'I've cracked the code to my kids' Christmas gifts with these 10 finds.'

Thanks to our brand partner, DISNEY

The festive season always seems to sneak up on us, and suddenly we're smack bang in the middle of a pre-Christmas whirlwind.

Right now, my brain feels like it's buzzing with a million little reminders for the weeks ahead. The only thing keeping me sane? Knowing it all quietens down on December 26.

To calm my own panic — and maybe save a few fellow parents from the last-minute chaos — I've rounded up a list of my top Disney picks that are guaranteed to light up some little faces on Christmas morning.

There's a bit of everything here: options for all ages, plus a few practical everyday goodies thrown in.

Disney and Pixar Cars GRC Jumping Raceway Playset, $79.99

Zoom zoom! This is a must-have for young racing fans. Kids can race to win the Global Racers Cup on a crisscross track packed with tight turns and a daring jump that would even make Lightning McQueen nervous. Plus, it connects with other Cars playsets for an epic, super-sized racing adventure.

Disney Pixar Toy Story Action-Chop Buzz Lightyear, $69.99

This large, talking, action-chopping Buzz Lightyear will bring big thrills and laughter to fans of the space ranger.

He speaks 30 movie phrases, makes a chopping action with the touch of a button and comes complete with a helmet that opens and closes. Kids can relive all their favourite scenes on many secret missions in uncharted space.

Marvel Spider-Man Real Webs Ultimate Web Blaster, $35

It's every kid's dream come true — a wrist web shooter that actually fires gel-like webs you can play with. Kids will love pretending to be Spider-Man as they blast webs, trap the baddies and swing into action. It's also a fun accessory for Spider-Man costumes, adding extra excitement to dress-ups and imaginative play.

Marvel Avengers Hulk Gamma Smash Fists, $46

No-one is messing with these hands! Kids can look strong, bold and green like the Avenger himself with soft foam hands that perfectly mimic Hulk's massive fists. Grip bands inside make them easy to hold, keeping little heroes ready for action-packed pretend play.

Disney Tonie Audio Characters, from $20

Paired with a Toniebox, these beloved characters are all the rage, bringing a touch of Disney storytime magic to kids aged three and up.

All kids have to do is pop the Tonie on top of their Toniebox, and they're taken on an audio adventure (yep, no screens in sight). I especially love the Stitch Tonie for its fun songs and gentle lessons about love, family and friendship.

Personalised lunch and drink bottles, from $35

Functional and fun, this personalised range of lunch bags, boxes and bottles is turning everyday daycare, kinder and school lunches into something a little more special. Plus, their favourite characters make the perfect lunchtime companions.

Disney Frozen Stationary Kit, $15.97

Perfect for Frozen's biggest fans, this themed stationery kit is packed with fun essentials for school or home. It includes pencils, an eraser, a sharpener, a notebook and stickers — bringing a touch of Frozen magic to everyday writing and drawing.

LEGO® Disney Princess Castle and Royal Pets set, $149

This might just be the ultimate building playset for kids, sparking creativity and imaginative play for both girls and boys — while looking adorable on display. Featuring Disney minidoll characters and removable furniture, the possibilities are endless. And the best part? There's an opening waterfall with a treasure map to uncover and a hidden cave for secret adventures.

LEGO® Death Trooper and Night Trooper Battle Pack, $22

In these battles, it's a showdown between the Death Trooper and the Night Trooper — and only your little Star Wars fan can decide who will be victorious. With 119 pieces, this LEGO® set combines hands-on construction with endless hours of role-play.

Star Wars Forge Electronic Lightsaber, $44

Imagine harnessing the power of the Force in an epic lightsaber duel! With extendable light-up blades and electronic sound effects straight from a galaxy far, far away, kids here on Earth are in for some seriously exciting action.
