Christmas spirit!
We just have to share with you the wonderful story of a little 10yr old boy who came into the shop today. He came in with a purpose, to get his Christmas presents for his mum, dad and three year old sister.
He saved up his birthday and chore money all year to buy these presents. So he carefully spent some time choosing the right things and was very enthusiastic about getting what he thought they would love. He decided on his sister first and paid for them and then went to look for a novel for his mum, asking for help. Realising he didn't have enough money in his pocket, he ran home in the rain to fetch more from his secret hiding place! On his return we helped him choose a novel which he paid for and next it was dad's book to choose. He loved the Steve Jobs book and knew it would be perfect for his dad, as 'he loves and buys all the Apple gadgets, except for the iPad as he can't afford it'. Looking at the price, he was just short £5 so off he whizzed home (still raining!) to fetch a bit more money.
In the end he bought:
Mum - The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery
Dad - Steve Jobs by Walter Issacson
Little sister - The Big Colouring Book by Usborne, finger puppets from Fiesta Crafts and some colouring pencils
We think he is the most wonderfully kind, thoughtful and generous little boy we've come across this year and we like to declare him the BOY OF THE YEAR 2011! In these madly busy times, he was the best example of Christmas spirit and we salute him!

It's as easy as ABC!

| Lift and Look Alphabet |
The Alphabet Lift and Look puzzle is great for letter recognition and association, as you peep underneath each letter for a matching item.

| Number Puzzle |
The Number Puzzle also encourages number recognition and is accompanied by matching numbers of fruits along side each brightly patterned number.
Priced at £13.99, these are really great gifts for pre-schoolers. Beautifully made, they are a great learning toy for keeps.

The return of the Wombles!
The Wombles are close to our hearts here at The Golden Treasury (see the picture of Great Uncle Bulgaria with Sue Foster the owner). Being a stones throw from Wimbledon Common (their stomping ground), they are a wonderful childhood classic for us here. Who can forget their ingenious ways of using the rubbish they found and what an introduction to recycling?
We were so excited to see the beautiful reissues of the original Wombles books by Elizabeth Beresford last year! We now have the very soft Wombles plush in stock now, the DVD of the original TV series and also the new fully illustrated version of The Wombles. This first book introduces us to the the well loved characters such as Great Uncle Bulgaria and always hungry Orinoco! This special book comes complete with an audio CD with three specially selected Wombles stories ready by the one and only Bernard Cribbins, the original voice of the Wombles.
Introduce this to a new generation of children, we are sure they will love them as much as so many adults like us do now!
