Luxurious children’s toys are ideal for parents looking for something a little different, unique and a little more meaningful than what you can find in your average toy shop. Children have so many toys nowadays and with new ones coming out every year, Christmas lists are getting longer and longer with the latest must-haves. A little bit of luxury can become a family heirloom and passed down through the generations, in particular, a rocking horse or dolls’ house. A life-size stuffed bear makes a perfect addition to a baby’s nursery and will grow part of your child’s room, while a garden playhouse will give provide endless hours of imaginative play. Don’t forget, if you’re looking for something extra special, Harrods’ Toy Concierge offers a bespoke gifting service to find the perfect present for your little one.
Steiff has been producing stuffed toys for around 140 years and is famed for both its collectable and soft toys. While the larger collectable animals, like this elephant, aren’t technically toys, they’re an adorable addition to any child’s nursery. Hansa also has a beautiful collection of soft animal toys, with airbrushed details added by hand.
