I also saw some in primark but the spoon was plastic rather than a wooden one.

As he will have no idea what is going on, I have wrapped some clothes in the next size up, and some toys from a charity shop. I figure the day will be overwhelming enough with visitors etc, and I'd rather pop money into a savings account for him. The real fun will begin when he is aware!
