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.

Great selection and service.

Disappointed in this toy....so sad

I was so excited to get this amazing spinning remote control car for our great grandson for his birthday. I was very grateful that itarrived in tine for his birthday. When we got it, we were so very disappointed that after putting in the batteries and having it charged it only lasted 12 minutes minutes of playtime and it takes 106 minutes to charge with a UCB charger. We were SO DISAPPOINTED!!!!!!!!! I would not recommend this toy, it is adorable though and for the 12 minutes it was super fun.

Delivery unreliable

The products, wrapping and cards are all wonderful. You need to seriously consider someone besides USPS for delivery. A present ordered 5/8 has still today, 5/21, not yetbeen delivered. The destination is St. Louis, MO area, so not somewhere half-way around the world. I realize the postal service failing to deliver in a timely manner is not under your control, but choice of a delivery service is

Wicked Uncle really delivers! Products are usually unique and capture child's interest. I regret that she is aging out of the WU cohort.

Great gift ideas and customization for child.

I love the website and ability to customize each child I am looking to buy for. The product choices were great. The onlydownfall was that one of the items didn't even make it 24 hours with my nephew before it broke. The other item is doing great!

Underwhelmed

Delivery was fast but the quality of the product was poor. I got the steel bubbles and they not only popped like regular bubbles, they left a sticky residueeverywhere. You cannot pick them up, they don't harden and it was saddening after my daughter told her friends about the present and they built up anticipation and we were sorely UNDERWHELMED.Our Response:We're sorry you feel this way. They aren't "steel bubbles", they are called "Bubbles of Steel" to be cheeky. We play with them in the office and have a grand time. It sounds as though you didn't give them the few seconds they need to harden properly. Please try using them according to directions and we're sure all will be well :-)

Once Again, a Happy Customer

Excellant! I forgot to tell the color of the ball when I placed the order. Called a day later to request the color blue (mygrandson's favorite color). The elf I spoke with put me on hold to make sure they had a blue ball. They did and now I have the blue ball. The elf that helped me went the extra mile. She deserves a raise. Please express to her my gratitude. Thanks!
