... stuff costs twice (or as much in £ a in $) as much as it does in the states! UGH!

I want to buy C a play kitchen for Christmas and Ive been researching early, in case it takes a long time for shipping (it can sometimes take 2-3 months). I want a nice wooden one and I've been looking at the KidKraft Vintage and Corner kitchens.

Just for reference... the red vintage kitchen costs $139 on US Amazon and £139 on UK Amazon ($206!!). The pink corner kitchen? $172 on US Amazon and £205 on UK Amazon. Thats $304!!!

Im so frustrated. I would just buy the stupid thing on US Amazon, but they wont ship it here.

At this rate, we'll just get that IKEA one and hack it.
