Are you looking for inspiration for Xmas gifts? I don't know about you but every year there are always people who I struggle to buy for so here's our suggestions for some of those gift dilemmas.
I think there is an assumption that children are easy to buy for but unless you are buying for your own child, you generally have no idea of what they already have or what they really like. To try and help you through this process, we at Best Years have come up with some suggestions for some of your dilemmas. If we have not covered your relative in this list, please do get in touch and we will see what ideas we can come up with. All the following suggestions are available from Best Years
For your Loud Two Year Old Nephew
Given that he is more than capable of making enough noise on his own without the help of more noisy toys how about a knitted Highland Cow toy in a stripe jumper? They are soft enough for cuddles when tiredness kicks in but robust enough for the most energetic of toddler play. Machine washable which parents will appreciate - particularly if the Highland Cow decides to join you at the Xmas dinner table. RRP £18.99
For the Budding Paleontologist
Children are generally fascinated by fossils and dinosaurs but there are only so many plastic dinosaur models any home can take. How about a knitted dinosaur toy instead? We have a range of dinosaur toys starting with dinosaur rattles at £11.99 and dinosaur toys from £17.99. You can chose from a T Rex dinosaur toy, Diplodocus, Triceratops, Stegosaurus dinosaur toy or even a Pterodactyl. Our dinosaur toys are knitted in vibrant colours and we even have a stripy T Rex. You are sure to find the perfect gift for your budding Paleontologist.
For Baby's First Christmas
If there is a new baby in the house, it is a time of celebration and great joy but often the parents have already bought everything the baby needs and are then overwhelmed with presents. What do you then buy a few weeks later for Baby's first Christmas? They are too young for toys and probably have all the clothes they need, so how about marking that first Christmas with a cute sausage dog rattle? These rattles make a soft, soothing sound and the bright stripes are stimulating for baby making this a cute sensory toy. And this sausage dog can be popped in the washing machine and needs no feeding or walks! RRP £11.99
For Your Granddaughter
Many girls have a pony mad phase which sometimes passes quickly but for others this results in riding lessons, pony club camps and years of fun and friendship. If your young granddaughter is showing interest in ponies, why not buy her an organic cotton pony soft toy? This sweet pony is soft enough for cuddles but also ideal to take on adventures and will be perfect for pretend play. An ideal BFF for your granddaughter and it is machine washable so there is no need to worry about it getting dirty if taken out and about. RRP £17.99
