Ready for the end of the Winter gloom? Eagerly awaiting the arrival of Spring and the warmer weather that it will bring? Well we are! And we’d love to hear about what you have planned for Spring to keep us going through the wet and cold months.

Here’s what My 1st Years has to say: “We love Spring at My 1st Years, the clothes get a little lighter and the sky a little brighter making us all feel a little happier. Spring represents a new beginning and whether that’s beautiful blossoms starting to bloom or a new baby, there is something so exciting about the fresh new start ahead!”

My 1st Years have just released their Spring collection and would like you to take a look on their website here and select your favourite item from their new collection. Let us know what catches your eye (ideally with a link for everyone interested in your favourite).

We would also love to know what your plans are for the coming Spring. Any exciting outings or adventures planned for the Easter holidays? How about visits to the park, bike rides or beach trips? Maybe you’ve got a city break planned?

Tell us what you’re most looking forward to below and you will be entered into a prize draw to win a £300 voucher of your choice (from a list). My 1st Years will also be giving 4 MNers their favourite item they selected from their site!

Thanks and good luck!

I'm looking forward to being able to take my toddler to his favourite play Park with the big castle which unfortunately gets very slippy when it's wet, meaning we've had to avoid it for a while now. I'm also looking forward to the local wildlife Park being open on week days again so I can take him on my day off.

There's lots of lovely bits in that collection, this dressing gown is really cute, and this guitar looks very cool too cool for us lol.
Though my son would prefer the moon lamp or the other moon and stars bits as he's obsessed with the moon. He'd also love singing "row row row your boat", in this!

I loved the guitar. Our DS has recently been accepted into a children's hospice for respite care and we had a visit....they had a guitar in the music room and he was very taken with it!!!

We are looking forward to being able to utilise our outdoor space. We also have a DS with ASD and he needs to use the trampoline to burn off excess energy!
I'm sooooo looking forward to bike rides, walks and vitamin D au natural

Cute range. I do love personalised items - especially for gifts - though I suppose it does limit their use as hand-me-down’s. 5 year old DS would adore the guitar - he is always stoked to see things with his name on and he likes to ‘jam’ with DH when he (DH) practises playing the trumpet www.my1styears.com/personalised-grey-wooden-play-guitar.html ((dunno how to do short links on the app))

Can’t wait for the spring and longer days. We love to go on bike rides as a family and the DC both love picnics. I might be brave and try a family camping trip for the first time in the Easter holidays!!

This toy box is lovely, it would make a pretty addition to my daughters room. www.my1styears.com/pink-star-toy-chest.html

I am most looking forward to helping my son learn to ride his bicycle when spring comes and getting to spend more time outdoors with my baby.

I like this personalised train money box - ideal for a new baby or christening gift. The personalisation is a nice touch.

I’m looking for to lovely spring walks in the country and visits to the beach. Also playing sports outside again too

My favourite is this Xylophone
www.my1styears.com/personalised-grey-wooden-play-xylophone.html

For Spring, we'll be out in the garden. We've recently moved house and we didn't have any garden at all in the old house but now we have a fairly large garden. Unfortunately since moving in the weather hasn't allowed for much garden play so the kids can't wait for the finer weather.
We'll also be having some picnics if the weather allows.

I really love the Elephant Umbrella its so cute and would be grown up enough to be used even when shes older too.

Me and my 5 kids Love Spring time because we all really really love getting our wellies on and going to the farm to see the baby chickens and lambs. Sometimes the farmer even lets us have a go at feeding the orphan lambs from a bottle, they are so greedy they pull you everywhere trying ro suck on it as hard as they can! The chicks are so cute too, little bright yellow fluffy balls and they are funny to watch the way they just climb and stand on each others heads to get past Grin and how unsteady they are on their feet.
Just writing about it now makes me want Spring to hurry up and arrive.

I love the sweet dreams cloud night light, also the moon night light. These will go perfect in our little boys star/sky themed room.

We are actually planning on ordering the personalised blue guitar for our little. Have been looking out for one for a little while now and haven't seen one I've looked before seeing this one. He absolutely loves music of any type and is always dancing with the cheekiest grin on his face.

This spring we are looking forward to spending more time outside at our local park and feeding the ducks. We also have a trip to the farm planned. I work with animals so is a keen interest to pass on to my son.

Two family members are due baby's in the spring so there will also be loads of visits to see the new arrivals.

I love this chest and the fact it is practical too. I can’t wait for spring winter has seemed to go on forever this year. It will be good to have some willing dc for dog walks instead of convincing they really do want to go out in the cold and wet every day!

I love this www.my1styears.com/personalised-pink-blanket-with-pom-pom-details.html as a blanket and a keepsake. We are looking forward to visiting my brother who lives in North Yorkshire, were are taking the train and my little ones are looking forward to spending time with their older cousins. Making family memories are the best thing about being a family, and the best memories cost nothing x hugs and kisses.

This kitchen is very cute and I prefer it to the bigger ones as although lower does it has a washing machine too!

This spring we have my Nana’s 99th birthday celebration! Can’t wait to see family and have a lovely day together. No other major plans but the season will be full of dog walks and gardening.

The Personalised Rocking Boat is gorgeous and my little one would have a fab time in it:

We are venturing out to various places, indoor if weather is unpleasant but outside in pram round the village or country park when possible.

I am due our second son the beginning of March so we plan on adjusting being parents to two in spring! Hopefully by the easter break we are more settled with a new baby and feeling up to going on a few outings with our son's. We will be doing our local national trust egg hunt which we always do every year.

Some cute stuff on that website. I'd not seen it before. I liked the elephant umbrella here:

We are busy making plans to get the most out of our Merlin passes which we've bought for the first time this year, so trips to London, Blackpool, Legoland and Alton Towers are on our minds.

The pull-along sausage dog is hands-down my favourite item from the new collection - it reminds me of a dog I had when I was little and my son is obsessed with sausage dogs!

This spring we are very much looking forward to welcoming his little sister into the world and enjoying the feeling of the days getting longer, evening sunshine, bike rides and being outdoors. I can't wait.

All of mine have loved playing with tags on things so I love this especially as it can be personalised so would make a great gift!

My favourite thing about spring is seeing everywhere filled with bright yellow daffodils, it really brightens the area up and always makes me smile

I know a little girl (and her daddy!) who would love the little guitar! It's very sweet and being personalised gives it that little extra touch.

Thinking ahead to Spring, I'm looking forward to better weather, family day trips and the long Easter break.

I love the toy chest www.my1styears.com/pink-star-toy-chest.html

The night lights are glorious too, and as someone else said, I really love the rocking boat, my older son would have loved that when he was younger.

Spring plans: visiting family and getting out on our bikes to explore. Plus lots of playing in the garden!
