My little one loves the 'that's not my..." series of books from Usborne (great books with bits to stroke and feel), Rye Bookson Upland Road does them, along with loads of other lovely books for very small folk. Or Early Learning centre have great small gifts such as tambourines/maracas etc which are fun.

Or a shape sorter from ELC - and actually their on line sale is on at the moment?

Or try great little trading company on line for nice gifts, often wooden and very pretty.

Good luck!

Ditto musical instruments! You might be able to get a little xylophone or maracas, a pretty painted tambourine maybe - try Just William, they have this kind of thing towards the back of the shop on the left hand side. Failing that a book is great and I find that Chener books have an amazing kids section at the back, my daughter started loving pop up books at that age.

"that's not my..." series of books from Usborne (great books with bits to stroke and feel)"


very popular with my little one as well but I never realised how many of them there are. Only so many ways white corrugated plastic can be dressed up - "it's too rough...." "It's tooo bumpy" ;-)


Around that age I can't recommend sticker books enough - they seem to get so much pleasure out of them it's unreal. Best one I found was a bumper Pixar book in WH Smiths at the airport. That few quid has lasted months and months


Caveat. If they get into it, you will end up going to work with bits of sticker on your backside, as they leave them everywhere

As a parent of girls, when they were young I was always thankful for clothes. Little children get loads of pressies they don't play with no matter how lovely they are. I have 3 girls and we recently sold 18 baby dolls at a car boot and still have a house full of them. Us only ever having bought 3 the rest all being presents. Books always great though.

The books by Alan and Janet Ahlberg are great, real classics that appeal to all ages. I got them for my daughters first birthday and she still picks them out regularly and she is now 2.


Also if you look up 'push along toys' on amazon these are great. They're around ?6 and are lovely wooden little animals like ponys,mouse etc that they push along on a little wooden stick. Great for that age when they're starting to walk and like to hold something. They also look alot more expensive than they are!

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
