Disney Pictopia Family Board game (age 7+) Christmas Present Giveaway
Disney Pictopia is a picture trivia game which is just perfect for Winter evenings when you are warm and cosy inside your house while the wind howls around outside. A fabulous game to play with anyone aged 7+, you really have no idea just how much you know about Disney until you start playing - and trust me, unless you consider yourself a Disney superfan, you're likely to be surprised!
Featuring 1000 questions to keep gameplay fresh for a long while, Pictopia can be played by 2-6 players, and what we discovered very quickly was that each player has a very different Disney experience and can answer very different questions!
With more than 70 Disney movies spanning from Snow White in 1937 through to all the more modern Pixar movies, our teenagers and young children could answer questions we couldn't and vice versa. It means that you can actually play with 2 or 3 generations of players and everyone has a chance of winning.

FabLab Style Lab From Interplay Christmas Present Giveaway (age 8+)
Interplay are one of our long term favourites. All of our children have found their craft, science, nature and technology based toys in their stockings several times each over the years. Toys that give a child a project to complete, and skills to learn.
The FabLab Style Lab is ideal for your more artistic young people. The Style Lab contains everything they'll need to create some great designs with body tattoos and body art, nail decoration and hair colour - and it all washes off!
A couple of our teenagers would love this set even now. It wouldn't be flowers and love hearts though, we'd have tattoos of Adventure Time characters and Thirty Seconds To Mars.

Two Tractor Ted DVD's Christmas Present Giveaway
Tractor Ted has been delighting children for over 13 years with his friendly farm antics, bringing the countryside into the living rooms of children who live even in the biggest cities. The range of Tractor Ted products available to fans is huge, and there is even a Tractor Ted show which tours the UK.
This giveaway is for 2 Tractor Ted DVD's and a Tractor Ted keyring. I was given them when I went to the Talk To Mums event last month, and while they're great, my boys are getting a bit old for Tractor Ted. They won't get properly used here, so I'm sending them to one of my readers.

Bratz Study Abroad Raya Christmas Present Giveaway (age 5+)
This Autumn Bratz Dolls have had a revamp, and there are a whole host of new releases, including the Bratz Study Abroad range. Cloe, Yasmin, Jade, Sasha and Raya are off to foreign countries to learn more about the world, complete with their bags and cases, souvenirs and a spare outfit to take with them!
All of the Bratz dolls have the unique Bratz style, with an overly slim, tall figure and super long hair. It may not be realistic body image at all, but I think promoting the idea that girls can travel the world studying is a great thing for our children to aspire to. My 15 year old was obsessed with Bratz when she was little, I'd have been delighted if it had been able to give her aspirations about future education plans.
