"You can also go to Karen´s house and view the toys. I needed a present for a friend´s newborn baby so went to visit Karen. Not only is she a lovely person (I ended up staying a couple of hours!) who will give you a cup of tea, the toys are amazing and such good quality. I have found it really hard to find good quality toys here and this is definiltely a great find. She has toys to suit all ages and tastes and its really worth taking a look at her site to see what range she has to offer." (RL)
