Black Friday has been and gone, London\u2019s festive markets<\/a>, Christmas shops<\/a> and department stores<\/a> are buzzing with activity, and the big day is less than three weeks away. So if you haven\u2019t already made some serious headway on your gift shopping, you might be starting to feel a little panicked.<\/p>\n

But don\u2019t worry about it! Time Out\u2019s 2025 Christmas Gift Guide<\/a> just landed, and it\u2019s packed full of great pressie ideas, from nifty gadgets and stylish accessories to covetable homeware and fun stocking fillers.<\/p>\n

And we\u2019ve\u00a0also got some excellent ideas for what to get the small people in your life. Landed your primary school-aged cousin in the family Secret Santa, or got a boisterous little niece or nephew you usually get a little something for? Time Out\u2019s Theatre Editor and resident kids\u2019 expert Andrzej Lukowski has picked out the perfect thing; these cutesy little things from the venerable toymakers Ty (of Beanie Babies fame).\u00a0<\/p>\n

Setting you back less than the price of a central London pint, the Ty Beanie Bouncers<\/strong> have topped renowned toy shop Hamleys\u2019 list of the most in-demand toys for Christmas 2025. If you\u2019ve walked past the Regent Street shop in recent weeks, you might have noticed that its window display is dedicated to the colourful little spherical plushies.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Essentially a cross between a Beanie Baby and a bouncy ball, they come in a huge range of different designs, including the cheerful snowman pictured above, some adorable little animals, both real (we\u2019d die for Banana the Monkey<\/a>) and fantastical.<\/p>\n

\u2018It\u2019s being billed as part of shift back towards soft toys and away from electronics and gizmos,\u2019 Andrzej says of the little bouncing varmints. But they should be of interest to even the most screentime-pilled children too, as they\u2019ve also done tie-ins with a bunch of popular kids\u2019 TV shows and film franchises, from Peppa Pig, Bluey and Paw Patrol to Harry Potter, Disney and Marvel (we\u2019d probably commit actual murder for the Hulk Beanie Bouncer<\/a> too).\u00a0<\/p>\n

Essentially, there\u2019s a design that would be perfect for pretty much every kid you know. And at \u00a36.99 a go, you can afford to gift them all one.<\/p>\n
