Mums with 16-18 month olds..........

Hi everyone

As that time of the year approaches...........I just wonder what you are planning on getting for your little ones for Christmas?  Just looking for any ideas?

I want the Little People Garage & Pop up Tent.....................but need some inspirations pls

Thanks :-)

Ok, Zoe is going to be 11/12 months (Xmas and birthday around the same time) but we are looking at presents for when she is a little bit older.  She's getting some of the following :-

• Happyland camping set
• Paddling pool & balls for it to be a ball pool
• Baby trampoline
• Smart trike
• Bubble machine
• Aquadraw
• Fisher Price dolls pushchair

E will be 17m at Christmas and tbh, we're a bit stuck for what to get her. She's our second child and  happy with all the toys we have for B. We're getting her a pop-up tent and a tunnel but so far that's the only thing we can think of that she would like. It'll be easier (and more expensive!) when she's older and can choose stuff for herself.

B was 16m at his second Christmas and we bought him a trampoline and the ELC whizz down mountain, both of which, two years on, he still loves.

M will be 17 months - so far he has got:

New books

Duplo

More little people bits

car & garage

most likely a toy kitchen

W will be 15 months at Christmas...

He's getting:

Books

Aquadraw

Easel

Musical instruments

Duplo

Fisher Price Garage

Baby Annabell boy doll

Couple of wooden bits from ELC

Jigsaws

(That's not all from us, the family too!!!)

ohh - where do you get the Baby annabel boy doll from?

Lily will be 17 months at Christmas and is getting the following (not all from us!):

Smart Trike Plus (half price bargain from Sainsburys)

ELC Sizzling Kitchen (got in Boots 3 for 2 so only cost £46 rather than the usual £70)

My first baby annabelle and a my first baby born plus baby born stroller (all half price from Sainsburys too).

John Lewis toddler table and chairs set (plain table and animal chairs)

Stocking fillers  - a couple of books, a wind up bath toy, fisher price chatter phone, waybuloo soft toy, a little oil cloth beatrix potter bag for collecting stones on the beach.

Zoe is 18m now and will be nearly 20m at Christmas. Must admit, I panicked when I read your post first, as we haven't given it much thought yet, but there are some great ideas on here - thank you!!

Thomas will be 20 months at Christmas and is getting a JCB toolbench  and a JCB mini excavator - he is digger/tractor/machinery mad. For stocking fillers he is getting books and other bits and pieces, probably clothes that he needs anyway

Leo will be 16 months at Christmas and I am a really mean Mummy... He is getting a bedding set for his cot,  Dressing gown, slippers and just one toy from us, the ELC Whizz down mountain.. I figure it's probably going to be the last year I can get away with buying him something practical instead of toys!

Amelia will be getting the following from us

Baby set from M&P (mini buggy for her dolly, etc)

ITNG play set

Tomy train (small)

Winnie Pooh mobile phone toy

3 books

ITNG pj's

A dress to wear on Christmas Day

I think this is it.  We had a budget and managed to come in under, thanks to the recent sales.

She is also getting a dressing gown and mega blocks train set from my Mum, more pjs from my brother, a toy of some description and a winter dress.  I think her grandparents may get her a little table to go with the chair she has.

this is my LO's list

maybe a wheely bug from us

my first crayons and chalks (mainly as got as freebies on 3 for 2 offers in boots)

aquadraw (cheaper version)

happy land

them wooden jigsaws with abc/123 and the little handle to get them in and out

fisher price vacuum

talking nok tok form waybaloo

bath toys

thats not my...books

again not all from us and its just a list with many price ranges for people to choose so prob wont get them all

M is having

A wheely bug

A little tikes bubble car

A fisher price garage

A thomas the tank engine that blows bubbles

Mega blocks

a couple of small thomas figures

some 'Thats not my' books

a mini Waybuloo bookset

Again not all from us, and some bits I got from Sainsburys in the sale even though I didn't actually need any more things for him. He's bound to get lots of other stuff too, we could do with Father Christmas bringing an extension or conservatory to keep them all in!

I started looking yesterday, inspired by the fab offers thread on here.  So far I have bought W (16 months)  2 books - the Tiger that Came to Tea with a small china teaset and a big fold out Maisie book.   A wooden truck shape sorter with jungle animals and some foam things to stick on the side of the bath.  I also think he would like some Duplo.  I am currently umming and ahhing between table and chairs (animal ones from JL or similar) and a Brio train set.  Really don't want to go mad this year - last year was silly and I still have a couple of presents which he didn't open and I have kept back (they are wrapped books and I can't remember what they are!).

Daniel is getting (as I bought it all at the weekend) from us:

Happyland Zoo

Happyland storage box that converts into a road map thing

Happyland Christmas figures

Bob the Builder figurines

A magnetic animal matching set thingy with sounds etc (hard to describe)

An ITNG annual

A Bob the Builder book

some Wibbly pig books (set of 4)

Some Christmas song CDs

From family he is getting:

A table and chairs set

Happyland fire station

Happyland Caravan set

Bob the builder duvet cover

Bob the builder pjs

Bob the builder telephone

Think that's about it - he had the following for his 1st bday (ball pool and balls, smart trike, seat back DVD player for in the car, sand and water table, ride on Thomas toy) so he really doesn't need much tbh.
