Christmas Gift Guide for Under 2's
What a year 2021 has been! With most of the country in extended lockdowns and all of us not being able to enjoying moving around visiting family and friends, our need to ensure our homes have been a safe and fun sanctuary for our little ones to grow was a priority. Yes, here we are! It's Christmas AGAIN! We are not sure how that happened but we have absolutely no doubt everyone is ready for some much needed family fun time.
Before we even arrive at Christmas Day, think about creating a tradition of a Christmas Eve box. With Europe having this tradition for centuries, it is wonderful to build the excitement! Laying out Santa and the reindeers snacks, leaving Santa a key (for the logistically minded kids who have been wondering how he gets in??) or popping a bauble on the tree all while in their Christmas PJs. Setting the scene for the fun days ahead is a fabulous way to start.



We have chosen items we feel sit with Riff Raffs philosophy of investment pieces as they will be in your family for many years to come. They educate while creating memories and experiences. There are so many fabulous gifts to choose from your family! Whether it's your little ones 1st Christmas (get the camera ready!) or 2nd, we have pulled together some really fab gifts for your little ones.
Personalised Christmas PJ Set
These are so much fun. And remember to include your other kiddos. The family in matching PJs makes a fab Christmas card for the following year too.



The Dress up Corner
You will see a role play theme coming up. But you can't play the part if you don't dress the part! These great costumes will give endless hours of fun. Doctors, Action heroes, Astronauts and so many more.




For the Budding Musician
The benefits of music in the first 2 years are so beneficial. Recent studies have shown that music affects the physical, emotional, and intellectual development of babies and children and strengthens cognitive and sensory development. These wooden sets will offer all of these aspects to your little one.

Dolls House Role play
Further on from the musical benefits, playing with dolls gives lots of opportunities to learn and practice different types of words for colours, size, position, actions, and feelings. Different types of words are the building blocks your toddler uses together to make longer sentences. A fabulous addition to your childs play room.

Way to Play Flexible Roads
These flexible rubber roads will go over any surface. Tiles, wooden floors, carpet, out in the dirt or at the beach! They are also double sided so you can make the corners go either way. So clever! This one is a winner!

Pram play
Strolley is a revolutionary design in imaginative play. This hand-woven rattan basket on wheels switches from a pram to a shopping trolley, by just lowering the hood of the pram. Perfect for dolls, pretend play, fruits and veggies or for your little one to push around their favourite toys. You can also add Bedding and a Mattress too so nap time is even snugglier.
