I am going to be trying and testing each and every thing I recommend, and only the items that I feel are worthy will be featured.
This week it's my suggestions of perfect gifts for Little Boys!
All of the items included can, of course, be suitable for little girls too!
1. Scooter
With realistic lights and sound effects, the toy Zinc Nitro light and sound Scooter will bring hours of fun.
No ordinary scooter, this Zinc scooter has both front and rear lights and even more awesome than that, it features real accelerating engine sounds and rear screeching brakes!Can you imagine how impressed your little chap would be with that in his stocking this Christmas?!Everything about the Zinc Nitro just looks COOL! I could hardly believe the price tag attached - just £29.99!!! Amazing value for a gift that any little boy would absolutely adore!Available from ww.argos.co.uk2. Star Wars Lego Nightlight and Keyrings
What male on this Earth doesn't love Star Wars?! Seriously I have never seen anybody so excited as my partner was when these goodies dropped through our letterbox earlier in the week - and he's 40 years old!!The Star Wars Keylights are little figures attached to a keyring which are strong illuminate even the darkest of hidey holes with just one push of a button!
There are 8 characters available including Darth Vader, Yoda and R2D2.
The keylights are available from Asda, Amazon and Tesco for just £6.99 and make a perfect stocking filler for any little boy this Christmas!
Another fab item in the range is the Desk Lamps!

This is a gift that will not only impress the little boys this year, but the big kids too!

Who doesn't want a Nerf gun?!
My partner has been desperate to play with this ever since it arrived for me to take a look at but of course...we're grown ups, I didn't let him play with it.
But my sister & I had to road test it just to see how good it was for the purpose of this guide - it was purely business of course, no fun was had....
Oh who am I kidding!!! The Nerf Gun is ENDLESS fun for kids of ALL ages (fully grown ones included!) - it blasts at an IMPRESSIVE rate of 3.2 darts per second, making it the fastest elite blaster ever!
I defy any school age boy not to have hours of fun with this! This gift would send you straight to the top of the cool parents/aunts/uncles/grandparents list - guaranteed!!!
