Woodentoys.ie

Listening to NewsTalk today I heard about these guys, www.woodentoys.ie. It's a small, Irish family business that imports and sells beautifully crafted wooden toys online. They've got a huge range of stuff from baby rattles to customisable cars and doll houses and of course, really lovely old-school trains sets (like the above). If you feel the need to justify the cost of some of the larger or more advanced products, think about the fact that it will last much longer (being wooden) and does far less harm to the environment than all the plastic awfulness that you'll find in your local giant toystore.
