Great gift guide! Ironically I work in retail but have very little time to browse so this has been really helpful xx (it's also reminded me to be a spirograph for my son as a big brother present for when my baby is born in May...it was the gift my husband received from his baby brother 35yrs ago! So yes, a timeless classic!)
Charlie Mackesy has just launched prints from his book on his website that you could buy for the nursery! I‘m very tempted to get some too (I’m a children’s therapist).
My daughter is about 2 months younger than River and she also LOVES baby dolls. She will make anything into a baby blanket for her doll (my husband's socks, her jacket, etc.) and sing a little night night baby song ❤ I'm pregnant and due in January so I just see this as some big sister practice!
River is just gorgeous! My daughter was 2 in August and she’s the same with dolls, although I did find one face down in the wardrobe recently, let’s hope she doesn’t try to do the same with her little brother when he arrives! Fab gift guide, love the kinetic sand I’ve added that to her list!x
Oh that wicker pram is just adorable! I agree about the wooden toys! I want my children, when I have them, to have mostly wooden toys - would be fun to even make them and like paint them together!
Thank you for sharing little River in your video. Also Spirograph is awesome. I’m 34 and remember it well. Hope you are doing well Fleur. Really hoping you will do some kind of vlogmas??? Xx
Hey Fleur, I've been watching you for goodness knows how many years, at least 8. I just wanted to say how helpful this video was. I am an only child (still say this at 27 years old) and therefore have never had any younger family members to buy gifts for. However, as I am the only organised part of my relationship with my boyfriend, I am always in charge of presents, and he has two nephews! I adore them and want them to really enjoy the presents we buy them, but I am very conscious of not wasting money, things actually lasting, and being eco friendly blah blah blah. Thank you for showing such a great variety of gifts available. I hope River loves her presents and you guys have a brilliant Christmas.
If you want beautiful, good quality dolls you should try: Corolle. I used to play with them when I was little (I'm 31) and now my niece plays with them. I bought her first dolls from Corolle. They are a French brand and they smell amazing.
Great selection here Fleur, I already have bought the book recommendation for my Goddaughter! Love how you are also helping with what gifts work for which age ranges, this is SOOOOOO helpful! THANK YOU! I have really appreciated your gift guides this year- they have been really good! x
Great video as always! Loved all the gift guides. So much thought and effort put in them. I can’t believe how much Riven has grown! She’s so cute ☺️ Keep up the great work Fleur ❤️
I love the little ice cream stand I’ve got it on my Amazon wish list for my sons second birthday!! It so much nice than then the popular plastic version! Also that Harry Potter game looks great definitely a present for my sister xx
Thank you for being conscious about the plastic. I'm also trying to buy smarter (all the time, but Christmas can be plastic heavy!), and have always tried to buy presents that will last, even for kids, though they grow so fast. Got some good ideas to add to the list for my goddaughter (who is getting a special Christmas bauble and a few games - uno, dobble, mikado mix probably - that she can play for years and years to come), as well as for some smaller kids.
Love this 💕 gave me lots of ideas. Random question but how is your birthday piercing healing? Can you do a video on the various ones you have? I’ve just had my helix done but would love to have more
Awwww River is such a cutie😍 Almost 2, time goes so fast! I LOVE Melissa and Doug toys, have quite a few puzzles and toys in my classroom. Found them in a toy outlet for a third of the price!
violetstar26 books I think are good that the parents can read to the kids for a couple of years, clothing and toys at that age they’ll age out of quickly. Toys for 1 year olds are those brightly coloured or physically touching like kinetic sand rather than lol dolls/frozen or fort nite/marvel stuff for older kids.
Hey Fleur, this is such a n00b request but for all the toys can you tell us the recommended ages next year (from and up to)?? As someone who has to purchase gifts for friends kids, but has no idea what age these things are appropriate for I really struggle haha. I've got a one-year-old friends child to buy for who is definitely getting that cuuuuttteee hat and the book though, so your recommendations are still really helpful!
I have the ice cream toy and its realy grate. My two boys live it - my 5 year old got it about two years ago, plays with it on and off since, now my 1.5 year old plays with it too. Always a favorte when other kids come to play also.
Oh my god! I literally bought the night bus (Harry Potter) when I was like 14. I loved it so much! and I still have the figures, despite the rest being lost somewhere :D Very nice video in general, very well round in terms of longivity, gender, and age.
River is adorable! Omg! Awesome recommendations, I like the sand one and I think I’ll get it for my boyfriends niece and nephews! Good group gift and interactive! Also kind of want to play with it some myself 😂
Fleur is that the duvet behind you from your video background of years ago!?!?! I’m an OG subscriber and I just have to know! I always loved that purple duvet!
Haha yes it’s the same one! It currently lives in our spare room still but I moved it into here for the Christmas videos as I thought it looked festive! :) good memory!!
A nice gift for book and non book lovers alike would custom educational books, or what we call *personalised childrens books* - when themed right, it makes for a nice "growing up" gift to developing children
I had three girls and my youngest daughter is the one who is into babies. Neither of the older two were but my seven year old has a multitude of babies and dolls in every shade and always wants more. You wait till River gets wind of Our Generation dolls😮! They have a whole ice cream truck x
I’m so sad Next don’t sell they’re kids pjs to Australia anymore (something about them not meeting Australian fire safety standards) I absolutely loved buying the 3packs each summer and winter. The quality is fantastic!
Oo wauw Spirograph loved this bring so many memories back !! 😜. Aww the wooden ice cream shop. Love it .. Great ldeas Fleur Thank you. River look so cute with her pink bobble hat .
Ok Fleur...the hit of the vlog was that gorgeous girl, that I find so much like Mike now in that pink hat........absolutely adorable.....Donna in Toronto
I love buying kids clothes in Next and shoes. Marks & Spencer’s also H&M are good stores too for kids. Since kids grow up so fast I buy majority in Primark Penny’s going school no need to dress good clothes as they get destroy.
I imagine you went to a lot of trouble (aka work) to make the video, but the best part is River’s “cameo.” 😍 Although, if you think about it, you “made” her too. And I bet that was a lot harder! 😄 I’m rambling...nice video!
River modelling the hat she’s to beautiful my heart just melted 💕 xx
I can’t believe River is almost 2 where did the time go?! I remember watching your pregnancy vlogs.
River modeling her hat is super cute, she's so gorgeous! X
River in that pink hat! She's just the cutest :)

