I'm pregnant with my first child and I'm trying to buy everything (cot and mattress) second hand (mostly because we don't have that much money but also to be more environmentally friendly). I've found clothes quite easy and have got some really nice things but toys and general things for the nursery all seem really old and quite dated. I found a really nice Winnie the Pooh cuddly toy the other day at my local RSPCA charity shop but on the paw it had 1997 on it (was part of the design- it hadn't just been written on). Also I've seen a huge amount of Tweenies books (I know it would be a while until I'd be reading books like that to the baby but I still like to look)- the Tweenies aren't even on tv anymore! I've seen a bit of paw patrol stuff and a little bit of Pepper Pig (not very much at all though) but other than that it's mainly old stuff- the only children's curtains I've seen in a charity shop is Poddington Peas! I was just wondering if this is all pretty much the same for most charity shops or if there are ones that are better than others- possibly it is just the ones local to me though. Also, I get that babies don't mind if their stuff is old- I suppose this is more me just wondering!
