^^^ I know a few are pink but you can get unisex/boy versions...

She actually got loads but I cant remember! Mainly teething things, crinkly feely teddys, books, bath toys, stacking rings.... things for weaning eg nice bowls/plates..... leap frog elephant & lion, ITNG ball, clothes, pj's...

Most of the toys they can grow into... Im sure you have so much already from the older one's! Must be hard thinking of new ideas.

thats my problem, new ideas lol for ben any ways.

she's getting bugger all else

i've bought her some clothes and i'm going to do a wee stocking and get some bath toys cos she loves her bath. i want this.... http://www.elc.co.uk/Shape-Sorting-Bus---Pink/125752,default,pd.html but it's out of stock everywhere

i seen that in red for ben. was gonna get it tommo. they had loads of them in red and pink in EK mothercare :/

we got a few bits and pieces and these:

http://www.toysrus.co.uk/Babies-R-Us/Toys/Learning-Toys/Wooden-Noahs-Ark%280047027%29 (i know its for 12+ but i can't really see why)

http://www.jojomamanbebe.co.uk/sp+Brands-Taggies-Taggie-Balls+B3153 (which we already gave him oops, but he loves it and it helps him stabilise himself when he's trying to sit)

and this:

but that's all - i can't imagine he will have any concept of christmas so not going crazy haha

i like the cars ben isnt reaching out for stuff yet or even trying to sit sturdy. he dont look around either, just keeps his head screwed round to the right and holds holds his hands clasped in a vice grip.. so i wanted to get him stuff to entice him lol

i think the cars going down the ramp will be quite mesmerising so it might tempt him to reach for them? the ball is great, quite big and jingly and colourful and really easy to pick up cos the material is soft and loose and the tags are easy to get hold of so that might entice him a bit?
magic elephant has been really good for getting elijah interested in grabbing stuff too if you want something a bit more straight forward http://www.mothercare.com/Mothercare-Vintage-Elephant-Rattle/dp/B002GUZCZ0/sr=1-4/qid=1290462794/ref=sr_1_4/279-1773300-8889450?_encoding=UTF8&m=A2LBKNDJ2KZUGQ&n=42764041&mcb=core it's really easy to hold and makes a nice rattly noise without being too much

i bought http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.201-3560.aspx

seen it and couldnt resist

Arwyn has magic elephant too, it's the first thing she properly held.
i thought the shops would have it, it's just out of stock online. same thing happened last year with my nephew's christmas, everywhere said out of stock then i went to toys r us had they had loads i might just take a trip down there

what a bout (And you might have all this anyway so apologies)

baby walker
bumbo
bath toys like rubber ducky type things
ball pit type thing or inflatable nesty thing?
he had some foam blocks that rattled and with different textures
erm books, teddy?
hmmmm

we have all those and more hehe cause alasdair wasnt very hard on his toys i kept a lot and its al back out, washed and ready for re use

lol well just wrap them all up for him
save the moeny you would spend for when he's bigger and asking for ridiculously expenses label trainers or something

Im going to sound tight, but Im not getting her anything
I cant justify spending money for the sake of it. so Im just going to wrap up packs of nappies, wipes, few baby grows, and a cuddly toy or something and thats it. so Lillie can open it for her, so she doesnt think she hasnt had anything. but I cant justify spending on toys. we have most things already, we dont have the room and plus cant afford to spend for the sake of it.
I know she'l have loads from others and know my mum and family are giving her money as they are stuck also. what do you get a 2 month old?!? lol

^ i agree with that - elijah is in need of some new 'interesting' toys but tbh he has been getting them gradually haha so hopefully there will be something to open on christmas - but if not im not sure it matters! especially at 2 months, i dont think she is going to mind!
