I've given links to things but can't guarantee its the cheapest place for everything. For general items it may be worth a quick browse.


ZACY

Cushion
This cushion is £35 and would look lovely in Zacy's bedroom

Waybulloo
Both boys are crazy about Waybulloo at the moment, particularly Zacy, I did mention to Tanya that he might like some books or other things, but not sure whether that's what she got him for his birthday.



OSCY

Train Set
As you know Osc has been really enjoying his train sets and it would be nice to add to the set.
  • If you're looking for a big present, then Misty Island might be an idea - I think he'll enjoy the hills!
  • Misty Island
  • The other one I think he'd like is the "Tidmouth Sheds" set - Jenny, we saw it in Intertoys in the Amstelveen Shopping Centre so it may be a good one from you.
  • I think he'd also like some extra track.
  • In terms of the actual trains, he is a big fan of his Talking Gordon which lights up and makes a noise. Any of the other talking ones would be good (some are also available at ToysRUs) Talking Trains
  • There is also a Carry Case for his collection of trains. Its quite expensive for what it is, but quite a nice idea Carry Case

Walkie Talkie
Not sure whether Osc will still be too young in the next year for these


BOTH BOYS

Kitchen
We think we're going to get the boys one of these kitchens for the playhouse as their present from us
It would be really awesome if other people could buy extra food, utensils etc...

Sled/Toboggan
I thought it would be a cool thing to have in the shed for when it snows. I think both boys would enjoy a cheap plastic one or a cool wooden one and it will still be fun when they're older

Bath Toys
These get nasty so fast. They love bath books, particularly with animals and would enjoy some new cheap and small things for the bath. We've got them some new cups, but anything else could be nice.

DVDs
Lion King would be cool. Maybe Bug's Life or Toy Story


Tracy

Garden Pots
I'd love some really nice garden pots but I'm insanely fussy! (I know, you can't imagine that can you!)

Hat and Glove Storage
I'd like this tote to keep all the boys hats scarves and gloves in

Cushions
There are some great Designers Guild fabric cushions on Ebay
  • Most of all, if you can see if you can get one of them to make me a cushion in "Margot" (the fabric is available to buy at a discount on Ebay too but not worth buying a metre just to get one cushion made) Margot Material
  • Otherwise here are some made up cushions
  • Cushion 1
  • Cushion 2
  • Cushion 3
  • Cushion 4
  • You may well find others - the criteria is they need to work mixed up together with a Cream, Duck Egg and beige theme
Frame
I'd love two of these frames for pics of the boys. Ideally to take a 5x7 picture (but with room to spare round the outside if that makes sense)
Frame

Books
A new Bill Granger cookery book and maybe the Caitlin Moran book

Marcy

Subscription
Marcy still really loves Time Out so a subscription even for 6 months would def be popular

Books
As you know, always popular, he keeps his Amazon list up to date with things he wants

Bag
Marcy would love one of these two bags

I'd love some more of these picture frames from Heals. Ideally some 7x5's as well as maybe an 8x10 and/or some square ones

Alex Monroe Jewellery














































I completely love almost all of Alex Monroe's jewellery, and my buttercup ring and hummingbird earings give me enormous pleasure whenever I wear them. I've uploaded pics of some of my fave pieces from his website.

A pair of "breakfast in bed" trays

We love to have dinner in bed but more often than not ice-cream drips on our sheets. It would be great to have some modern-looking nice breakfast in bed trays. This one comes from Lombok

Baking dishes


I need some dishes for baking stuff like parmigiana or lasagnas. They need to be smaller than my current lasagne dish (ie: good for 2 people rather than 4 to 6) or even individual ones. They need to be square and importantly have deep sides. Can be regular white ones or terracotta.

Another good book


Apperently a good one of the "pop marketing" variety

The history of Channel 4


How could I have forgotten to put this on my list!
