A £62.99 dolls' playset was among the pricier items in the haul

She panned the camera across from one side of the room to the other - with almost every inch of spare floor space covered by toys or craft sets.
Among the pricier items that could be seen in the haul was the Little People Caring for Animals Farm, which retails for £48.99, the £39.99 LeapFrog Build a Slice pizza cart, the Silver Cross double doll stroller for £39.99 and the Joie 7 in one dolls playset for £62.99.
There was also a Kinetic Sand unicorn set for £25, a Pull My Finger game, at £16.99, and a £12.66 Play-Doh set, as well as more Play-Doh, Cocomelon bits, colouring pads and Peppa Pig items.
"Everything I've got my two-year-old for Christmas so far," Leah wrote over the top of the video.

And the comments section was quickly filled with people slamming Leah, with one writing: "Really? Bonkers, absolutely bonkers!"
"Over consumption, gross," another raged.
"Hey so this is insane!!" a third insisted.
"I did this once for Christmas and it was way too overstimulating for my kids, plus they didn’t appreciate the toys as much because there were too many," someone else wrote.

"People saying that she's not gonna be interested, she won't understand what presents are, she's gonna be ungrateful when she's older.
"And for me as a child, Christmas looked like this.
"I had three siblings as well and our Christmases were always with the tree full of presents."
Leah insisted she's always grateful, and has "worked hard for everything" she's got in her life.
"I do go all out for my child," she continued.
"Her birthday's in September so this will literally do her from December to September.