So sweet!
I'd buy the kinetic sand for myself. I love watching that stuff move.

No kids to buy for(grown up kid, no grandkids) but hubby is getting a Spirograph!

I can’t believe River is turning 2. I remember you announcing you were pregnant. Time flies. She is an absolute little beauty.
Love your jumper! Your look, hair, red lipstick!!! Love it!!!
If you want beautiful, good quality dolls you should try: Corolle. I used to play with them when I was little (I'm 31) and now my niece plays with them. I bought her first dolls from Corolle. They are a French brand and they smell amazing.
Yes! They’re wonderful!
Nothing better than the smell of a Corolle doll! They truly are the best!
agree!
Ooh thanks!

I had Spirograph and I 58 shows it a good toy it's survived the years. Thanks Fleur some good suggestions ❤️
Great video as always! Loved all the gift guides. So much thought and effort put in them.
I can’t believe how much Riven has grown! She’s so cute ☺️
Keep up the great work Fleur ❤️
What a fun gift guide! Great ideas I have not seen yet!
Hi Fleur, thanks for the video. Love your make up look in this video. Will you do a tutorial? Thanks
Yes I watched this, to just see Riv!! I have no little ones right now in my life, but I hoped you'd show her. She is cute!! And great ideas Fleur!
Hi . River looks just so much like you fleur nearly 2 already how time flies xx
The Spirograph would be a fab stress buster for adults too. 😍
I love the little ice cream stand I’ve got it on my Amazon wish list for my sons second birthday!! It so much nice than then the popular plastic version! Also that Harry Potter game looks great definitely a present for my sister xx
Thank you for being conscious about the plastic. I'm also trying to buy smarter (all the time, but Christmas can be plastic heavy!), and have always tried to buy presents that will last, even for kids, though they grow so fast.

