Great gift ideas for girlsi and boys

Games and gadgets are high on the list of hot presents this year

CHRISTMAS is a time of family fun, a lot of good food and, of course, presents by the bucketload. This year there are some incredible toys and gadgets which would be great Christmas gifts for Beans.

Possibly the most popular electronic gift of this year is gaming giant Nintendo’s handheld console, the Switch, which has spawned dozens of games including critically acclaimed Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey.

Hatchimals have been a hot trend since last year – a toy which comes in an egg that will hatch by itself once you turn it on. Fun for boys and girls of all ages, Hatchimals are available online and in leading toy stores from R69.

One of the most anticipated movies for little girls this year was the My Little Pony Movie and sales of My Little Pony toys have gone through the roof. Toys R Us has the movie scene packs rated among its topselling toys of the year.

The Shox Raptor is a quadcopter drone you can fly outside on a sunny day. It comes with a high-quality camera so you can experience flying in first person and a control that allows you to control the drone with ease.

For game lovers, we suggest you check out Lego Dimensions, a video game similar to

Disney Infinity, but with Lego characters. Lego Dimensions is a fun action adventure game that allows you to build your own collection of characters, from the Justice League to the Avengers and much more. Lego Dimensions is available on PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.

Remember to keep a keen eye out for oddly shaped boxes; you might just be getting one of the things on this list.

The popular My Little Pony Movie has a number of associated toys.
