Big W has Burtle, Penguala or Draggle available and if you’re thinking of adding an egg (or two!) to your family, you have been warned! Get them now while they’re at a great price (and before they’re rarer than hens teeth!)
[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!

For children that love whimsy and fairy-magic, the Fairy Garden is 2017’s equivalent to last year’s popular fairy door. At under $25 this is great bang for buck with hours of enjoyment to be had. Design your garden, plant it and watch it grow – there’s months of fun ahead!
For dress-ups there’s also a host of cool choices but you can’t say no to the adorable Poppy the Troll costume complete with pink wig!
[mc_block_title custom_title=”8. Best in Craft: Tactile Fun for Busy Fingers!”]
Play Doh is an enduring and much-loved brand and Big W has really delivered with 25% off the whole range. It’s an ideal stocking filler or great value gift for other people’s kids.

Every mum appreciates storage, get on it!

It’s a Big W exclusive and only $49. If you’ve got a full Nerf arsonry already this is the gift that keeps on giving!
