For babies
For a first Christmas, soft and simple works best. The Best Years knitted organic cotton toys are suitable from birth, the Fabelab soft rattles are made for small hands to hold and shake, and the teething rings start at £1.99. A personalised bib or the personalised nursery rhyme book adds the baby's name for £9.99. The legging and sock sets have grippers at the knees for a crawling baby, and as one customer said of the duck set, 'Brilliant quality!' (customer review).
For toddlers
Once a child is on the move, wooden toys come into their own. The Ethiqana pull-along turtle and duckling suit children who are walking confidently, and the Best Years wooden rainbow stacker is suitable from 18 months.
For young children
Older children tend to love something that feels like their own. The personalised teddy bears, bunnies and princess rag dolls carry a name, the rainbow night light changes colour at bedtime, and children who already have a doll or pram will make good use of the doll socks, bibs, nappies, blanket and the Roma Teddy rucksack.
