About Us

The Concept Behind Childrens Gift Hampers

Childrens Gift Ideas (The Imagination Station) are passionate about toys and gifts that inspire the art of play. Our core values compel us to actively seek out the best manufacturers, offer the most innovative toys, and give our customers the very highest level of service. These values have helped us remain at the forefront of the toys and gifts industry in the UK and worldwide, selling gifts for boys and girls that are cherished far beyond their price tag.

Childrens Gift Ideas are now proud to introduce an exciting new concept in gifts for kids, a brand new range of children's gift hampers, baskets & Boxes that bring a fresh perspective to our product range! It is something of a tradition here at Childrens Gift Ideas to continually push the boundaries in the quality and service we offer to our customers. These new children's gift hampers will be a wonderful accompaniment to our children's gift baskets and gift boxes to take our product range to the next level of "wow" factor.

We have a range of ‘boy gift hamper' and ‘girl gift hamper' selections, each one carefully packaged with items that complement one another in themes such as arts and crafts, sporting games along with out door activity & travel games. Each of our children's gift hampers whether it be a gift box, basket or hamper is beautifully wrapped and presented, making them the sort of extra special children's gifts that are an absolute joy to give as well as receive.

Imagine a first birthday gift for a baby boy that consists of a magical set of toys and gifts perfectly selected for the little 12-month old chap, presented in a gift hamper that will have onlookers wowed before it is even opened. Baby girls' 1^st birthdays are covered too, with beautiful first birthday gift hampers that will be photographed for posterity and reluctantly opened to get at the bounty inside.

Like all of our children's gifts, each of the gift hampers for girls and boys are comprised of toys, games and other items specifically chosen by our experienced team for their inspirational and expressive qualities, as well as their safety and build quality. These are gifts that will bring a smile to the face of any child who receives them, with thoughtful presentation including a gift card and a big bow to create something truly spectacular. With birthdays, Easter and Christmas gifts for children a constant struggle to find, our gift boxes, baskets and hampers will prove invaluable to frustrated shoppers.

The new range of gift boxes, baskets & hampers for children will be expanded over time as we find exciting new products to supplement our current stock. Our selection of ‘get well' gifts, ‘well done' gifts, ‘congratulations' gifts and travel gifts is already something we're very pleased with, but never keen to rest on our laurels, we will continue the search for the best quality toys on the market to form part of our dazzling collection of kids' gift hampers, baskets  & Boxes.

Children Educational Toys

Education & Our Guiding Principles

The imagination Station has gone from strength to strength on the back of these principles, which tie in perfectly with the government’s own standards on learning and development in children from birth to 5 years, known as the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). These principles outline what researchers have found to be the best way to encourage learning and development in children, particularly in those critical first 5 years.

Among the key factors set out by the EYFS guidelines is the importance of playtime in encouraging learning, communication, self-expression and forming relationships. This is why it is so important to choose toys that support these EYFS ideals. It is also the reason why The Imagination Station catalogue is filled with toys that exhibit quality, value and durability, creating a framework for learning and development, and all in the name of playtime fun!

Quality and Safety

We know you expect your childrens toys to be safe and of a high standard.  All our toys meet the various international standards, many of them exceed the minimum standards.

Meet The Toy Team

Woody The Wizard

Woody was born in the sleepy village of Goomtrobble just off junction 29 off the M25.  He is the son of the innovative toy maker Giftus The Great.  From an early age Giftus recognised a talent in young Woody for designing and making fantastical toys and games.  Learning from his father's genius he set out on a quest seeking the very best imaginative toys and gifts to fill his newly purchased toy shop.  Hence forth Imagination Station was born.

We look forward to seeing you in our toy shop.

Flo The Fairy

Flo and Woody met in the Forest of Goomtrobble and it was love at first sight.  Flo shared Woody's passion for creative and imaginative toys.  Behind every good Wizard there is an even better Fairy and this is true in the case of Flo and Woody.  Flo tames Woody's erratic and sometimes irrational thoughts and helps him channel them into constructive thoughts and processes.  Flo gets to do a lot of exciting stuff (so Woody tells her) like the accounts, the tax returns and the VAT returns.  What more could a Fairy ask?

Naggy Maggie

Everyone knows a Naggy Maggie.  Here in the Woody Toyshop we love our Naggy Maggie.  She does a wonderful job of...well...nagging really.  All packages must be neatly packaged, correctly addressed, ribbons tied nicely prior to posting.  If it doesn't meet Maggie's strict approval it doesn't get sent.  She's like an ancient form of quality control.  We love you really Naggy Maggie! 

Tearaway Terry

Our lovely adorable Tearaway Terry.  Bit of a loose cannon.  His job is to ensure the truck is loaded on time, with the gifts and toys neatly stacked and that there is no danger of damage to any package.  He gets his name from his unique driving skills which leaves even those amongst us with a strong constitution cowering in the corner of the Toy Shop refusing to travel with him.

Sorcerer Sally

Ahh lovely Sorcerer Sally.  But you wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of her.  With one wave of her little magic stick she could have you grow ears and a tail like an Ass.  However on a good day she only uses her magic stick for good deeds.  Like sourcing new gifts for kids, making the sun shine, tidying the Woody Toy Shop or improving Tearaway Terry's driving skills.

Winnie the Webmaster

Webmasters could also be known as wizards couldn't they?  How they do half the stuff they do is beyond me.  It must be magic.
