Of course, Christmas is not all about the gifts but I absolutely love buying for Ben! He is the easiest one in my family to buy presents for and I know he will get so much joy and play time out of the things we have selected for him! I get pretty carried away but it's so much fun! What are you getting your little one for Christmas this year?

Books make for neutral gifts all the time! especially learning ones, hence i would recommend something on the same take but more on the "tailor made" side, basically their own *personalised childrens books* - which would make nice gifts even for non book lovers, a book fashioned with custom labels and cover design to make it special, and what's best is you're able to switch out the characters of that of the book into the child recipient, giving that more engaging feel

Best toy with out a doubt we ever got my now 5 year old when he was 2 was magnatiles, it is the most played with toy and my almost 9 year loves them just as much! I love watching what they create with them, one minute its a giant city complete with car garages and next they've made pizza or toast with them, such a brilliant open ended toy.

So glad to hear they were such a hit with so many play possibilities! It reassures me that the investment is worth it. Thanks so much for sharing your experience!

I like your system for coordinating gifts among family members! My grandparents simply send us money for shopping for gifts for the boys, which I appreciate very much! I look forward to seeing your kitchen DIY video, that is such an awesome gift! Our play kitchen has been used so much over the past year. We thought about doing Magnatiles for this Christmas...but yes, since they're quite the investment, I thought we'd wait a little bit and maybe do those for Cyrus's 3rd birthday next year.

I am so lucky my family are on board with a gift idea list! Life is so crazy just now so I just hope we have enough time to create the kitchen we want. 🤞The magna-tiles genuinely look brilliant and I hope Ben will love them. My mum offered to get them this year as they are indeed super pricey, but hopefully a good investment that have great longevity! Thanks for watching Rachel!

We have a set of magnatiles and we bought the kids a second set for Christmas. It is a hit. Initially I was hesitant because of the cost. I got them on sale for $100 CAD but my son plays with them for a minimum 2 hours a day everyday.

The Magna-Tile purchase came from your little one's creativity with them! I am pretty confident Ben will love them. Thanks for watching and for the inspiration as always!

Thanks for sharing Kara. These are great toys! We are in the process of working out our Christmas gift ideas these days...so it's very helpful to see your HUGE stock and hear your commentaries. I think we'll be getting the magna tiles as well. They look really fun! Just out of Curiosity, Ben is going to open all of these new toys at once? I was considering maybe I should let my kids open one gift per day from Christmas day so that they can focus on one new thing at a time...

Hey Rui! I am very excited about the Magna-Tiles! I think they will be a great investment toy. I am not sure how it will work with times for opening presents because I think he will open something and then want to play with it so it may take us a few days. 🙈 I hadn't realised how much I had accumulated. He will also probably not see all our family/friends on Christmas day so he will probably be gifted them over a longer period of time. I think we'll just play it by ear and see how it goes. Happy Christmas shopping! ❤️

Where is the brand playtive from?
@BairnandaBackpack3 жыл бұрын
Hello Leaetta. It's the brand the supermarket Lidl sell toys under. They only do it a few times a year but they are an amazing price and such great quality. It's annoying I can't link any of their toys though as they don't sell online. ❤️

Thanks Claire! The toy events at Aldi and Lidl are brilliant, aren't they!? I know Ben is going to be through the roof excited on Christmas day! He is the easiest one in the family to buy for and I just get so carried away! 🙈 Thanks so much for watching! ❤️
