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.

Bungee balls

Very disappointed. I won’t order again. After several orders, I give up. Poor quality products. The latest order was for four bungee balls. Upon opening two of thepackages, the strings immediately detached from the ball. The third one detached after two days of play.Our Response:We're sad to see your review, as you've been ordering from us for a few years with no complaints. The length of elastic that attaches the Bungee Ball to the wrist strap is designed to be adjusted. It comes loosely tied for this reason, and may appear to have come loose – you can simply cut and re-tie it to fit. We will also reach out via email to ensure there isn't a problem with your order.

Wonderful customer service!

They went the extra mile to make sure my delivery got to it's destination for Valentines day after delivery service returned to WU because my grandson's name was not on apartment lease.

Very cheaply made cracker jack junk

The service was ok. Merchandise was cheesey and embarrassing. Obvious Chinese junk. A straw came in many pieces that could not even fit together, won't be shopping there again.Our Response:

Yea

Very helpful to a grandma

Susan Pene 17 Feb 2025

Exactly what I needed to help me give my grandson a gift he would enjoy without having to confer with his mom or dad.

Recent Customer 17 Feb 2025

Totally happy

Communication was good from time order was placed to when delivered. At first I was hesitant not knowing anything about the company. Also the parents of the children Ibought for had not heard of the company. It’s when I was getting updates on the order with tracking information on the delivery, that reassured me. Something in the communication seemed more personable than ordering from Amazon The gifts were perfect too!

Doing what you say you're going to do is not overrated

As usual I was under the gun for my granddaughter's birthday and wicked Uncle delivered on time wrapped andpulled. My sorry butt out of the fire. Thank you wicked Uncle. This is my second purchase and there will be more. I love it when things happen the way they're supposed to.

Coolest Aunt 3 years running thanks to Wicked Uncle!

Wicked Uncle is great and is the go-to for maintaining superiority at the “coolest Aunt in the world”! Here I find giftsthat the kids love, that the parents love the kids to have, and that are completely different than what you get from BigEvil.com
