Groov-e Kiddies Headphone with Volume Limiter
You won’t find headphones suited and entirely made for kids easily so I have sussed out a great pair at an affordable price – Groov-e Kiddies Headphones with volume limiter. These come with a volume limiter as standard and they are specifically made for kids.

Spearmark Sneaker and Lippy Lips Lights
A baseball boot shaped light – how cool is that. I can say that this was a huge hit with all of my kids and even dad! The light can be set to white or colour changing and its completely safe for children to leave next to their bed as it can be powered by battery so there are no leads to the mains plug.
The darker the room, the brighter the light – I love this as when the kids are going to bed it sometimes doesn’t actually be that dark outside and with a light on its way too bright. The sneaker light only gives a ‘light’ glow in brighter lights.

Hape Crane Lift
Have you a future builder in the family like myself? If so, I would recommend this Hape Crane Life as a ‘must buy’ this Christmas. I adore wooden toys and toys that have had some thought put into them as to what materials they are made and finished with. Hape is a conscientious company that you can trust. They use natural materials and water based paints so your child can play safe.

Bizzy Bitz
The Bizzy Bitz construction set has all your child needs to be creative. With 63 pieces, including coloured ‘bricks’ and wheels, almost anything can be created this Christmas. The pieces click together easily and as they are fairly large compared to Lego, the end result is super fast.

New Drumond Park Games for Christmas 2015
New Drumond Park Games for Christmas 2015.
I am addicted to board games – I think its the entire concept and that there are no ‘screens’ involved that makes them so appealing! Kids spend way too much time in front of a screen and when given fun and interesting board games my kids are just as happy. I usually have at least 2 Drumond Park games ‘on the go’ in my playroom at any one given time. The kids love these games and are always on the lookout for new ones.

Minions Hit Them Out and Skylanders Kimble Game.
Christmas is officially on the horizon in our house – as soon as Halloween has passed I am itching to get the tree down from the attic! I am well on my way with the task of ‘gifting’ and have Minions Hit Them Out and a Skylanders Kimble Game stashed to keep the kids entertained on Christmas evening.

Rapunzel Mini Animator Doll Playset and Frozen Fever Anna And Elsa Doll Set
I have had some really great gift suggestions from the Disney Store this year and I am going to feature two of these as they are exactly what my daughter has on her Christmas list – The Rapunzel Mini Animator Doll Playset and Frozen Fever Anna And Elsa Doll Set. I have no doubt that these will be very popular this year.

Irish Fairy Doors
Irish Fairy Doors will delight any child this Christmas – I think they are simply magical!
The company is on the go 2 years now and they have went from strength to strength. Irish Fairy Doors are available online and in shops and the concept is nothing short of ingenious.
Ok, so what is an Irish Fairy Door? – Why it’s a door for the Fairies to use of course! These little doors come in different shapes and colours and they fit neatly to your wall. I love the combination below although one door looks just as cute on its own.

LEGO Friend’s Jungle Falls Rescue
From a mum’s point of view – I love LEGO! So many toys are computerised and children could almost completely move away from ‘old fashioned playing’. Not with LEGO – my children sprawl on their tummy’s, and their LEGO Friend’s girls- ‘walk’ across the floor to visit each other’s houses and mingle. They have a proper little Lego community now.
Our latest addition is the LEGO Friend’s Jungle Falls Rescue.
