Before choosing one, make sure you are clear about the dimensions. You don’t want to order one and have it be much larger or smaller than you expected. #3 and #9 for example, are really small.
Do you NEED a toy box? Probably not, as bins, baskets and even closets can do the storage job for you, but there’s something so perfectly old-fashioned about a sturdy wooden chest for storing a child’s playthings. Imagine if our kids actually only had enough toys to fill it up!
Areaware Alphabet Blocks
This set of 26 Alphabet Blocks from Areaware is a spectacular gift idea. The blocks, designed by Pat Kim, are approximately 2″ x 2″ x 2″ and made from Mahogany and Pine.
They retail for about $72.
Hanger Buddiez: Cuteness in the Closet
My toddler son just recently started picking out some of his own clothes. We definitely spend more time in the closet since this new interest has come about. We received a sample of Hanger Buddiez from SillyBranz Global recently and the new hangers definitely made my son one happy boy in the mornings.
The hangers come in several styles including zoo animals, pets, farm animals and monsters. My 2-year-old son, who requested a cow themed 2nd birthday party, of course chose the farm animals as an instant favorite.
The hangers look great and colorful in his closet and have held up his clothes well. They are definitely the right size for his 2T and 24 month clothing but would’ve been too large for most of his under 1-year items.
Packs of 16 hangers retail for about $14.
DwellStudio Poufs
DwellStudio now has you covered in the pouf department. With a variety of popular colors and patterns, you’re likely to find your perfect pouf (ottoman, footrest, stool, hassock) from DwellStudio. These range from $270 to $424. I’m partial to the Stripe and Marrakech designs.
Which are your favorites? For more options, search Surya Poufs.
