Best Christmas Gift Ideas

You don't need to go all out and spend lots of money on children this young because to be perfectly honest they're just not going to remember. In fact they might well prefer the gift wrap and the box that the toy comes in! Here are five of the best Christmas toys for the babies in your family.

Sophie the Giraffe Teether

Not so much a toy, more a life saver for mom when the little one starts teething. It's freaky how babies know to put this giraffe in their mouths as soon as you remove it from the packaging. It's great for them to gnaw on and it soothes sore gums, especially if you pop it in the fridge for a little while beforehand.  [ FROM HERE ]

VTech Sit-to-Stand Walker

One minute the baby is happy just sitting on the floor to play, and the next they're grabbing hold of everything trying to pull themselves up onto their feet. This sit-to-stand walker is brilliant because the little one can use it sitting on the floor, but it's sturdy enough for them to use it to pull themselves up without it toppling over and landing on their head. And in true VTech style it's educational too so you really can't go wrong.

Bright Starts Stack and Teethe

Stacking toys are brilliant for motor-skills, hand-eye co-ordination, and just generally for gnawing on! This set has the added bonus of each ring being a different texture which makes them easy to grasp.
