What we do and who we are

Children can seem a complete mystery.  What they eat is hard enough to work out, let alone what interesting toys they might want for their birthday.  And it is not always easy to remember birthdays.

We have scoured the world to find a really useful selection of fun, unusual and different presents for children.  We test every potential present before it goes on our website - we build the robot kits, paint the fairies, doodle with the pens, play the games and yes, we even wear the t-shirt! We can giftwrap your presents, send them direct with a handwritten birthday card and even send you a birthday reminder every year.

In the unlikely event that you get it wrong and you end up buying something that he or she already has or really doesn't like, then return the unused present to us and we will credit you so you can replace it with something else.

The Wicked Uncle Team

We are a community of small, pointy-eared elves based in a large warehouse in the the deep country somewhere over the rainbow near Elf Springs, MD with a mission to provide brilliant toys for boys and girls. The company was founded by a former employee of the multinational S. Claus Toy Corporation to do cool stuff all year round and have fun. We do lots of research on toys and many of them are extensively tested by real children.

Email us at support@wickeduncle.com 

Call our friendly team on (240) 766 8990. Monday - Friday 9-5pm EST.

Why are you called Wicked Uncle?

Because it sounds cool. And it is a great name for a toy shop.

PS A couple of random jokes that make us laugh:

What is brown and sticky ? A stick.

What is the best part about living in Switzerland ? Not sure, but the flag is a big plus.

How did the Yeti feel when he had the flu? Abominable.

If you become a customer and buy stacks of cool toys for boys and girls, we will send you even more of these brilliant jokes.

And finally, here is our favourite other site on the web. It is called Storynory and it is full of original, free audio stories for children. Great for bedtimes or car journeys. They have even written some stories about a really cool character called The Wicked Uncle inspired by us.

The Website

Our site was created by Sound in Theory in Exeter, Devon, UK.  It has also got a really neat backend which we are very proud of.  If you need an ecommerce site, give them a call. Tom Bates, tom@soundintheory.co.uk, Tel. 00 44 1392 499498.

Fast, accurate, same as the dozens of previous Wicked Uncle gifts I have ordered and sent for many years to many age groups of lucky kids.

One Little Suggestion

I loved the selection of gifts and easily found the perfect gift for my five year old granddaughter. Very easy to add gift wrap and a card.I also like that you are going to remind me of her birthday next year. My only suggestion is that you add a service of allowing me to order early but you time it so that she gets her present within a couple days of her birthday. I would pay extra for that!

Gloves do not work

I ordered gloves that flash in the dark and butterfly temp tattoos. Order arrived quickly. However one of the gloves wouldn’t work. The battery or itscasing seemed to be warped or something, They simply wouldn’t fit to connect. VERY disappointed 8 year old on her birthday.Our Response:We're sorry to hear you may have a faulty glove. You simply needed to reach out to us and we are happy to send out a replacement. We will email you directly now, to make that arrangement.

Great toy, delivery as promised

Ordering is easy, prices reasonable. The toy I ordered (a metal detector) arrived in just a couple of days. Shipping/delivery information was very specific. Iordered over a weekend, and WU took the guesswork out of that. I promptly received the order confirmation, tracking link and delivery notification. As for the toy, which was a gift for my grandson, the parents are competing for time with it too!
