So, 10 weeks until Christmas?! Eeek!

In the interests of fairness here are my gift ideas for a boy.  I have three nephews all around the age of two so there is some need for this research!

First, and probably what I will go with is the Bilibo.  It's is designed for Children age two to seven, and it is an award winning Imagination Toy.

KidStyleFile reviewed the toy in 2008, you can read the  review here. Probably the most important part of the review -

"Pros - Encourages imagination. Can’t get much safer. Not battery operated. No moving parts. High quality, lasts well. Can be used indoors and out. If you have more than one, they stack, and you can store things inside them. Good range of colours. They look cool!

Cons - None"

There are also some cute videos on YouTube of the toy in action... there really are no limits!

So what does a toy that has no limits cost? In Australia it will cost you approximately AUD$39, in the US it is approximately USD$30

Where do you buy?
Australia: You can buy from Urban Baby, metro mum and IQ Toys and many others. Urban Baby are giving a free bag to go with the toy.
USA: There are a stores in and around DC that stock the toy - Giggle (Friendship Heights, MD) Toys R Us & Target (online only) and Home Rule at 1807 14Th St NW (not available on their website).  There are of course plenty of other sites/stores that stock it.

The Bilibo also comes in mini (above right, approximately US$10 for two)...

Green Toys have a great line of classic children's toys constructed from recycled plastic and other environmentally friendly materials. The dump truck has a workable dumper, no BPA, no coatings, is non toxic and durable. See Green Toys for a list of stockists both in the USA, Australia and beyond.
They also have many many other designs - Frisbee, Tea Set, Bucket & Spade sand set...

For the little traveler how about a Trunki? UK designed Trunki is the ideal luggage for a little person. It has a hard shell, wheels and a lead, why you ask? Well, that's easy - it is the world's first ride on luggage. Yep, ride on. So load them up with all the gear the little one needs on the plane, wheel the Trunki and the child through airports and stow the Trunki safely in the overhead locker. 

Trunki's come in many colours, er, sorry Characters... Harley the limited edition Ladybug, Tipu (right), Trixie, Terrance and Towgo.  This is perhaps less a 'boy' specific gift and more gender neutral.

There is a Trixie (hot pink, green ears) living in little O's room anxiously awaiting our holiday.
How much? Approx USD$50-$60 (depending on character) the USA and around AUD$80-85 in Australia.

Where from? (USA) Giggle, Target, Amazon...
Australia - Mummy's Favourite, metro mum, Haggus and Stookles, Ekidna Kidswear and The Hip Infant

Practical and fun, what more do you need?

I'll keep thinking, but I think I'm done for today!
