    My DS was only 4 months old last Christmas, I must admit we gave him A LOT! But I felt that if we gave him toys etc that he could grow into then it'd save us buying more and more through the year IYKWIM? It has been handy to pull new things out that he hadn't seen before and we really didn't buy him much else before his birthday in August. We stuck mostly with nice wooden things that would last.

    We're going to get DD some wooden toys - will check out that website Kate!

    My mum has gone nuts though, and apparently there are a few parcels on their way to us now So we're not getting DD a lot, in fact probably just one thing from us as the rest of the family seem to think that an 8 month old needs X, Y and Z.

    *sigh*

    did you find anything you like?

    i love all the bath toys, and thinking of getting the 'Rainstick Tower' (in the 0-12 months section) or 'Rainbow Nesting boxes' (in the Specials section) for Christmas

    I love the wooden toy with the wires and cubes that you pull and stack on the wires. DD loves playing with those when some of her friends have them. I was going to go to Ikea to get one but I really love the one on that site.
    Thanks for the recommendation!
