My Little Drummer Boys: How are you travelling ?

How are you travelling ?

Dear Santa

How are you travelling ?

This year my boys have been 50% naughty 50% nice !
They just toe the line between cute and cheeky !

I know you are a busy fella and all , so I got a plan for me you !

Choose exactly what you want for each boy or girl using the filters, for age, gender, brand and budget. From outdoor games and wooden pieces to arts ‘n crafts, bath toys, games and puzzles and more.

Then to save you time and reduce the reindeer emissions they will deliver to the any chimney down-under faster than you can hitch up the sleigh and without the frustration of parking.

They have all the cult-classics to best selling and bespoke brands from across the globe including Lego, Mattel, Fisher Price, Tolo, Alex and Munchkin. I love the Schleich Toys and I remember my little sister having Baby alive !

It's a virtual carousel of real bargains offering toys across a broad range of categories at comparable to retail price tags or less .

Santa wouldn't you rather shop online from the comfort of your favourite chair , sipping your favourite ~~beer~~ beverage instead of trying to beat path through the crowds.

What's more, Toysie's little helpers gift wrap (and deliver straight to your door) !

Go to toysie.com.au enter code TOYS1012 and get $10 off

Then spend over $99 and delivery is free

PS - Get Christmas orders in by DEC 13th 2012 11.59pm for Christmas delivery

I wasn't paid for this review though I got to a voucher to spend at Toysie .
I choose some Lego City products to add to our arsenal of Lego - I may regret it. I just wish I'd known about Toysie when my boys were littles. The baby and toddler toys are awesome. I love the wooden toys especially.

I don't know about you but this year I'm struggling to stretch the budget. I want to keep Christmas simple but also see beaming smiles Christmas morning when the kids wake up.

How do you make the Budget stretch ?

How are you traveling ? '

Have you got Christmas in the bag ?

What won't you buying your kids for Christmas ?

I'm not ready at all, thanks for this, Toysie sounds perfect . I won't be buying any toys with batteries I hate them and i can never find a screwdriver to undo the battery case.

I am not fond of battery operated toys too , that usually means noise.

I frequently shop on e-bay and online stores. I would love to buy a couple of Fisher price toys. They look really fun and great for toddler play. FP have such bright colours, too.
I love a discount too.

We still have so many Fisher Price baby toys , except for the noise I loved that they kept my twins happy and busy.

I couldn't pick just one thing from Toysie for my girls - I want lots, I'm crazy for cute stuff . I would ❤ ⓛ ⓞ ⓥ ⓔ ❤ the wooden kitchen play sets - it would be gorgeous for summer playing in the cubby house and would give me motivation to play with them.

I wish I could say I'm ready for Christmas but I still have lots to do. I'm still helping my daughter with her Santa letter as she doesn't know what she wants. I think she is settling for a 'boy Barbie' (Ken) this year. At least if Santa knows what she wants he (she) can buy it!

I have wrapping to do and to find our stockings packed in boxes - tetris style.

Online shopping is much more appealing as my boys have now mastered toddler tantrums/ meltdowns at the shops- the greater the crowd watching, the more fun!

I am definitely gonna be checking that out for next year. I have all of Mia's presents now, just need to wrap them. Usually I love wrapping presents but for some reason this year I just don't want to do it!

I haven't wrapped anything - except for what Toysie wrapped - though I need to unwrap it to separate for two boys.

I'm really wrecking my head over Christmas gifts because I want to get something meaningful, beautiful yet practical. Not just for Lil Pumpkin but for family members too so I'm quite behind on my Christmas shopping! This site is definitely on my bookmark to look out for toys for birthdays or other special occasions for my girl :)

I am just about finished and thankfully as they get older the toys get smaller and less of them....just more expensive!

I hear you Martine - we are keeping it simple Lego isn't so cheap but it is multipurpose. At six we can still get away with less.

Off to check out their site. Sounds great, especially considering that today is just about the cut off for me going to the shops. After about the week and a half before Christmas, it's too much for me. Too many people, too much noise, too much shoving etc. Social Phobia in Mama+ Autism x 2 + Christmas Time Shopping = as bad as it gets.

I am cancelling the credit cards tomorrow - new replacement ones - we won't get new ones before Christmas. I don't like crowds plus I don't want to catch anything with reduced immunity.

I can imagine it would be stressful for your boys too - Autism x 2 and crazier than normal crowds .

Do not give Sophie links to toy sites.. you must not!!

I am a terrible last minute impulsive toy shopper when it comes to Christmas. I don't need anything else, and when I get everything out to wrap (something I am not looking forward to, I really should have considered this before having 4 children), I will prob put some things back away for Birthdays.Do not give Sophie links to toy sites.. you must not!!

So do I , the prices for baby and toddler classic toys are great. I would have loved the cow trike for my boys.
