Curiosity Club Subscription

If you’re hunting for a gift that’s both thoughtful and meaningful, a subscription to Curiosity Club from Arcana Living is an absolute winner. Aimed at children aged 7–12, each monthly box arrives with a beautifully illustrated Discovery Guide, hands‑on experiments and creative craft projects, a fold‑out poster, a postcard and sticker sheet, and a collectible patch or pin that features the species of the month — a keepsake they’ll treasure. As well as that, you get a  card game, and in the first box a Field Journal (perfect for recording discoveries), plus a simple parent guide so you know how to support your child’s explorations.

From a homeschooling mum’s perspective, it’s great value for money — the first box costs £16.50, and subsequent months around £22.50–£23.50 including UK tracked shipping. It offers so much more than a one‑off toy: multiple activities each month, screen‑free learning, and real opportunities for creativity, science exploration, and nature appreciation — all using materials you’re likely to already have at home. If you want a gift that gives kids months of wonder, learning and family fun, Curiosity Club really hits the spot.

Madd Gear MGP Pro Series Skateboard

The Madd Gear MGP Pro Series KONDA LE Complete Skateboard is a brilliant choice for kids who love skateboarding! My children all enjoy riding, and I love that it comes fully assembled and ready to go. For just £15, it’s amazing value compared to more expensive boards — the wheels are soft enough to ride over rough surfaces, the metal trucks feel sturdy, and the board itself is solid.

Girls will love the pattern on the bottom, and the wide deck makes it easier for beginners to balance. It is a little heavy, the wood isn’t top quality, and it can be a bit tricky to turn, but for kids just starting out, it’s perfect. Overall, it’s a fun, affordable, and eye-catching board that’s great for getting the basics done safely.

Perfect for 2-4 players aged 7+, the game has wooden pieces, colourful boards, and question cards that cover capitals, countries, continents, and more. Kids earn points, fill their personal genius passport, and even face fun forfeits along the way. My children love it, and it’s a great way to sneak in some geography learning without it feeling like homework. Quick rounds, sustainable materials, and plenty of laughs make it an ideal gift for birthdays or family game nights – though you might see a few repeated questions after a couple of plays!
