Children’s Storage Solutions

Next month I’m going up to Scotland for my niece’s christening. (She’s the baby sister to the nephew I’ve mentioned in other posts.) As a proud auntie, I’m looking into gifts that fall outside the realm of traditional silver tchotkies; something that will be fun and also useful for the family.

They live in a smallish house, so I’m thinking about getting some type of childrens storage for their bedroom. Right now, their toys are just EVERYWHERE, and now that there are twice as many, it’s getting a tad out of hand. Ideally I want something neutral that the niece and nephew can share (because sharing is good ) and also portable, in case it ends up downstairs or goes on holiday with them. There are really cute baskets and cases at the link above; it’s just a matter of picking which one. They also have a really neutral storage chest that I’d love to get, maybe for one of their birthdays this summer (since it’s a bigger gift). And of course I’ll fill it with a toy or two, because mums love storage and kids love toys.
