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 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 - making kids smile is 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 Favourite Wicked Uncle and his Crinkly Reading Material

Very prompt dispatch, well packaged. Great product — crinkly Nursery Times books, ideal for babies from about six months to shakegleefully (fortunately the sound is not at all trying or challenging for adult ears) and then later to look at the pictures in between the gleeful shakes. Great for grandparents too. Wicked Uncle has a good range of Nursery Times titles of this excellent product.
