(11/11/2008)

If you are out of ideas of what to buy the little angels this Christmas, look no further than Great Little Trading Co. and their range of gifts guaranteed to keep even the most active little ones amused and entertained all day.

Indulge in a little make believe this festive season with a wonderful collection of dress-up costumes. The magical fairy and ladybird dresses (both £35) are beautifully designed with layers of bright material to make any little girl feel like the perfect princess. Not to be left out, the boys can settle down to watch Pirates of the Caribbean in their very own pirate outfit (£35), complete with lined waistcoat, skull and cross bones headscarf and an eye patch, watch as they transform into the perfect Captain Jack Sparrow. If the Wild West is what tickles their fancy, the cool cowboy outfit (£28) is exactly what they need. Complete with matching waistcoat and hat, there’s sure to be a few renditions of “ride ‘em cowboy” ringing out.

Budding jockeys may long have dreamed of owning their own horse. Make their dreams come true with the classic wooden rocking horse (£80). This beautiful, classically designed horse will light up Christmas day and become a much loved family heir loom. If taking to the skies as a pilot is more up their street, the fabulous Monoplane promises a great flying experience (£80).

The Rocket (£155) is almost certainly going to inspire you to take the plunge and brave the weather, particularly Dad’s who will be vying for pole position. This cool three wheeled go cart is steered by leaning to the left or right and has an adjustable racing style seat and a high grade steel frame.

Don’t stress about a little burnt Christmas pud this year as your little fireman will be on hand to put out the flames with this wonderful convertible Fire Engine Book – a superb giant story book that can be transformed into a glorious fire engine. Or if your children like to help out in the kitchen, the Pretty Kitchen (£145) and the cool Retro kitchen (£115) will offer hours of culinary entertainment.

Once Christmas dinner is over, why not let the kids entertain you? The mini grand piano (£150) is a wonderful way for the kids to be creative and musical. In the solid style of a grand piano, the beautifully made toy is a wonderful present and will get the whole family singing carols around the Christmas tree. A perfect accompaniment is the cool Electric Guitar (£60). Ideal for the older kids and even the rocker in you, it features a built in amplifier, speaker and geared tuners with an output for an additional speaker or amp.
