Christmas shopping for little ones is my absolute fave, especially if you shop a little further afield than your local department store – and by further afield I totally mean mean online shopping not actually driving further away that would be ludicrous! If you are brave enough to escape licensed product :::::shudder:::: and the multitude of plastic toys that stock the aisles there are some beautiful {and ssshhhh, educational} options to fill the stockings this Christmas.
The Wooden Toybox asked me to visit their online store, do a bit of shopping and curate my top toy picks for Christmas. Truly, this was a harder job than it sounds even for an expert online shopper like myself as there are just way too many choices, and most of them are under $50!
Build up Peg Board $30. I purchased this for Nixies 1st birthday back in July and we love it! So good for fine motor skills and hand eye coordination, plus developing pattern building later on.
Firefighters $44 I added these to the list because every kid has vehicles to play with but no ‘MANS’ as Nix calls them, and these ‘MANS’ are SO cute!
Construction Site Peg Puzzle $12 This one is under the tree for Nixon {theoretically of course, because in reality the tree’s days are numbered #nonixonno}.
Sushi Selection $27
Gingerbread Baking Set $28 This is getting gifted to a friends little girls and it’s SO cute, and Christmassy!
City Fire Engine $48
UFO $40
Fix it Toolbox $25
My First Loom $29 Weaving!!!! Excite. I had a plastic-fantastic loom when I was a little girl and I loved it, plus hanging-woven-things are going for mega-bucks on Etsy right now, so maybe a loom for the whole family?
City Car Park $110 Boys, check. cars, check.
Round Activity Pond with Stand $129 This is on my wish list for our garden, nothing keeps my boys happier than playing with water.
The Farm Yard Set $90 Animals for the ‘MANS’ cute!
Runna Mini Trike $79 This is a balance bike for babes from 12 months! Nix is going to be all over this {helmets also available : )}
All Seasons Furnished House $235, not your average dolls house right?
Log Hauler $82
Gourmet Kitchen $150

Dave’s been on a work trip for 5 days so I’ve been solo-parenting – with my Mum, so I know that technically doesn’t count but I’m claiming it anyway. I’m exhausted. Thankfully the kids have been amazing, aside from the baby waking up pre-6am every …
