……………………………………………………………………………………………………

Miki and her two boys, aged 2.5 years old, and 2.5 months old respectively.

Hard to believe it’s only a few weeks ’til the jolly fat man in the red suit slides down the chimney, isn’t it?  I’m sure I’m not the only one who is astonished at how fast this year has flown by!

2009 has brought about some quite large changes for my little family, not least a temporary move to the UK, my elder son’s second birthday, and a new addition in the shape of my younger son, now nearly three months old.

All year I’ve been looking through beautiful online children’s boutiques (can I just say here how much I love my job?!) and the whole time I’ve had Christmas in the back of my mind.  It’s hard to narrow down the enormous range of choices, but here’s what I’ve decided on for this year. These fit our bill to perfection!

• An Alimrose bib and matching handsqueaker for my baby boy – the bibs are beautiful quality, and I love the noises the handsqueekers make.  They’re the perfect size for little baby hands.
• A Radio Flyer Ranger Wagon – this is actually the gift from the boys’ doting grandparents, who wanted my suggestion for a great toy the boys could share and enjoy for years to come.
• Mooo personalised wooden name puzzles for each of them – educational and lots of fun!
• The Plan Toys Sorting Cone – both kids will enjoy playing with this, and like all Plan Toys it’s beautifully designed and made.
• Their big present from Father Christmas – a matched pair of Wheely Bugs, the large size for Master Two and the small size for the baby (who will grow into his during the next year).  I can’t wait to see them tearing around on their Bugs together!
• I wanted to get them something quintessentially English to mark their first, and probably only, northern hemisphere Christmas – so what else but a Harrods bear for the baby and a Harrods musical snowglobe for the two-year-old?
• Their present from Daddy – Star Wars themed long-sleeve tees from Well Spotted.  (Yep, I married a geek! But, actually, I think they’re pretty darn awesome, too ).

1. Alimrose Designs Soldier Bib, $16.50; and Handsqueaker, $15.95 from Baby’s Got Style
2. Radio Flyer Ranger Wagon, $249.95 $220.00 from Where Did You Get That?
3. Mooo Personalised Wooden Name Puzzle, from $24.95 from Mooo
4. Plan Toys Sorting Cone, $40.95 from Little Posssums Toys
5. Wheely Bug – Large, $110.00; Wheely Bug – Small, $90.00 from Green Goat
6. Harrods Small Christmas Bear, £14.95 from Harrods
7. Harrods Musical Snowglobe, £24.95 from Harrods
8. Well Spotted Long-Sleeve Tees, $40 each from Well Spotted

I’m a working mumma, a real life ‘Metro Mum’, who finds it difficult to factor in time for such things as Christmas shopping between my everyday juggle of caring for two wonderful kids and a career in the corporate world.

For that very reason, when I walk into my local department store and see the Christmas decorations up in October I start to hyperventilate! Where am I going to find the time to buy something for everyone that is special, stylish, innovative ande functional?? Enter Metro Mum – www.metromum.com.au.

Metro Mum’s immense range of products has instantly relieved my pre-Christmas present buying anxiety and I’m quietly relieved that, for once, I will have all my presents bought and wrapped early.

Strolling through Metro Mum’s pages I was absorbed in the rich quality of the wares, and amazed how the one shop has unearthed items for everyone in the family including the often forgotten Dear Husband (I’m thinking the Annabel Trends Apron that reads “Where there’s smoke, there’s dad” and the Playsam Wooden Yoyo to remind him of his youth).

Quality, thoughtful, toys capture my imagination and delight me just as they did when I was a child, and I relish sharing these with my kids and watching them spark a similar reaction in them.

There are certain toys that really connect with kids, and wooden toys are high up in this select group. Quality timber toys do have a beautiful weight and hand feel to them that is hard to match with any other material, and they are very durable, which means they have great longevity.

BRIO and PlanToys are two timber toy manfucaturers at the top of the tree (pun intended!).

BRIO toys, started production in 1908 in Sweden, and are still made of wood (now in China) and designed in Osby, the village where it all began. The quality lacquered finish of BRIO toys makes them highly coveted by adults, and much loved by kids (including mine!)

Thailand-based PlanToys is a most impressive company which operates under a code of social and environmental responsibility. The timber finish is often left natural, and the range of designs is constantly expanding. We have an extensive collection of PlanToys products in our house that bring constant enjoyment.

Take the opportunity to get your hands on BRIO and PlanToys products 15% off at Little Possums Toys – www.littlepossumstoys.com.au – until midnight, 2 September 2009.
