We made it! It’s the final day of our 12 Days of Christmas Giveaway and talk about going out with a BANG! The Wooden Toy Box Company have been super generous with the Runna Mini Balance Bike we gave away yesterday and now today we have this …
Told you that the prizes were just getting better. How amazing is this one!? The Wooden Toy Box is a Tauranga based business that prides themselves on being able to offer you a full range of quality wooden toys at permanently discounted prices. With over 400 products …
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
If you have been playing along with our 12 Days of Christmas Giveaway keep your eyes peeled for a couple of these toys and you could have some very happy kids on Christmas Day!

My Christmas shopping is progressing surprisingly well this year. I hate rush-shopping so have been steadily ticking items off my list for the past few months. The kids gifts are a different story however. The only presents locked in and ordered so far are books. And that …
Shortbread is such a holiday favourite isn’t it? I love it and always whip up a couple of batches each year to gift to our neighbours and friends. Instead of using my old faithful Christmas cookie cutters I used my round set this year and …
Ethan’s birthday is on Wednesday and he has been as notoriously hard to buy for this year as he is every year. Luckily his birthday is close enough to Christmas to be able to slide in this wicked advent calendar under the guise of a birthday prezzie.
E is a huge Smiggle fan so I just know he is going to love opening up 25 days worth of cute stationary treats.
RRP $30 from Smiggle stores.
We finished picking, packing and wrapping our families contribution to Operation Christmas Child this weekend. I have discovered that I am absolute rubbish at wrapping cardboard shoe boxes {how can it be so hard?}. I thought I would share what we included in our gift …
I am SO excited about this project, I can’t stop thinking about how awesome it is, how easy it is, how absolutely meaningful it is and how much we are going to enjoy putting it together with Ethan. Of course I discovered it on Create …
