Here's the Netbuddy team's top picks for festive presents for all ages and needs
For Babies
A fun and safe place for babies to explore, with intriguing sights, sounds and textures to encourage babies to move and interact. It comes with beanbags, balls, a mirror and numerous portholes, patterns and colours to aid strength, coordination and use of the senses.
Activity & Sounds House
Aids learning through a variety of shapes, colours and music. With a xylophone on the roof and shaped blocks with co-ordinating holes around the house this is a fantastic playtime toy that helps tiny ones learn while having fun (and making noise).
For little ones
Six soft skittles with a Christmas theme – santa, snowman, tree, angel and two reindeer. Set them up and knock them down using the Christmas pudding ball in a game that encourages taking turns, social interaction and aids hand-eye coordination.
3D Feel & Find
Award-winning wooden shape and textile tiles game where children are dealt a tile and have to reach into the bag to feel for the corresponding wooden shape.
Oral motor exercises game
A magnetic board game that offers the chance to practice oral motor exercises in a fun and structured way. Using the monkey mirror, children practice the exercise and match the tiles on the game board.
For Teens

Huggalugs are a handy and colourful way to protect arms and legs. They are easy to slip on and off when the weather turns or you head inside, and they’re stylish too. Made from soft cotton in funky patterns or plain colours they’re perfect for sensitive limbs
