Fisher-Price Little People Christmas Nativity Set for Your One-Year Old

A trusted Christmas playset From Fisher-Price is the perfect gift for a one-year old. If you are looking for a simple and affordable gift, idea you couldn't do better than a beautiful Christmas themed gift set by Fisher-Price.

Packed within an attractive box your child will find hours of fun. On this page I have chosen to highlight a popular Nativity-themed set, which is appropriate for children aged one year and up.

My children LOVED their Fisher-Price playsets. The options we had from Fisher-Price were limited in comparison to the choices you have today but the sets we owned were well loved. I know my children would have loved this playset, too...

THE CHRISTMAS NATIVITY STORY PLAYSET

This set will allow your young children to enjoy the Christmas story. Included are the stable, manger and twelve figures that include the baby Jesus. They’re sized appropriately for small hands and will help improve fine motor skills. They are also perfect for imaginative play and will also help youngsters develop storytelling skills.

Be aware that not all Fisher-Price playsets are appropriate for one-year olds. This set is.

"Finally, a Nativity Set that little hands can touch. I have always had one out for Christmas up until two years ago when my kids were born. This year I am putting out this one without any worries of the kids playing with it. The set is very cute and well made. Thank you very much Fisher Price." - Karen Scheffe

Wentworth Wooden Jigsaw Puzzles

The Wentworth Wooden Jigsaw Company was created in 1991. It produces interesting wooden puzzles in a factory that is located in England. Their puzzles can be found in specialty shops around the world and some are even custom made. 

Wentworth's website says that they use “state-of-the-art, computer-controlled lasers” to create their puzzles and that they follow “the Victorian puzzle-making tradition by using whimsies." That is, pieces that are related to the puzzle. For instance, a piece from a Harry Potter puzzle might be shaped like a sorting hat.

With puzzles ranging from 25 to 1,500 pieces in size, there are puzzles available for experienced and inexperienced jigsaw puzzlers. The fact that they are made out of wood means that they can be made and remade without deteriorating the way cardboard puzzle pieces do. The puzzles are beautiful, making extra nice gifts that your recipient will have forever. 

You can see all of the Wentworth wooden jigsaw puzzles available on eBay by clicking right here.

EARNSCLIFFE PUZZLE

The puzzle shown here is from Wentworth's Fine Art Collection and shares the architecture of Earnscliffe, the iconic Ottawa, Ontario home of Canada's first Prime Minister, Sir John A. Macdonald. The box says that this puzzle is "cut in the classic Victorian style, in which every piece is a different shape and some pieces are cut in shapes that may reflect the image. Pieces are cut in patterns that challenge, intrigue, frustrate and confuse. Corners are frequently bisected and straight pieces can be in the middle of the puzzle." 

It features a fall-themed image of the building that now and since 1930 has served as the Residence of the British High Commissioner to Canada. It has 250 pieces and will measure 10 inches by 14 inches when completed. It would be perfect for fans of Canadian history and architecture.  

Find Wentworth's Earnscliffe puzzle here in my eBay store. Currently, it is the only one available on eBay and, once it is sold, it may be difficult to find another.

See you

at the puzzle table!

McDonald's McNugget Buddies 2023

This post may contain affiliate links, which means we may receive a commission, at no cost to you, if you make a purchase from Amazon, eBay or Etsy through a link.

As an adult who has long ordered a McDonald’s Happy Meal for herself, I was intrigued to discover that McDonald’s, in conjunction with an American artist named Kerwin Frost, launched an adult Happy Meal in December of 2023. 

Those Happy Meals all included one of six McNugget Buddies that related to some part of Frost’s childhood and one even represented the artist himself. 

On the McDonald's website, Kerwin Frost said “I’ve loved McDonald’s since I was a kid. I even had my own Ronald McDonald doll that I brought to picture day at school, and it was my dream to collect all the McNugget Buddies...Now, coming up with my own special set of Buddies—each one representing different aspects of self-expression—it’s unreal, a dream come true.”  

When the original McNugget Buddies were released in 1988, there were ten of them each with an interesting personality and mix-and-match outfits.

Here's a peek at the 2023 Buddies:

 

The six characters include: Kerwin Frost, the Mayor of Frost way; Don Bernice, the Wise Stylist; Uptown Moe, the Neighborhood Hero; Waffutu, the Curious Optimist; Brrrick, the Cool Guy and Darla, the Dreamer and yes, the 2023 version comes complete with mix and match outfits. 

There is also a rare Golden Nugget. What is the significance of the Golden Nugget? Just the luck of having one, I suppose. There is no prize attached to it unless you decide to sell yours on eBay where the little guy seems to be selling from $10 to $150 plus shipping. You can see for yourself the Golden Nuggets by clicking here to eBay or all of the McNuggets by clicking here.

The box, which is covered in Frost’s work, includes the toy nugget and either a 10-piece Chicken McNuggets or a Big Mac, a French fries and a beverage. Find your Buddie McNuggets here on eBay where you can find the Golden Nugget Buddie, single Buddies or collections of all six.

There was also, by the way, additional Kerwin Frost McNuggets merchandise. Unfortunately, it is all sold out right now but yes, of course, you will can find some of it here on eBay!

See you

at McDonald's!

Tim Hortons Etched Brown Mug 50th Anniversary Limited Edition Cup 2014

Today, I am sharing with you a handsome brown mug that was designed in celebration of Tim Horton's 50th Birthday in 2014.

Fairly simple with a stylistic white number 50 etched out of the brown area, it is bilingual in English and French and also reads Since / Depuis 1964. The reverse side has Tim Hortons etched in a vertical, cursive print and the bottom denotes the status of this mug as a Limited Edition item. 

I love the chocolate color since it reminds me of a steamy hot cup of hot chocolate. The bottom does not say dishwasher or microwave safe and while I am certain it would suit the first appliance, you'd have to test it out and see if it suits the second. 

It is reasonably sized measuring 4 1/2 inches tall and 3 1/4 inches wide across the top without the handle and holds 16 ounces of your favorite beverage, whether that be Tim Hortons' coffee, steeped tea or something else. Personally, I am a tea drinker so you will find only tea and hot chocolate in my mug!

As I write this seven years have passed since the release of this mug. If you want to own it you will have to look at the secondary market and I recommend looking for it here, on eBay.

Tim Hortons' fans will want to raise this mug in celebration of  the 50th birthday of their favorite restaurant.
