"My goal is to get everything I know they like and love, want and need for Christmas at local thrift shops," said Sarah. She explained that she picked up most of the toys with her older children Arlo and Ellie in mind. These buys included a set of plastic food, which only set her back 50p and a 50p plastic digger for using in their sand pit.
She also picked up a Peppa Pig hat for her son and two masks for 50p a piece. For her seven-month-old she found a plastic toy which she could fill with fabric for him to pull out. Sarah also selected a suction toy to keep her baby entertained while she bathes him.
Both these baby-friendly buys set her back 50p each. She also picked up a "flat ball" which is designed to be thrown as a frisbee and caught as a ball, also for 50p. For £5, she found a wooden train set, which she pointed out would get years of use from both her sons.
