What we do and who we are

What does an Uncle buy a 6 year old girl for her birthday? Without asking her Mum! That's how it all started, over 15 years ago...

It's easy for parents, but what children want can seem a complete mystery to relatives. We wanted to help people like us. Aunts, Uncles and Grandparents now win favourite relative status, children's presents, sorted.

We offer a carefully chosen range of fun, unusual and genuinely engaging presents. Exciting gifts that spark curiosity, creativity and confidence - from hands-on science and nature kits to clever games and outdoor discoveries.

We test every potential present for fun, quality and value before it even goes on our website - we've built the robot kit, played with the fun games, doodled with the magic pens and worn the upside down goggles.

We offer the full present service - we can giftwrap your presents for you and send them with a handwritten card  or message. And we even send you a birthday reminder every year so you don't forget the Big Day.

The Wicked Uncle Team

Our happy team of helpful elves love to wrap and send presents for you that make children smile - it's a  fun job!

PJ day for the Elves

The team has recently been expanded to include Harvey the Dog, our bouncy spaniel.

Why are you called Wicked Uncle?

Because it means cool or awesome, or did, back in the day! The term "Wicked" may no longer be down with the kids, but anybody over 30 (or 40...) knows what we mean.

Couple of random jokes that make us laugh, which a Wicked Uncle would of course tell:

What is brown and sticky ? A stick.

My girlfriend said she was going to leave me because of my obsession with the Monkees. I thought she was joking. Then I saw her face.

(Editor, cutting edge with a Monkees joke?)

Our go-to for kids' presents

This is my 'go to' for presents for my little one and their friends. It may not always be the cheapest option but the presentsare very thoughtfully selected, promptly delivered (with gift wrap option) and they have always been a hit with whichever kid we've bought it for.

Wonderful Service

Due to the problems in the Middle East, my flight home from Thailand was cancelled and I could not get back for my Granddaughters 1st Birthday ??. Havingused Wicked Uncle previously, I realised they were an ideal solution for sending Birthday presents. I was able to choose gifts, individual wrapping paper & add personal messages for my 3 grandchildren. I was also able to send a 1st Birthday card which, on my return, was delighted to find had my message hand written inside. Well done Wicked Uncle.
