It's that time of year when I start shopping @ Amazon for Christmas presents. After I checked out - I went to look at a few other toys and realised that Mighty World Toys are available for international shipping for the first time this year - I'm a bit cranky at myself because I would have added them to my order & saved a bit more on the shipping charges. I'm also about to place a US Toys R Us order as well, now that they ship internationally My Amazon order should be here by 8th November. What is everyone else looking at ?

Spot It rocks! I have been having more trouble finding stuff that will ship here this year so I am yet to order anything. I may get it all from toysrus.com instead.

ednaboo do you use the Amazon Global Eligible function on the left hand side of the screen about halfway down? I have have received most of my orders Lalaloopsy dolls, bed, backpacks. Lego storage head (soft), lego construction worker torch, Melissa and Doug dollhouse furniture, people and a princess mirror. I also got "Where children sleep", Lalaloopsy books and an activity set, Found the the lalaloopsy dolls were priced between 15-24.00 dollars and are priced between 38-50.00 here if you can get them at all.

I just did an order with Toys R us for some small things just to see what the delivery times were like. I love with them that when you click open the item it tells you on the item whether it can ship internationally, why can't Amazon make it that easy

I put in an order at Amazon for a couple of Bruder trucks, a BusyTown game, story cubes, Melissa and Doug puzzles and bead sets. Half of it has been shipped already but of course, the bruder trucks, which I really, really want to arrive in time for Christmas are delayed... I am about to put in an order at Toysrus for the Duplo doctors clinic and a Yoda alarm clock. They are each almost half price (not quite) compared to here. Just hope they arrive in a timely manner! ;-)

I ordered from Toysrus on Thursday and got an email saying it was shipped on Saturday. So I will be interested in how long it takes

Does anyone have any recommendations for musical instruments for toddlers on Amazon? I'm thinking little egg shakers, bongos, percussion instruments mainly.
