9, A twenty minute lie in. And, finally...
10, Just to keep them quiet!

And here, is the answer to your prayers! A top ten of great gifts for kids, that will buy you some peace!


1)First stop on the list of top ten gifts for kids has to be a jar of Retro Sweets! This blast from the past will stir up an abundance of nostalgia from your own childhood, when it was safe for children to play outside, before the internet and Play stations, when all there was to do all day was climb trees and read Enid Blyton! Ah, those hazy days of yesteryear... Indeed, nothing says 'I had a better childhood than you' more than a mouth full of Fizz Whizz and Love Hearts! And, nothing keeps a child quieter than a Refreshers Bar (well for at least the duration it takes to eat it whilst their teeth are stuck together!).


2)Art and Craft gifts for kids are always a sure bet for keeping them entertained – and a design your own T-shirt is a present that all kids will be happy to receive!


3)Number three may not be everyone's cup of tea, but honestly, can you beat a pair of wind up racing grannies to keep the kids amused? And as far as gifts for kids go, this is one the adults are sure to have lots of fun with too!


4)At number four, how about some competitive sports? Well, of sorts! USB Whack it, is the ideal way to get your kids competitive juices flowing! The heads light up, and you whack them down! See who can set the highest score – in terms of asking... you could not ask for much more!


5)At number five, another cheer in the general direction of Art and Crafts gifts for kids. Basically, anything that is a 'making set', so... make a scrap book, or make a teddy bear, doll, castle or spider web... anything with glue and instructions!


6)There are some things you just never grow too old to do! Wading in the sea, laughing at knock knock jokes, and eating ice cream with flakes in them, all really good examples.... playing with an Etch a Sketch is an even better example! Even teenagers will find it hard to resist etching out a picture! So, go on... give them something to doodle on!


7)Providing that your remove any breakables, and get the kids to stand WELL back from the Plasma TV, then number seven on the list of top ten gifts for kids should really keep your children entertained! A Juggling Science Gift Set, complete with juggling balls and DVD, could very easily help turn your kids into juggling pro's! And, as we all know, juggling is an essential skill in life to master!


8)Number eight is really more of a present for you! Although once you have had your fun you can palm it off as one of the gifts for kids, and let them use it on your better half! Yes, we are talking about a Remote Control Jammer! Think of the hours of entertainment this little baby can provide! The tears, the confusion, the sniggering! Pure entertainment!


9)If your kids like writing, then why not buy them a book to record their hopes and dreams in? Note pads with helpful prompts on the front, such as "One day I will be a Rockstar And This Is My Plan!, can provide inspiration for your children to while away hours planning their global domination!


10)Number ten has to be a family Paint Balling trip! A sure fire, fantastic way to get everyone out of the house, doing some exercise, having fun, and letting off steam!
