Christmas Gift Guides for Kids 2021 – I think it’s often difficult to buy for kids of all ages but for different reasons. When they are little, they want everything they see, and the difficulty is deciding which of the many things they want to get them. When they become tweens it is difficult as they either can not think of anything they want or they want really overpriced ‘merch’ from their favourite YouTuber. As they get older again they want really expensive tech items like iPhones, new computers and game systems. So, while I can’t solve these problems for you, I can give you some suggestions of the latest gifts out there for various ages.

Highland Cow with Sound
Our top selling toy, the famous Living Nature Highland Cow (otherwise known here in Scotland as a Heilan’ Coo!) is a wonderful plush crafted to look like the real thing.
This farmyard stuffed animal which is based on a rustic breed of cattle from the Scottish Islands and the Outer Hebrides, has a long shaggy coat, long pointed horns and built-in sound! Press his hoof to hear him “Moo!”.
As their name suggests, the Highland Cow originates from the Scottish Highlands. No wonder then that they are covered from head to toe in fur. Their shaggy coat isn’t hard to miss and keeps them warm in this cold climate. They come in all sorts of colours – yellow, black and even white, but the most popular is our ginger friend.
