GIFTS: What Isabella got for Christmas 2016

Isabella has been extremely lucky with all of the amazing presents she's received over Christmas. Last year she really wasn't interested in opening presents, but this year was a very different story. She absolutely loved ripping opening all of the presents, checking them out and then playing with them. We missed a trick when we wrapped up multiple books in one parcel, next year each and every gift will be wrapped separately! Now we just need to find somewhere to store all of Isabella's lovely gifts.

GIFTS: What my husband and I got for Christmas 2016

I hope you've all had a lovely Christmas break with far too much food consumed and lots of happy memories made with family/friends. We've had a lovely time seeing both my side and my husband's side of the family and are now looking forward to a few days relaxing before New Years. I thought I'd share some of the presents my husband and I got for Christmas, mainly as gift inspiration as we were so very lucky this year. I find men so much harder to buy for, so hopefully by sharing what my husband got it might give you some inspiration for birthday's/present giving events throughout the year. I'll also be sharing some of the presents Isabella was lucky enough to receive over Christmas too, so keep an eye out for that.

On to  some of the lovely presents I received...

TODDLER: Le Toy Van Lilys Cottage

As toddler's get older they begin to enter the world of play in the small world. It's a fun and imaginative world where lots can be learnt! A doll's house is perfect for supporting children in entering and enjoying small world play because it provides them with a house more suited to their size.
