I am so organised with my Christmas shopping this year, I actually began putting things away in May and I found it so much easier and cost effective doing it bit by bit and getting things whilst they were on sale. This Christmas Tyler Lee's main gift is the beauty Tildo Country Play Kitchen which we bought in a traditional toy shop in our city (I've added a link above to where it can be bought online). This is one of the most beautiful toy kitchens I've ever seen, I just love the light blue colour and the Belfast sink, it's perfect for my boy. As this is his main gift his father and I wanted to get him things to go with his kitchen, we got the Le Toy Van Honeybake blender and mixer sets which are just adorable! The Djeco Fox's Party Tea Set is super sweet with all the things a little one needs to have a tea party including little wooden teabags and a cake that can be cut up. We also picked up a Morphy Richards Kitchen set which has a coffee maker, kettle and toaster as well as some other bits and pieces and some metal pots and pans (to be honest I wish we had opted for the wooden option, they'd be far quieter!). Finally we got him a 120 piece food set for making lots of make believe meals. I think it's fair to say Tyler Lee's kitchen is far nicer and better kitted out than our real one!
We got Tyler Lee a Vtech train set last year but it's far too big for our small house so we've opted for a smaller wooden train set for him this year. We also got him a Peter Rabbit storage box filled with lots of Peter Rabbit goodies including the plush shown next to the box above. I also filled the box with a Peter Rabbit classic book, a mini board book set, playing cards, a make your own rabbit mask kit and some DVDs. Another of his gifts is a box of Lego Duplo, his first lego set ever! We also have the Wheelybug Bee for him which will be his first proper ride on toy. As he's always getting his picture taken we thought this chevron design wooden toy camera would be a great gift for our boy, we also got a white strap for it as he loves wearing things around his neck. Finally, his last gifts are a mini wooden work bench similar to the one above and a personalised wooden tool set and case.
I think we have gone a bit overboard this year and had actually forgotten some things we had bought as we bought things bit by bit. I don't want Christmas to turn into a toy fest for Tyler Lee, especially as he gets his Christmas Eve basket, lots of books and some stocking fillers too but I am glad that we've picked things this year that we know will get played and which will last a lifetime too. I hope he'll love everything that Santa brings him!
What have you gotten your little ones for Christmas this year?
These gifts are so cute, i'm sure they'll be appreciated by your little one!

That kitchen is stunning! Absolutely beautiful. This year I haven't gotten the boys a whole lot - I got them the Henry Hugglemonster talking teddies as they love him, the Ninky Nonk Activity Train, My First JCB toys, stacking cups, wind-up bath toys and ducks, and an Activity table to build blocks on. x
ReplyDeleteAhh that kitchen is beautiful! We have also got our boy a kitchen, pots & pans and food (Ikea). Family and friends are getting him more food and a tea set so I'm really excited to give him them as he loves playing with them at groups we go to. I had picked up 18 books so we have split them between Christmas and his birthday (end of Jan) I didn't realise how many we had, lol! We also got some LEGO Chima- I know he is waaaaay to young for it but he only plays with the figures. To be honest it's more for the hubby than the boy, lol. He has a LEGO and a Playmobil Advent too as he's not a huge chocolate fan, again something he can enjoy with his daddy :) I can't remember what else he has :S
ReplyDeleteI love seeing what other people get for their children, especially boys around my sons age. Thank you for sharing :) xx
I love little kitchen for kids. That one especially looks nice as opposed to those plastic one's that I used see around when I was a little kid lol.
ReplyDeleteBut these are not only Christmas gifts, right? I mean I saw some of these things on the blog before and I think Tyler Lee has already played with some of them. Or Santa will bring all these toghether?
ReplyDeleteThese are really great toys. That stove is pretty impressive. Toy kitchens have certainly come a long way.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun toys these are. I haven't bought any toys yet this year and may not. The kids are older and I bought Kindle Fire HDX and other items they requested. Abby did tell my today she wants a doll but it's the first time she mentioned anything that wasn't expensive lol.
ReplyDeleteThose are some great toys. My kids loved playing with their kitchen set when they were little.
ReplyDeleteLucky little chef Tyler! I used to want kitchen sets as a kid.
ReplyDeleteWhat great gift ideas! I love to see all the season's hottest toys!
ReplyDeleteWe haven't sorted out ideas yet on what gifts to give to our cousins and friends for Christmas. The Pots and Pans might be something that my friend will need as she's just starting to learn how to cook and get her way in the kitchen. :)
ReplyDeleteThat toy kitchen is impressive! I love all the extra features, including the clock. I'm sure it will be used for lots of fun hours of playtime.
ReplyDeleteGreat gifts! I've always loved the way wooden toys hold up better than metal or plastic.
ReplyDeleteWonderful xmas gifts :) I love toys! I really love the toy kitchen :)
ReplyDeleteThat bee looking one is so adorable my niece would want it.
ReplyDeleteI so want to get that Kitchen for my daughter but its so expensive here in South Africa.
ReplyDeleteWow he's getting so much. lucky boy. :)
ReplyDeleteIf you jump over to my blog you can check out the things I got for Matthew so far. I was considering getting him a kitchen because he loves playing with it but it takes up so much space...convince me. :)http://www.janineslittleworld.com/the-christmas-wish-list/
What lovely suggestions. I love wooden toys, I try to stick to wooden toys for my kids.
ReplyDeleteThese are such cute gift ideas for kids during the holiday!
ReplyDeleteThese are great gift ideas. I can't believe it's Christmas time already!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait until my grandbabies get old enough to buy them gifts like this! My daughter just had twins, a boy and girl 3 weeks ago!
ReplyDeleteThese are all great gift ideas. My favorite is the personalized tool box.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter would be over the moon with those kitchen related items, especially the Tildo Country Play Kitchen! She'd also love the Fawn Over Baby Chevron Wooden Toy Camera.
ReplyDeleteThis selection of gifts is so cute. My daughter would love to have that kitchen
ReplyDeleteI miss when my boys were this age group. It's a perfect list!
ReplyDeleteThose are cute toys. Kids would surely love it. But I think my son is already too old for those. :)
ReplyDeleteThe toolboxes are on our list too. Our toddler LOVES them!
ReplyDeleteThese are all such cute gifts! My daughter is asking for LEGOs for Christmas this year.
ReplyDeleteThese are some really awesome gift ideas ideas indeed. I will have to share this with my niece whom has lil ones. I love the kitchen sets. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteEvery single thing on this list my kids would like. I think that they would love the cooking stuff the best. My son loves to help me cook.
ReplyDeleteOMG! You started putting things away in MAY?! That's amazing. I am very jealous that you were so organized and on top of your holiday list, I am scrambling lol!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great collection of gift ideas! I am such a slacker on gift shopping most years, but this year our local Kmart is going out of business. Products are like 50 - 90% off in store and so I have been stocking up on some things I see that are really cheap for the holiday season! I am excited that this will allow me to have a larger Christmas without so many product reviews!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely already purchased Legos for both of our children. Endless playtime, endless creations :)
ReplyDeletePS Great list!
I got Wheelybugs for my daughter (a mouse) & nephew (a tiger) last year & they loved them! They both still play with them too which makes me happy.
ReplyDeleteThose are realy nice looking gifts! I would love the Peter Rabbit box for the kids playroom - its nice but not too flashy. Wooden toys just look so much nicer!
ReplyDeleteI really like the kitchen. My daughter would love it. She spends a lot of time in her little toy kitchen.
ReplyDeleteCool Christmas gifts! I so love the Kitchen set.. So cute!! :D
