The more babies I have the more I embrace online shopping. Any way that I can avoid taking little people down to the shops and I’m on to it. Everything arrives on my doorstep and when retro daddy is at work. That would have to be the best part – he’s not here. He never needs to know. And since it’s November, that means Christmas is around the corner. And with 5 children in this family buying presents is serious business in this house.
Normally I’m super organised and have presents for little people sorted. But this year I bought presents and gave them to the little ones when emerson was born to keep them happy. It seemed like a good idea at the time but now means I have to do my christmas shopping from scratch. So it’s nice timing to find a new online toy store, Toysie.
There’s a lot to love about Toysie – a big range of toys, big brand names, free delivery on orders over $99, lots of craft kits and a 100 day Free Return policy. That’s perfect for Christmas because there is nothing worse than buying a toy or receiving the same and then discovering you can’t return it because the store had a 30 day return policy.
I’ve had a good look around toysie and am really impressed by how many craft kits there are for kids and their wooden toy section is huge! I am going throuh a big ‘turn off the tv and play stage right now and it’s the craft that is keeping them busy. We also love wooden toys here because they have been the ones that have lasted all 5 of the little ones. They never date and funnily enough they are some of our favourite toys.
Toys are catergorised by brands, ages, boy or girl and a few more categories and my Christmas wishlist looks a little something like this:
Felt Sweets kit and fabric markers for Keira
Melody mix for Elodie
Wooden farm playset and Shrinky Dinks Ballerina for Tillie
anything Lego for Finn
and for little emerson this cute little Fisher Price Select a Show Soother which makes a cute little light show and music for little ones
So go and have a little look at toysie for yourself and use your $10 voucher to stock up on a few things for Christmas. Just use the code: RETROMUMMY12 for your free voucher and please note that it can’t be used in conjunction with any other offer.
p.s this post was written in return for some help in the SEO department – because I am totally blonde and clueless!
Oh I love a good recommendation: thanks.
The melody mix looks fabulous – I will check out the rest later and great to have a voucher too.
Oh my goodness, this website is amazing. I love their wooden toys section, especially all the dollhouse furniture and bits and pieces. I’ve already got the kids presents sorted for this year, but I’ll be keeping this website in mind for future purchases
Tee hee, I think Retro Daddy will know now! Suz
Busted!
lol!
Oh my gosh! Please tell me that’s a staged photo and not actually your loungeroom on Christmas morning?! I love how the gifts are in such orderly piles (for each child I’m guessing?). Just gorgeous!
You have been found out Corrie! Retro Daddy is online. Funny!
I love the craft kits on the website. Perfect for my little girl esp durin the summer hols. Thanks.
This is brilliant! I am ON it! I am also determined to be more organised this year, and do most of my shopping online…I would rather pull my eyeballs out than go to Target or Kmart on Christmas Eve…and yet sadly, that is what I often find myself doing. Georgia, in particular is really hard to buy for, but there is her present right there…the Melody Maker. She is out in the lounge banging her tamborine as we speak, she LOVES making musical noises. What a fantastic sensory toy for her. And shrinky sinks…SOMEONE has to get them. Takes me right back to my childhood. Remember shrinking chip packets in the oven? I also always buy the kids craft kids for Christmas – this is going to be EASY. I had never heard of this company, so loving this recommendation.
This website is AMAZING! I’m going to place an order for some of their wooden toys right now! I agree with everyone on the Melody Mix (what a great toy!) !Thanks for the recommendation and free coupon, I will be telling all my friends about it!
That’s fabulous! Thanks so much.
Always good to know of more reputable online toy stores!! Thanks for the hot tip!
Emma is getting a Melody mix from Santa! What an awesome toy! This is her 1st christmas and Im sure she will be playing with it for many years to come!
