Something that will fit in a suitcase?

I need inspiration!

Think what kind of child he is. You could get him:
1.A little book either in thick cardboard/plastic/fabric/wood or a little set of books. IE: www.toddlerslibrary.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=149&products_id=274

  1. A frame which is personalised or maybe a book farem where you can put a pic of you in one side and his parents can put a pic of him in the other side?
  2. Get him a mini set of vehicles with chunky wheels in plastic that he could push on the floor.
  3. An outfit that consists of pants and a tshirt/jumper but in size 9 months so that he can wear it either in a few months when hes bigger or it may fit him now depending on how big he is.
  4. Just a simple little bear with soft padding (what I call floppies as they dont stay sat up if put on a flat surface) but are usually made of lovely plush coberings and babies that age usually take a shine to them. www.sprogbox.co.uk/products.php?prd=X0941
  5. Rattles and little pram toys, no bigger than the size of two of your hands put togther as any bigger would take up too much room in a suitcase.

I know a lot of parents are not always keen on this but mine at that age always like the flashing lights and sounds kind of toys like vtech stuff.
eg:
www.amazon.co.uk/VTech-My-First-Light-Up-Camera/dp/B001TH5J36/ref=sr_1_38?ie=UTF8&qid=1331511524&sr=8-38
www.amazon.co.uk/VTech-73303-Little-Singing-Alfie/dp/B000M5G7TG/ref=sr_1_1?s=baby&ie=UTF8&qid=1331511573&sr=1-1
www.amazon.co.uk/VTech-Moosical-Beads/dp/B000M59DJM/ref=sr_1_1?s=baby&ie=UTF8&qid=1331511600&sr=1-1

If you want to get books, "that's not my...teddy/dinosaur/tractor/whatever" always tend to be good, if they haven't already got it

I think the rattles/pram toys are the best ideas - lots of them on the sites you have both linked to. Will have a look and see if I can find a dinosaur one!

Thank you!
