Amazon's top toys for Christmas 2026 gifting start from just £8

Tinsel, baubles and stocking fillers line the shelves; beauty advent calendars are selling out, and Christmas TV adverts are now launching daily. The big day will be here before you know it – and Amazon is making Christmas gift shopping that little bit easier with its 2026 top toys list.

The online giant’s expert buyers have unveiled its “Toys We Love”. Proving big gifts don’t need to cost a lot, most products on the 13-strong list cost less than £100, and six are less than £20.

Highlights include a new twist on the classic UNO card game, a Playmobil space rocket for budding astronauts and a Lexibook StarCam for children who want to practise their photography.

Encouraging screen-free play, there are building kits, surprise collectables and imaginative playsets for children of all interests and ages.

Amazon experts have picked their top 10 toys for Christmas 2026

Amazon

For the fourth year in a row, Amazon is donating hundreds of toys to families struggling with the cost of living this Christmas through its partnership with the charity The Multibank.

The presents will be delivered in a giant toy chest to six Multibank sites across the UK, including London, Greater Manchester, Birmingham, Tees Valley, Fife and Swansea, before being distributed to families in need.

The charity, which provides everything from nappies and toiletries to household essentials, has already distributed more than 23 million items, supporting more than three million families across Britain.

Bob Garmory, chief executive officer at The Multibank, said: “For families facing financial pressures, this time of year can be particularly challenging, with the rising cost of everyday life making it harder to create special moments for their children.”
