Small gifts, big smiles: Hippychick’s stocking fillers that save Christmas morning

If there’s one universal truth among parents, it’s this: no matter how meticulously you plan your Christmas shopping, there is always that moment – usually around 23 December – when you realise you need “just a few more bits” to bulk out a stocking, balance the sibling presents, or rescue your own sanity. Enter Hippychick, swooping in like a festive fairy godparent armed with wooden toys, sensory rattles, and enough play value to see you through Boxing Day and beyond.

With gifts for babies, toddlers and preschoolers, Hippychick’s Christmas 2025 collection is full of little treasures that make children beam and parents breathe an enormous sigh of relief. These are the small-but-mighty presents that slip effortlessly into stockings, fill the awkward gift gaps, and politely decline to break before New Year.

Here are our favourite festive picks.

Classic World Rainbow Maracas (£8.99)

Bright, cheerful and just the right level of noisy, these little maracas are a brilliant introduction to music for small hands. Perfect for shaking along to Christmas songs or wildly improvising their own festive soundtrack.

Classic World Vintage Afternoon Tea Set (£27.50)

A charming wooden tea set that practically begs for imaginary mince pies. Perfect for pretend play, social skills and gently reminding older siblings that playtime is not, in fact, a competitive sport.

Crocodile Creek Binoculars (£15)

Ideal for budding adventurers. Whether your little explorer is spotting robins in the garden or checking the skies for Santa’s sleigh, these lightweight binoculars encourage outdoor curiosity with zero fuss.

Classic World Caterpillar (£9.99)

A simple, beautifully made wooden caterpillar that bends, twists and wiggles its way into hours of tactile play. Durable, colourful and timeless – everything you want in a stocking filler.

Crocodile Creek Mini Puzzles (£10)

A perfectly sized 12-piece puzzle for toddlers. Great for calming post-present excitement, keeping little ones entertained during family visits, or offering ten minutes of peace while you locate the last of the cranberry sauce.

Classic World My First Camera (£14.99)

A delightful wooden camera with a kaleidoscope-style lens. It sparks imaginative storytelling, helps children “play photographer”, and guarantees some very earnest pretend photo shoots around the Christmas tree.

Nattou Teddy Rattles (£9.99)

Soft, sweet and wonderfully gentle, these rattles make a lovely first Christmas keepsake. Easy to hold, comforting to cuddle, and reassuringly durable when enthusiastically dropped for the twentieth time.

A beautifully Danish-designed wooden pram, ready to delight on Christmas morning.
