My son turns one in a few weeks and we'd like to get him some books/toys which he will enjoy but that will also help with his development... We don't want to go too mad price-wise, so I'd appreciate any thoughts on toys which your little one enjoyed but which didn't break the bank. Thanks!

We've just passed that milestone and I'd second most of the suggestions above. A bag of megablocks (cheap version of Lego/duplo) has been a huge hit - although she's not really building anything yet, she can spend hours taking the blocks out of the bag and then putting them back in. She's also beginning to get into shape sorters and jigsaws.
Would second the wooden blocks with trolley. M 2.5 year old still plays with it sometimes. Another hit was one of those wheely bugs. I was dubious but E used it loads, initially pushing it along and then riding on it, again still does now. Other than than that Galt pop up toy, puzzles, books were well received.

    • Pickup your dogs shit off the street, it's so simple. Don't own a dog if you cannot do this basic service. Pathetic. Cleaning my shoes of dog shit for the 2nd time this month. What's going on? 
    • Hi SpringTime, I completely understand the concern for protecting birds, but using bells on cats is a bit more complicated. While they may reduce hunting success, they're not always effective & can cause stress for some cats, who are highly sensitive to sound. A better solution is to ensure cats are kept indoors during peak bird activity & providing plenty of enrichment at home to satisfy their hunting instincts. There's a terrible misconception that cats do not require as much mental & physical enrichment as dogs do. But they do, if not more so.
    • But we can train them to kill the foreign invaders, green sqwaky things, and the rats with feathers 
    • Hi Nigello, Many spayed/neutered & microchipped cats actually don't wear collars, as they often go missing & can pose risks.  Microchipping is far more reliable for reuniting lost cats with their guardians. Some of our clients even keep sacks of collars on standby because their cats frequently return without them - a comical but telling example of how impractical collars can be. A major contributor to unspayed/unneutered cats & kittens is purchasing from breeders, where these measures are often overlooked. Adopting from shelters, on the other hand, ensures all precautionary steps - like spaying/neutering, microchipping, as well as vaccinations - are already in place.
