Aaagghh .... what to buy for Christmas?!

This article gives suggestions for Christmas presents including: music, DVDs and videos, electronic games, toys, board games and sports gear. It includes a small section on 'toy safety' which refers to the 'Five S' guide: "Size- the smaller the child, the bigger the toy, Surface - check that paints and fillings are non-toxic and fire-resistant, Strings - check that strings or tails on toys aren't long enough to cut off a child's circulation, Supervision - a supervised child is a safer child, Smooth - a smooth toy surface means a child is less likely to scratch or cut themselves."
