thanks for the ideas - a lot of them we already have (as expected) but a few we don't so will look into the options.

Cailin - trains and animals are his favourites but we have Thomas stuff coming out our ears and I don't know whether we could fit more really.

Trillian - you are definitely right about books - it is always my back up cause I'm of the same theory - can never have too many.

anyway keep anymore ideas coming and I'll check out some already mentioned that we don't have.
