[mc_block_title custom_title=”5. Best Nostalgic Toy”]

If you’re a child of the 80’s the all-original but 2017 release of Strawberry Shortcake will have you pining for more carefree days. She’s still as gorgeous as ever and oh-so-ready to be loved by a new generation of kids. To be honest you’ll buy this beauty because of how she makes you feel mum, it’s almost beside the point that your little one will adore her too. Strawberry Shortcake is a traditional rag doll so she’s a lovely, snuggly gift for a toddler or even a beautiful décor choice for a baby’s bedroom.

[mc_block_title custom_title=”6. Best Gifts for Creating Future Cool”]

If you’d like a home filled with mini maestros or at minimum, lots of happy noise there’s stacks of musical choices to be had. Our favourite is the Gibson branded electric guitar and amp. It’s everything you need to start a child off for music lessons and it’s got serious street cred. (If your little people are younger be sure to note there’s 20% off wooden musical instruments and an entry level kids style electric guitar for $59!) Rock on!
