First on my list is Olivia's Fisher Price Kick and Play Piano gym. Two words: bloody brilliant! Olivia is forever kicking her arms and legs around so she finds this really fun to use! The bar is at a suitable height so she can actually reach the toys and the piano is quite sturdy so she can kick herself up her mat. If you have a sicky baby like I do then this is also very useful as I've just been wiping it down and it all comes off without needing to put it in the washing machine! Although it is one of the more expensive play mats priced between £44.99-£49.99 I've found it is definitely worth it. The colours are nice and bright, the mat is good quality and the songs on it aren't that annoying either! ;-)
Next on the list is the Vtech My 1st Car Key Rattle. It's a pretty basic toy but Olivia loves it! Along with talking, songs and flashing lights it also has the keys. One quite squidgy (good for chewing!), a plain hard key with beads on and another which is the rattle. I've found it really useful so far in her pram and in the car as its small but entertaining. Although it's probably suited for slightly older babies as its abit heavy for an 11 week old lazy child and find myself a pressing on the music for her!

Again probably better suited for an older baby as I have to constantly press the buttons, but she adores the songs and sounds on the Vtech Little Singing Bear! Very good for money too!

Of course Olivia wouldn't be a 2014 baby if she didn't have her Sophie! The original Sophie is slightly too big for her hands at the moment but the teething ring is a god send! I find these slightly pricey and will admit I only bought them because everyone seemed to be buying them and I wanted to see what all the fuss was about! Although I don't think the original Sophie is quite worth paying £13.99 for (yet), I would quite happily buy another teething ring if Liv ever lost hers. Personally Sophie la Girafe just reminds me of an over priced dog toy but as long as she likes it right?

I haven't quite worked out what to do with this one yet as you can connect it to your computer so it teaches them different things and I just never have the time but just from the standard toy I'm quite impressed. Olivia has a large pram and she loves having Violet sat next to her with the two minutes of bedtime music playing. I think it makes her feel like she has a little friend. She also likes the flashing of the bone on the collar. Also as its quite big she enjoys being all squished up to it! At £22 I don't think it's overly expensive for what it can do but at the moment I've seen a lot of places doing them at half price! So I would definitely recommend getting one for only £11! Bargain!
My other favourite presents of Olivia's include a gorgeous wooden pram with a ballerina doll, a wooden music box and a very sweet Cath Kidston toy and bag! We have one spoilt and very happy baby!
