Toby loved one of those bendy flowers with the smiley face. He was 3 weeks old at christmas and Ollie got it for him. We put it on the car seat so he could see it when we went out and he used to smile at it and gurgle to it.

AJ loves his musical gym, its the fisher price classical music one with lights. turns into toys for older babies too like a piano etc

They sell them in loads of gift shops these days. I bought a load in the Co op too.
They cost about £3 and he still plays with it 10 months later.

I don't think rattles etc are any good for newborns as they can't hold them obviously. The BEST thing we EVER bought Lucy and i WISH i'd used it from day one was this...

Probably more than you wanted to spend but it was FAB and i only put it up in the loft when she was 11 months because she was using it as a surf board

Playgym, and a car seat mobile which we used to put over her moses basket

We bought Lottie this for Xmas last year and she has loved it ever since, she has literally just been playing with it:

It can hang from anything, playgym, pushchair, cot etc and they have great fun making it chime! And only a fiver

Dylan's absolute favourite as a newborn was his play mat from M&P. He also adored his Tiny Love cot mobile. He didn't really bother with anything else until he was a bit older.
