5 year olds have very little appreciation for anything...in fact come to think of it 10 year olds dont have much more.

Just a thought

Thats a fantastic idea our kids have one from Iain's parents and can add to it whenever we want.

Okie Stan - Bare with me for a few moments... I'm trying to find the webby for it.

When we were in Rudesheim (Germany) they had THE MOST GORGEOUS hand carved toys/musical toy boxes and all sorts. They were beautiful and well .... although they were for kiddies adults would buy them too (I did

) Not cheap but not too expensive... they did a whole shop dedicated to the nutcracker and... yeh one minute, I'll find it.... you have to see it!

Right! Found it!

This place is AMAZING! The stuff they do is phenomenal and the quality is out of this world! Really gorgeous, very personal and somewhat different gifts!

A lot of it is Christmas themed as that is what Rudesheim specializes in, but if you want something very special I think a Christmas ornament/musical box or something of the like would be perfect as it would be used with love every year and in thought of you at a very wonderful time of year

(I'm such a sop!)

My parents bought my sisters baby a cuckoo clock from here... similar to this one I think:

As an example of what they do here's some items:

This below is what they call a "pyramid"! They're SO AMAZING - when the wind catches them/you turn the top all of the parts move and it looks beautiful! This one is a more complex model but the simple ones are gorgeous too! (*warning* they tend to range between 600 - 3000 euros!)

More simple one:

Their musical boxes are supremely stunning - I have a small one for christmas and I love it so much! Here's a few of them:

They also do the nutcrackers as mentioned above (though they do look a little scary!):

Other stuff includes ornaments and wooden christmas decorations (of which I purchased a few of as they're superb!)

I hope you like the webby! It's superb and well... just that little bit different!

Only problem is, they may take 1 - 2 weeks to come. My parents said the delivery was surpisingly quick though and packaged amazingly!
