Lamaze my friend Emily was bought as a present for us, it is currently available from Amazon for £7.21 and is worth much more than that for us.

My Friend Emily follows the familiar theme of Lamaze toys, it offers a variety of ways for baby to be stimulated, bright colours, interesting textures and sounds, this has been a toy our little one adored and still adores to this day.

Looks:

Emily is a pretty little thing with rosy cheeks and a bright smile, she has a sun hat and a necklace with little balls in which rattles when you shake her, her dress hem is made of scrunchy material that little ones love and she is a beautiful little toy with real personality.

How to use her:

We use her generally either as a toy for our babies play mat or we use the clip and attach her to the pram as a pram toy when we go out, our little one loves the scrunchy dress hem and the rattle of her necklace, she loves biting her too although I'm not sure that was what she was designed for.

Why to buy her:

I would suggest if you want your child to feel, hear and see interesting things in a toy, Emily is a must, she is slightly effeminate for a little boy but for little girls is the perfect first dolly, her soft material makes it easy for baby to hold and cuddle, her clip makes her portable and easy to drop into a pram or baby gym, she rattles, she scrunches, she holds some rings which our little one loved to chew when teething and is generally one of the best all purpose toys we bought.

I would suggest Emily is a real bargain and might even become cheaper after Christmas, she offer longevity, variation and good looks, all three things any new parent could wish for in a toy.

Emily is 26cm long and weighs about 200g, she is easy to store in a toy box and is flexible enough to be folded up if you really need her to be, her bold colours excite our little one and she offers lots of different reasons for play, she is a recommended toy and a 5 out of 5 for me.
