#8. Anki Cozmo Interactive Robot Toy
Main product features…
- Cozmo is a real-life robot like you’ve only seen in the movies and he’s ready to be your loyal sidekick
- Challenge Cozmo to games or use Explorer Mode to see things from his perspective
- With a beginner-friendly interface, Cozmo is the perfect educational robot for kids and adults to learn to creatively code
- Easier than you’d think and tougher than he looks, this toy robot is tested for durability and security
- Cozmo by Anki requirements: a compatible iOS or Android device and the free Cozmo app
- Includes 1 Cozmo robot, 3 Cubes, and 1 charger (USB power adapter not included)
Our Reasons For Choosing…
We just love this little guy and so it seems do kids and adults alike everywhere!
Once you have him charged up, and tuned up via the free app that comes with him, what you get can seem at times more like a programmable pet than a toy…
In fact if your Cozmo robot was covered in fur you might swear that he is actually alive!!!
He is surprisingly easy to code and among a whole host of other things, you can even get him to dance and sneeze!
But the thing we really love about Cozmo is that he actually has intelligence and a personality, and the longer you interact with him, the more his personality develops…just like when you build a relationship with another person, or a pet…
He can recognize you by your face, and even greet you. And when he beats you at any of the games you can play with him, he even laughs…
The Anki Cozmo will even give you a nudge when he wants to play, and if you don’t play with him he’ll just go off and do his own thing…remind you of anyone?
This will be a massive hit this Christmas with kids who love robots, coding, and making new friends.

#9. LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Express 75955 Building Kit
The Main Features…
- Build a LEGO Hogwarts Express train set, with removable side panel and roof, plus railway bridge and Platform 9¾, then begin your own magical journey
- This Harry Potter set includes Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, Remus Lupin, the Trolley Witch and Harry Potter figures, plus Dementor and Scabbers figures
- The Hogwarts Express train replica measures over 3” (9cm) high, 18” (46cm) long and 1” (5cm) wide
- 801 pieces – Harry Potter toy building kit for boys and girls aged between 8 and 14 and for fans and big kids of all ages
- This LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Express 75955 construction toy can be built together with all other original LEGO sets and LEGO bricks for creative play
Our Reasons For Choosing…
We chose this toy because kids just love Harry Potter, and Lego too, and when both are combined as they are here it makes for far more than just double the fun!
First off, kids can build their very own replica of the Hogwarts Express
They can also build their own Platform 9 ¾, also from the movies with a stairway, a gantry and even a clock and a newspaper stand…
And there are also 10 minifigures which kids can use to recreate their favorite movie scenes, and even create new ones of their very own…
Another feature of this toy we think is really cool is the removable side panel and roof which allow kids to play in even more detail for even more fun…
The only downside to a toy like this is the speed with which they sell so unfortunately there is bound to be some disappointment when stocks run out.

Kids love petting their Pomsies and seeing their eyes light up and change color according to how they are feeling.
They also make over 50 cute little purring sounds according to where you stroke them, just like a real pet…
And Pomsies also have a wrap around tail that allows them to be attached to just about anything-a leg, a wrist, a kids backpack, making them the ‘go everywhere’ toy that kids won’t want to be without.
