Nuby | Wooden Baby Walker
For little tots that are eager to get up and go, I recommend the activity-packed Wooden Baby Walker (£52.99 nuby-uk.com).

Great for encouraging hand-eye development, the fun baby walker features spinning cogs, twisting blocks, a learn-to-play xylophone, and round rotating mirror. There is also a handy storage area at the back of the walker to store away other toys.

Both the bowl and plate feature detachable silicone suction bases - available in six colours - that ensure both items grip firmly to a highchair or table. Each plate also features separate sections, so mealtimes to be easily divided into vegetables, carbs, and protein.

From the creators of the international bestseller The Lion Inside, The Gecko And The Echo (£12.99 Waterstones) is a flamboyantly fun tropical tale of love, fame, and friendship, and it makes for the perfect Christmas gift. The picture book is about Goldy the gecko who only wants one thing – to be a STAR. On the sunny island Goldy calls home, it’s always The Goldy Show, morning until night. But when you’re dazzled by the limelight, it’s easy to lose sight of the world around you. And when Goldy’s performance starts to go wrong, the little gecko discovers that friendship means so much more than fame. This funny and touching rhyming story is perfect for reading with friends and family.
