I realise I’m extra early but I suppose that’s the point of this forum 😆I’ve also just started maternity leave waiting for DC number 2 so I’m occupying myself!

My DD will be 2.5 for Christmas and I’m after all your stocking filler & main Christmas presents ideas.

I also have a nephew who turns 3 in January and is obsessed with cars but mum doesn’t wasn’t any more car items in the house for her own sanity, we generally set a budget of £30 but we’re quite loose with it.

On my DDs list of ideas so far are:
Brio train set (second hand- I’ve already started collecting bits for this)
A shop till (she’s obsessed with pretend scanning things and making the beep noise)
Dress up items such as clip clop shoes and wand
A little town play mat & figurines
IKEA easel

Stocking filler ideas
bath bombs
chocolate lolly
Toothbrush
books
play doh
socks

I love reading other peoples lists and ideas!

my kids are older now but I thought this looked fantastic. I’d absolutely have bought this if they were little.

I will have a 20 month old by Christmas. I'm thinking about one of the toddler rollercoasters, or some sort of climbing frame for the garden. He's the youngest of 6 so we already have pretty much every toy going! I did part with all of our Happyland before we had him, and the others have all enjoyed playing with that, so that could be another option.

For stockings, I do the same for everyone:
Underwear
Socks
Small toy
Book/Magazine
Chocolate Orange
A drink and snack
Chocolate coins
This year I might add a mystery bag

One of my friends has that rollercoaster and the kids go mental for it, unfortunately our garden is on a slope otherwise it’d be on our Christmas list too!

We have the rollercoaster and it’s a hit with all the kids. We use it in the playroom and outdoors and my 4 year old has used it independently from around 2

I'm buying one of those soft annabell baby dolls suitable from birth for my niece who will be about 9 months x