Excellent video with some brilliant suggestions ... Loved little River in the pom pom hat 🥰 so cute! Well done on all the gift guides Fleur 🎁🎄
Thank you for the book recommendation! I think it’s beautiful and perfect for my niece. I’m excited it’s sold in America too.
I don't have any kids, yet here I am watching. Love all of your videos, Fleur.
I loved Spirograph as a child! Nice to see that it's still around.
I’ve been following you for years and you remain my favorite TH-camr. I’d love if you did more baby/kid content!
i love watching this even though im 21 with no kids lol
I love all the wooden Melissa and Doug toys !
Love this 💕 gave me lots of ideas.
Random question but how is your birthday piercing healing? Can you do a video on the various ones you have? I’ve just had my helix done but would love to have more
Awwww River is such a cutie😍 Almost 2, time goes so fast! I LOVE Melissa and Doug toys, have quite a few puzzles and toys in my classroom. Found them in a toy outlet for a third of the price!
Yess so helpful!! Thank you Fleur! I’ve been wondering what to get for my niece and nephew!
Would you do a what we’re getting river for Christmas. I have two 1 year olds to buy for and just don’t know where to start.
violetstar26 books I think are good that the parents can read to the kids for a couple of years, clothing and toys at that age they’ll age out of quickly. Toys for 1 year olds are those brightly coloured or physically touching like kinetic sand rather than lol dolls/frozen or fort nite/marvel stuff for older kids.
as a mom of twins also, 1 year olds love boxes! lol wait until they are older to buy "real" gifts! xx
I have just bought that book and I’m 43! Beautiful sentiments in it. I think it would also make a beautiful christening present x
Hey Fleur, this is such a n00b request but for all the toys can you tell us the recommended ages next year (from and up to)?? As someone who has to purchase gifts for friends kids, but has no idea what age these things are appropriate for I really struggle haha.

River in that hat and her cute little wave...SWOON!!!
Great gift guide! My 2 year old son loves that wooden ice cream set!
Carrie Hope Fletcher was just talking about that book! She said she loved it 😊
Awww! River is too adorable with the pink hat!! 😍 So so cute. xx
Oh my goodness River is just the cutest!!!!
Lipstick info please!
Charlie Mackesy is my favourite artist!! His book is so beautiful, works for adults as well! He's bringing out prints of some of the pages too! 😍 😍 😍
River is precious! God bless! 😘👶
Thanks Fleur ! Your hat model did a great job, very cute, gorgeous 👌🏻👋🏻💗
I bought the book for my daughters birthday. She’s 30! Xx
Your Xmas spirit and enthusiasm is very infectious :-)
that lipstick shade looks fab on you!
Lulu is seven?!?! Whoa. I've been watching you for so long!
I have the ice cream toy and its realy grate. My two boys live it - my 5 year old got it about two years ago, plays with it on and off since, now my 1.5 year old plays with it too. Always a favorte when other kids come to play also.

