look at all the sales, Next were reducing their clothes so much mums and dads were literally grabbing hand fulls of them!! Debenhams also and Adams have huge reductions, this is the best time to buy them as they are so reduced and you will nto have to spend the earth on them xxx

the toddle truck is an excellent idea if you can afford £20 (can you buy one for my boy too please?!). marks and spencers have building bricks with a bag (but sadly no pushalong) for £10.

next have a sale on as has been mentioned. i bought a lovely t-shirt with a monkey face for £2 (full price was £3.99) . check with the mum or leave receipt in bag - when my boy turned 1 he needed age 2 t-shirts, and is now in age 3 and he's not even 18 months old, co in case the child is a giraffe it may be worth checking which size to buy, and also if it's a smaller child because if you buy winter clothes they might not fit until summer.

i always say when people ask what to buy for my son to buy what THEY want, anything they think looks cute or fun.

The stacking cups are one of the most played with toys in my house.

When we first got them we used them for stacking and my little boy would knock them over (obviously!) and we also used them with playdoh (as they have shapes of fish on the bottom). They were then used as imaginary pots and pans by my little boy (using a spoon to do mixing in them again!) and were subsequently moved to the bathroom as a bath toy for pouring games which both of my children love.

The cups are now five years old and are as colourful and as enjoyed as they were when first bought for us by my sister.

I think that they are great.

Thanks, so long lasting toys are the way to go.
I have so much choice of what to get. I will need a bank loan at this rate!

Poundstretcher is good for some baby clothes too.

Woolies is excellent for baby/toddler clothes especially in sales - got most of dd's coats for about £5 when original price was £25+

Phil don't just think about size but what type of clothes too - don't buy anything too fleecy or too flimsy so that he gets maximum wear out of it. For a boy I would buy a dungarees set or a trousers/long-sleeved t-shirt set - can usually get very nice set for under £15 at Tescos, Woolies, Asda, Matalan. If you're not sure ask a female shop assistant (sorry boys but ladies do usually have more idea in this area!) or even a female shopper who is looking in baby area!

Maybe I could go for some clothes and a toy.

Oh I got mt youngest some ELC wooden blocks and a hammer bench when she was around 1 yr old and I can safely say that they are THE most played with toys I've even had. In fact, she's three in a couple of weeks and still plays with them almost daily.

If you have only seen this child once and not that close, I wouldn't feel oblidged to spend £20.

The following would go down a storm in any house:
