I know its early but we want to get organised with me being on mat leave and skint!

What are you getting LO's this year?

Alice will be 21 months and Edith 3 months and i am at a bloody loss

(apart from elmo alive but i think thats more for me and Adam)

Thinking of a chicco guitar and a dolly and pram for caelyn

Wil's having a scooter

I am not sure yet, but I was thinking about a dolls house, they all say 3 years plus, or a kitchen set - you know something that she can pretend play with

Its harder this year for sure though!

Edith should be easy though - they don't mind what they get at that age!

We already have dolls and prams/puschairs.

musical stuff sounds good, she loves dancing about mmmmmm thanks Mario




ooh yeah, you just reminded me. Ikea have THE BEST kitchen in ever for £65

I was thinking about getting that kitchen but I probs won't - hubby is quite tight lol. Also bought a dolls house. I think we'll just get an easel and some art stuff. x

The other thing im tempted by is a computer programme you can load that locks the keyboard out but does shapes and colours, she has a reading and maths programme she uses on the computer already and is obsessed by it but cant touch the keys as it mucks it up and shes depserate too

haya!!

i have bought braden a set of huge jcb trucks and some metal thomas tank engines to start his collection off!
and for dita i have bought her a little kitchen!

I have already got a couple of small bits like dress up sets and shoes (lily is obsessed with putting shoes on!) and I was looking at the kitchens too but not sure where it could go and not be really in the way.... The iKEA one is fab

Lily likes the happyland stuff from ELC so might get couple of bits from that and she also likes the vacuum so might get her a play one.

are you on a PC? if so you could get a wireless keyboard - then just pull the usb dongle out when you want it off! or just put it on a drawer

Happy Land is fab Kate we have tons of it and not much room

Mario, that sounds fab too, have you got a link, she is always bashing away on the PC keyboard.

I have no idea whatsoever what to get him! He will be 14 months old, any ideas?

No its a lappy Lisa.
Will try and find the link and post it brb

That looks really good - i didnt know you could get things like that so thanks for posting the link!

at the minute a trampoline !

I have already got Aimee's... she has got:

A Disney Princess Kitchen
A toy hoover
A toy washing machine
A cashiers till
A shopping trolly with lots of items in
Clothes
An Aquadoodle - but she has had that early

Last year she got a Baby Annabelle, last year and she is really starting to love playing with her, so I also got her a baby Annabelle starter set which includes nappies, bottles, dummy, etc. as it will fall just as the new baby is due, so she can help out.

they are the kinds of things I was thinking about - like role pay ideas -cos she loves to sweep, help with laundry and clean lol
Izzy had the Annbelle - she likes it more now but still doesnt play much with her...hopefully soon!

I was thinking about gettin the trolley with the play food inside and a till (even tho he still lil young for it) but oh thinks he will play with them xx

we have decided to get aquadraw, indoor folding toddler slide (wwe dont have garden) and his own chair or beany chair xx

I think the aqua draw is definately a winner, just price checking it now and it seems to have come down since last year too which is a bonus.
