Toy box?

[Sterla]

I need a toy box/basket (or two or three) of some kind for DS, as our lounge room is starting to become overrun with toys! I have one small basket, but that's overflowing.

What I'd like is a nice toy tub/basket (that's not too expensive) - one that looks kiddish but not tacky, iykwim? I have no idea where to look for something like that though. We don't have an Ikea or Big W here, and I've looked at Kmart and Target and they don't have much of anything?

Does anyone have any ideas of other places I could look?

TIA

I got a huge plastic box from kmart and decorated it with stickers

That's an idea .

Oh man, I just looked at the Ikea website - I wish we had an Ikea here!

You know the one in the girl's room and the box type one on the stand in the loungeroom? I got them online from deals direct.

I think I know the ones. I'll check them out .

Some of the cheapy shops, like the reject shop and so on often have baskets with lids, perhaps one of those?

We got ours from one of the $2 junk shops, they are black wicker with hinged lids (the hinges are actually leather straps) and lined with black & white fabric. They look quite good, decent size, cost $25 each I think.

Another idea is a small bookcase, this is what I'm thinking of doing for Moo's toys. I'm going to get a raw one and stain it myself so it'll be cheaper. I thought this way it can be used for other things as he grows up

CM we have done exactly that in our lounge, we have a 2 shelf (the ones that look like cubes), and then 2 x 3 shelf ones making "steps" against the wall, some of the plastic boxes fit in them so the wooden blocks etc go in them.....

I got a large felt (stronger than it sounds) bucket type thing from Howards Storage World. It's kind of the same shape/style as those plastic buckets you put ice in at parties but it's a bit smaller and looks better cause it's felt. Can't remember the price though.

kmart have colourful "pencil style" toy box's that are also like a seat thing... they are only $35 (on special this week), i laybuyed mine with some other stuff, so i havent seen itout of the box yet, so im not sure exactly how big it is or how sturdy!

I am getting a toy box and storage thing from toys r us. Im getting a disney princess one and i think they have a cars one.

No Toys R Us either!

Thanks for all the ideas - there's a few more places I can think of checking out now .
