Frequently Asked Questions

What's best to buy an 8 year old for their birthday?

8 year old boys love learning and participating in the world around them. For a truly unique birthday gift why not get the Air Engine Car Kit or very popular Axe Throwing Game.

What should you buy an 8 year old boy?

Eight year old boys develop more complex cognitive skills and are able to keep their focus and attention for longer periods. Popular and engaging gift options for this age group are the Solar Powered Rover Kit and very popular Axe Throwing Game

What are 8 year old boys into?

8 year old boys love to build and put together construction sets and still enjoy racing cars and flying airplanes, like the Force Drone. At this age, boys are still full of boundless energy for play, like the very popular Axe Throwing Game

How much sleep should an 8 year old get?

Whilst all children are different, it is recommended that an 8 year old boy gets between 9 to 12 hours of sleep a night. As they are fully in the swing of going to school now, research has shown that children who go to sleep before 9PM tend to get more sleep and sleep better at night.

What are your top gift ideas for an 8 year old boy?

Our top gift ideas for 8 year old boys include the Mega Spin Gravity Yo-Yo which lights up and automatically returns to your hand, Force Drone which you control with your hand and the very popular Axe Throwing Game, perfect!

Lisa E 30 Mar 2026

Overpriced toys

Son received a voucher for his birthday. Thought the toys were overpriced and not much he wanted. Ended up with a Mega Ball, which is good fun, butprobably not worth £15+ postage. Wouldn’t buy from this online shop again.Our Response:Glad to hear your son liked the Mega Ball, the 2.5 metre giant inflatable ball. That's what we do, provide a great range of fun and unusual presents and are often commended on value for money and excellent quality.

Plenty of good ideas for children of all ages. Parcels delivered as promised. As far as I know, gifts are high quality and always seem to delight therecipients. Whenever I've had queries or needed to modify an order, I've had prompt, pleasant, efficient response. This should be unremarkable, but these days it seems to be increasingly rare. So thank you Wicked Uncle for your attention to detail. It is very much appreciated.

Christine Davies 28 Mar 2026

Very helpful human customer service

When my package hadn't arrived, I tried to track via Royal Mail and could find no information other than they'd taken it to a designatedplace, but wouldn't tell me where that was. I called Wicked Uncle for help - they were INCREDIBLE! A real human being picked up the phone to me, she was very empathetic and understanding about my frustration with Royal Mail. She said she would look into it and update me by the end of the day. Within an hour, I had an email telling me where my parcel was, enabling me to collect it. Wicked Uncle even reminded me to take ID to collect the parcel. In a world of chatbots, Wicked Uncle is refreshingly human.
