Hi, my little boy will be 1 soon. I have a few ideas for presents but I'm not a believer in going crazy at this stage as his favourite toys tend to be socks and leaflets! I was just wondering if anyone had any experience of a good toy to buy at this age, that they really grow to love and use as they develop?

A sit-on toy (if you don't already have some)! A Thomas is still played with daily here a year and a half later, present from grandparents. Also got Little Tikes sit in cars, just used indoors so far and still much loved. Agree though I wouldn't go crazy, maybe a small token for now!

This tunnel was very popular (and for at least a year after). It's great cos it's very impressive to small people but folds away totally flat.

Also if you don't have it this pop up toy was a firm favourite at that age and for months.

Both take up a bit of space, but he loves them + they actually look really nice so I don't mind having them out in the sitting room all the time. Small presents for Christmas though I think!

    • I don't want to name a shop, but I have twice at this busy time of year had an issue, and yesterday was overcharged when buying a number of small things. If you are using a shop which doesn't give an itemised receipt, or doesn't give a receipt at all, just be aware that it might be a good idea to check that you are not paying over the odds (and if using cash, that you are given the right change for what you handed over). When staff are busy they might make mistakes.
    • As I had a moan on here about the truly abysmal Christmas meal we had at The Cherry Tree last year, I am redressing the balance by saying we had a really excellent Christmas meal at Franklins last night. Every course was absolutely delicious and  really well cooked. The staff were lovely despite being exhausted and run off their feet. In particular, my sea bass was a large portion and cooked to perfection, in stark contrast to the small dried up portion The Cherry Tree provided, from which I was barely able to scrape a teaspoonful of flesh (that is not an exaggeration). And our Franklins meal cost less than half what we paid at The Cherry Tree (to be fair, that was on Christmas Day so the Cherry Tree costs would have been higher, but that doesn't excuse the appalling quality meal). Thank you again to Franklins for restoring our faith in eating out at Christmas!
