - making the life of every parent that much easier. With party season in full swing, I've decided to pick my top three gifts from the Cool Gifts for 9-Year-Old section.
Jellyfish Tank - Colour Chaning Mood Light - £18.95
This lamp is 24cm tall and is rounded to hold two amazingly lifelike jellyfish that swim around the tank. The LED's light up the tank changes colour and creates a relaxing feel to any room. This has Noah's name all over it as he aspires to be a marine biologist when he's older. I'm adding this to Noah's birthday list for sure.

Stinky Pig Game - £10.95
This is a pass the parcel game with a stinky twist - this pig hums and then trumps! You simply press his tummy, and he'll respond with a song. Roll the dice and then you are off. Pass him left, right or roll again, but do it quickly before he farts1 If you are holding the pig when he trumps you get a token, the player with the fewest tokens at the end wins! I can see this game going down a storm with most children Noah's age and for that price too - you can't go wrong!

6 in 1 Solar Recycler - £16.95
Last, but certainly not least - get children's brains engaged with this fun, eco-friendly, activity set. The six models are easy to build using old recycled items, various kit parts, including a solar panel, motor, and instructions. Kids will be amazed by recycling an old can of pop into a robot that actually walks! There is so much more to do but I don't want to give it all away. It's a fantastic way to introduce kids to solar power technology, recycling, green power all while encouraging them to use their minds, all while nurturing their imagination. It's another gift that I have got to purchase for Noah and his friends!
Please do take a look at the website because you will be blown away, just like I am. It's incredible having so many inspirational toys, and activities all in one place - items you wouldn't have known about. I feel well and truly inspired now when it comes to present giving this birthday season and I know you will be too.
