Have you tried IKEA for stocking fillers?

In the first in a couple of posts I have on stocking fillers, I bring you IKEA.

IKEA is a great place for great value stocking fillers, and although I can't make any promises, I seem to remember the one in Nottingham being uncharacteristically quiet in the run up to Christmas last year, an oasis of calm in the storm of Christmas shopping in fact.

Ikea are selling soft toys until Dec 23rd in aid of education projects organised by UNICEF and Save the Children, for every toy you buy a euro goes to charity.  They're great value, imaginative and great stocking fillers.  IKEA really understand how children play.  We've fallen for Bjorn bear and Mr Broccoli.

The play fruit and vegetable baskets are also lovely, both £6.99 and I really like the idea of the book TORVA, Heroes of the Vegetable Patch (£3.99) which features Mr Broccoli and friends. 

Mr Broccoli and Bjorn bear arrived on our doorstep in a box, we couldn't resist posting about them