Oh those modelling shots of River 😍😭
Oh my gosh River is adorable. Our kids are almost the same age. My little boy was born January 17th 2018... time flies so fast..
Can u do a teen gift guide
River admires you she does what you do to her with her dolls❤️❤️❤️
That s so sweet she is trying to be you omg next step will be makeup 😆😆😆😆
Great gift guide again! Got loads of inspo for my 3 xxx
I can’t believe she’s two! Beautiful like her momma. The doll pram is lovely. I’m putting it on my future list to purchase. Hugs, Summer xo
Great ideas for kids! Think my nephew will really like the harry potter dobble 😀
River is adorable! Omg!
Awesome recommendations, I like the sand one and I think I’ll get it for my boyfriends niece and nephews! Good group gift and interactive! Also kind of want to play with it some myself 😂
What is this lipstick?!?! I'm obsessed ❤❤❤
Fleur is that the duvet behind you from your video background of years ago!?!?! I’m an OG subscriber and I just have to know! I always loved that purple duvet!
Haha yes it’s the same one! It currently lives in our spare room still but I moved it into here for the Christmas videos as I thought it looked festive! :) good memory!!
Great video! By the way, I think the price point for these gifts is very spot on ☺️
Aw I just died seeing River here. What a little cutie pie 💕
That book looks so sweet! I'll be getting it for my little girl. Also, I love your watch! Can I ask where from? :)
Hello, what size hat did you buy for River? Does that come up big too? xx
Bought my girls the spirograph set for xmas! Brings me back to my childhood!
A nice gift for book and non book lovers alike would custom educational books, or what we call *personalised childrens books* - when themed right, it makes for a nice "growing up" gift to developing children
Such a fun and nice gift guide! Now I want to buy the book - just for me (it is so beautiful!) Many thanks for the recommendations :)
That’s so cute about river and the dollies 💓💓
Okay ordered that book straight away. 🙊🙊 And will be getting that hat for the newly born baby in our family. 😬😍🥰
Kinetic sand is loads of fun , but deadly for those curious dogs 😮
Great video Fleur! So many helpful ideas!
Fantastic choice of kids presents. 10 out of 10!
Great great gift guide! Thank you 👍🏻💓💓💓💓
I had three girls and my youngest daughter is the one who is into babies. Neither of the older two were but my seven year old has a multitude of babies and dolls in every shade and always wants more. You wait till River gets wind of Our Generation dolls😮! They have a whole ice cream truck x
I loved my spirograph! What a great idea! I had forgot what it was called!!
The nerf gun is cool but we have had bad experience with the Fort nite branded ones. They just don’t work properly.
I loved watching this video ! My son is 26 month old... River is super cute 😍
I’m so sad Next don’t sell they’re kids pjs to Australia anymore (something about them not meeting Australian fire safety standards) I absolutely loved buying the 3packs each summer and winter. The quality is fantastic!
Love your eyeshadow 😍😍😍
Some really great ideas! Well done.
Do you mean that the Legler pram isn’t that good a quality?
I love your makeup in this vid by the way x
Omg loved spirograph so nostalgic
Any other ideas for nice presents for my sons first Christmas? X
Oo wauw Spirograph loved this bring so many memories back !! 😜. Aww the wooden ice cream shop. Love it ..
Great ldeas Fleur Thank you. River look so cute with her pink bobble hat .
I love that book and often share the images on Facebook. 💕
Ok Fleur...the hit of the vlog was that gorgeous girl, that I find so much like Mike now in that pink hat........absolutely adorable.....Donna in Toronto
Cute stuff! Thanks for sharing.
I love buying kids clothes in Next and shoes. Marks & Spencer’s also H&M are good stores too for kids. Since kids grow up so fast I buy majority in Primark Penny’s going school no need to dress good clothes as they get destroy.
What a dreamy gift guide 💗
Those trainers look to have no flex in the sole. Not sure if they actually do?
Loving these gift guides 😊👍
My little boy will be 2 on the 28th december and he obsessed with anything his older sibling play with.
River is the cutest!
book looks stunning except most kids in use are not taught cursive anymore! it's crazy! xx
Not a kid, don’t have a kid but loved this video 😆
I imagine you went to a lot of trouble (aka work) to make the video, but the best part is River’s “cameo.” 😍 Although, if you think about it, you “made” her too. And I bet that was a lot harder! 😄 I’m rambling...nice video!
