any ideas for private wedding venue? my collegue is looking for it as well as wedding photographers in the area?

This is an old thread about baby gifts and no one can answer your question as they have no idea where you live .

This is a lovely thread, thanks - I just ordered the personalised rag doll for my granddaughter's first Christmas this year! Very cute gift, and so nice to have something with her name on.

Go to a local, independant toy shop where you'll often find toys & gifts that you wont see in supermarkets/argos etc

I always get wooden push along toys for one-year-olds and they go down very well with the children and the parents. They're the wooden toys with an animal on wheels at the bottom of a wooden pole. The wheels often have wooden beads on strings attached so they make a pleasant clunking sound as they're pushed.
i realise they look like the sorts of toys that parents like and kids ignore but genuinely they've been a hit every time and I've given them to around 10 one-year-olds now. Often available in independent toy shops too

Many children already have too many soft toys.

I completely agree! I love my family very much but if I get another giant teddy bear for the kids at Christmas, it will be starting the new year in a charity shop window!

My sister in law bought my son one last year - he smiled at it once and since then it has been stuffed in a wardrobe. Told my mum it would be shopped before we moved into the house and she told me that I needed to take it to the new house and put it in one of the kids bedrooms so my sister in law can see it when they come for a nosey at new house...

Then I am allowed to throw it away.

I'm 31 and my mum still tells me what to do. :rotfl:

I agree with a earlier post about getting Mellisa and Doug toy! You can get a wooden Mellisa and Doug educational toy! I got a few for my niece a few years ago and they're great!
