Gifts by Age
Toddlers & Pre-school (Ages 1-5)
For younger children, safety, sturdiness and simple fun matter most. Soft toys and easy to use pull-back planes are ideal. Our RAF Red Arrows Teddy Bear is a cuddly companion dressed in an authentic flight suit, making it ideal for bedtime, travel or role-play. Alongside this, the Blue Plush Airplane is a soft, lightweight toy thats easy for small hands to hold, carry and 'fly' around the house. Together, these gifts help build early imaginative skills while keeping little ones entertained with friendly, aviation-inspired designs.
Young Kids (Ages 6-10)
For children in the 6-10 age range, toys that combine action, imagination and realism tend to be a big hit. The Premier Plane Pull Back Airport Set - a complete play set including a jet with flashing lights and sounds, a helicopter, airport bus, road mat and accessories - brings the excitement of an airport runway straight into the playroom.
Alongside that, the Space Shuttle Discovery Pull Back Toy adds a fun twist for kids who love space and flight. With its pull-back action plus lights and sound, it encourages both imaginative play and active movement. These toys are excellent for long stretches of playtime, whether kids are recreating an airport take off or launching a shuttle into orbit for creative flight adventures.
Older Kids & Junior Collectors (Ages 11+)
For older children or budding collectors, the die-cast aircraft models offer a different kind of appeal - a mix of realism, detail and collectability. A perfect example is the Hot Wings B-17 Flying Fortress, a scale-model plane that works equally well as a display piece or a toy. While its sturdy die-cast construction, connectible runway system and collector card with flight specs, it gives a sense of owning a real piece of aviation history.
Complimenting this, the Daron F-117 Nighthawk Brick Building Set offers a fun construction challenge, letting kids build their own stealth jet piece by piece. These gifts are perfect for older kids who enjoy collecting, constructing and displaying aircraft, making them thoughtful and lasting Christmas presents.
Why Aviation Gifts Make Great Christmas Presents
Aviation toys stand out from typical gifts: they spark creativity, encourage imaginative play, and can appeal across ages. They offer a fun mix of action (zooming planes), learning (building kits), and exploration (outdoor flights). Plus, with such a wide range, they’re easy to match to a child’s age, interests or personality.
And because aviation-themed gifts tend to be more unique than standard toys, they often feel more memorable - something a child will treasure long after the wrapping paper is gone.
Get Your Christmas Gifts in Time
To make sure your little pilot gets their gift before Christmas, we recommend ordering early. With many items in high demand during the festive season, some popular pull-back planes and kites tend to sell out quickly. Ordering before late-December is wise to avoid disappointment.
