I recently shared some alternative gift ideas which are more of an investment to your child than a toy. Have a look and see if something takes your eye...I am going down the route of an day out for my children as an extra treat this year:) www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/ellie-widdowson/how-to-avoid-a-toy-graveyard-this-christmas_b_6268122.html
