Christmas Gifts for grandkids under £35: The ultimate guide for all ages

My children had this book when they were small and I also bought one for my baby niece last year. It's just so much fun. The book sings as you turn the pages. It's bright, cheery, and little ones absolutely love it. It makes the perfect gift for a baby.

This play and learn table is a perfect gift for a small baby as it'll really last. When baby is very small, you can just use the activity centre on the top, so they can sit up and play with it. As they grow, and begin to pull to standing, you can add the legs making it the perfect little play station.

Little ones love to emulate what they see us doing, and my 3 all enjoyed this driving toy. They used it at home when they could sit and then as they got bigger it also came with us in the car. With fun sound effects and bright colours it's a gift that'll last.

I feel I should apologize for the inclusion of this Fingerling but if I've had to put up with it then so should you. Finglerlings are cute little interactive pets that respond to being stroked, tickled, burped, bounced and more. Some (me) might say annoying, but I will admit there's something really sweet about seeing little ones being so loving towards a toy, and trust me, they'll love this.

For young children, learning dexterity is invaluable. This wooden beads set, from quality brand Melissa and Doug, is great for teaching fine motor skills but loads of fun at the same time. Get ready to wear multiple necklaces!

I can't tell you a child that hasn't loved a fishing game! This wooden one from Cool Joy is so much fun. I love the different fruits, ladybirds and fish. Wooden toys are always built to last too. This has endless possibilities.

You probably remember the joy of doing giant floor puzzles with your own children, so why not extend that fun to the grandkids as well? And let me tell you, dinosaurs are IN. I have that on good authority from my tiny niece!

Sometimes you don't need to know what it is, just that's very popular and on a good offer! Hatchimals are HUGE. Extremely popular with younger children they basically just hatch and respond to the owner's love. No, I don't really understand the fuss either, but I do know I've spent a small fortune on them! So when there's an offer on it is worth grabbing.

I didn't know what this was, and had to ask my son! However, it really is a great toy for digital kids in a digital world. Stitch - and indeed Disney - is always a popular buy, and this little box has 30 digital Disney characters that respond to tilts, taps and swipes. Perfect for those age 5-8 years.

This magnetic tile set does say suitable for 3 plus, but in my experience, older children get much better value out of it. My children have had magnetic tiles and I've also gifted them to friend's children too. They're full of endless possibility and encourage imaginative play.

Oh how we love Bananagrams! This game is a total classic and will last well into teenage years and beyond! It's fun for the whole family but ideal for older children who have a grasp of words and spelling and like a challenge. We play it so much, and it's great for taking on holiday or playing as a family at Christmas.

The classics are always the best! Operation is the perfect family game for Christmas and will really make children laugh - and those belly laughs are always the best! There's a reason Operation has stood the test of time; it's easy to play, good for all the family and so much fun.

My middle son loves anything Geography or Science related, and this geodes set was the perfect gift for my dad to give him. It's fascinating to break them open and discover the crystals hidden inside, and the kit comes with safety goggles and display stands for their discoveries.

Who doesn't love Jenga? The perfect Christmas game, older kids/ tweens will also enjoy playing this with their friends. And it lives on and on - the Jenga I bought my nephew is now at University with him.

Thank me later. You will be the BEST grandparent if you buy this for your grandkids this Christmas. Their parents might not thank you, but that's the joy of being a grandparent! This laser tag set is so much fun for big kids and will entertain them for hours.

Now, you might not appreciate this gift as much as your grandchild, but they'll be very pleased. This little karaoke machine has 2 mics and is easily portable so great for taking to friend's houses. In fact, you might want to encourage that!

Soap and Glory is the perfect set for teenage girls. Its fragrance is lovely; floral and light, and its products are top quality. This gift set from Boots is currently on a fantastic offer.

Children never grow out of LEGO - fact! Both my boys, at 16 and 15, have LEGO on their Christmas list, and this Baby Groot ties in nicely with their love for all things Marvel.

We are all huge fans of the TV show in my house, and this 1% Club Board game is definitely on our Christmas list. I especially love it as the questions don't rely on knowledge and are instead made up of various logic or reasoning puzzles. This means all of us, from 15 to 44, are on equal footing.

I bought this for my niece when she was at university. It was ideal for keeping a mug of tea or hot chocolate warm while she studied. you just plug it in and it has 2 different temperature settings to choose from, keeping drinks warm for hours.

I've saved the best til last. This is hands-down the best gift I ever bought. In the year everyone was saying they didn't know what to get my 19 year old nephew, I found this. Perfect for a season ticket holder that travels to away games a lot (as he does), this fun poster lets the user scratch off a new stadium each time they visit. A lovely unique gift.
