Everyone Loves a Toy Delivery

Toys, our house is filled with them but the girls never seem to have enough so when I was asked by House of Fraser if I'd like to choose some new toys for the girls, I took advantage of their recent sale to find something new to keep them occupied and a toy for the husband biggest kid may have jumped in the basket too. I mean everyone loves a toy delivery right?

There is such a range of products to choose from ranging from babies right up to the adults who still like to indulge in a bit of child's play. It was a difficult decision what I should purchase.

Reading the New LEGO Friends Magazine

My girls are very much into their comics and they were lucky enough a couple of months ago to get the chance to receive a copy of Girl Talk when they launched their #girlsrule campaign.

This month sees the release of a brand new magazine, LEGO Friends, again my daughter's were kindly sent the first copy to look at and enjoy.

It's a Lego Arrest

Now my girls are huge fans of playing with dolls but they also love playing and building things with Mega Bloks and Lego too so when we had the chance to join in with a competition from Carcraft that involved Lego the girls were keen to join in.

All they had to do was pick which Lego set they wanted and when it arrived the idea was to create an action scene.

The girls chose the high speed police chase Lego set, I think partly because their Grandpa and Auntie are both police men/women.

Christmas Gift Guide for Girls

Now I know there are an awful lot of gift guides around, a lot of them with the same popular toys on. I thought I would write one that was slightly different.

My daughter's and I have been picking out the toys that we would like to receive from Father Christmas, there will be a couple of toys you recognise because my girls do watch the television and the adverts have persuaded them that they really need certain toys!!

1. Monster High 13 Wishes Dolls

We have an ever growing collection of these Monster High dolls. I personally find them a little scary looking but they are one of the favourite toys in this house.

The girls love watching the dvds as well.

A new Monster High film has just come out, Monster High 13 Wishes and with it new dolls have also been released.

So top of their list are Clawdeen, Frankie and Draculaura, lucky for me they are all available with 25% off at Argos at the moment.

2. Furby Boom


These little creatures seem to be at the top of every Christmas toy guide this year and they have proved to be very popular with my girls too.

Luckily they come in plenty of different colours so if they are lucky enough to get them from Santa then there will be no arguing over who has which ones.

3. Little Bird Told Me Rocking Horse

Now this toy would be for Layla. Little Bird Told Me have just introduced their new range of Heritage Stable rocking horses and I have fallen in love.

Now these are on the higher price end but they look fantastic and your child would get hours of fun from it.

There are 4 available : Rufus + Ted - 9 months+, Chester + Fred - 12 months+, Jasper - 18 months+ and Tennyson - 3 years +.

4. WOW toys Poppy's Pony Adventure

Another popular brand in our house is WOW toys.
Mummy loves the fact that there are no batteries involved and the girls love mixing all the sets together.

The one on their list is Poppy's Pony adventure but there are plenty more toys available including Ronnie Rocket, Flip n Tip Fred and Penny's Pooch n Ride.

5. Books, books and more books

All my girls are huge book worms so it is no surprise that books are on their list.

I recently reviewed two wonderful books from paragon, five little monkeys, perfect for little ones and christmas cookie stamp set, great for those aspiring bakers.

Other books on the Christmas list are ones by Jaqueline Wilson and Julia Donaldson, these authors are firm favourites here!!!

6. Lego Friends

When I was younger I was never into Lego, always saw it as a boys toy.

My girls are the complete opposite, they love it, creating and building new things.

And they love it even more since they brought out the Lego Friends range.

They have a little collection that they would love to build on.

7. Music

My daughter's were listening to music from the get go, even when pregnant with them I used to play songs to them, placing headphones on my belly.

They love to get up and dance!! My eldest is desperate for the new JLS cd, my 5 year old wants the latest one direction album and my 3 year old is obssessed with the Fox Song. Layla is happy dancing to whatever song you decided to put on, although the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse them tune really gets her up and moving.


So there we have it, a few ideas to get you thinking. Are any of these on your children's wish lists??
