Re the zebra I've seen hundreds on our selling site as "unused as little one didn't like" so personally I'd buy second hand. I can see why, when they can walk I'm not sure they'll stop? Haha.
My Es list is getting longer but includes shape sorter, more mega blocks, jigsaw puzzles (the wooden type); trike with handle, ride on toy, my first doll and pram, rocking caterpillar. Stocking fillers so far.. wellies; hand puppets, cook book. I've asked for a swimming bag and personalised towel, memory bunny; apron for cooking cook books, play tea set.
Other possibilie stuff... kitchen, easel, dolls house (to build up).
