Popular plates

We did a feature last year on our Christmas plates and they proved to be more popular that we could have ever expected!

So, we thought we'd share our less festive plates to all our plate lovers!

All of the plates are hand painted, 23cm in diameter and are personalised with your own words and numbers.

For new babies, christenings, special events and for personalising a child's room with something a bit different these plates are just perfect!

At £19.95 these plates really are a fantastic home or gift idea.

* P&P is £1.95 or order, regardless of it's size.

Her who will be popping another pair of jeans in the trolley (next size up!) :)

The Gallery, a family story

The Gallery theme this week is "A Family Story". This photo is actually less of a story but more about the fond memories that the picture invokes. The photo was taken in my Nana's garden. I must've been 2 years old. I'm sat on my Uncle Tim's knee. My Dad is sat at the front on the grass (looking all young and handsome).

Now although I don't remember this moment it brings back a hundred memories in an instant!...

My Grandad used to grow onions and lay them on the path to dry once they'd grown. I used to sit and peel the skins off them! Not helpful but it must've been fun.

My Dad and Tim were and still are fans of gadgets! I'd bet a fiver that this photo wasn't taken by my mum or an Aunty!... Most likely on a tripod using self-timer.

The old man next door was a lovely chap. One of those who passed us the frisbee back EVERY time it went over his hedge, without moaning.

I could go on but I won't. I love this photo. It's one of very few I have of me and my Dad when I was young.

Our memories are what we base the family stories on that we pass on to our own children so I suppose this is about a family story after all.

Personalised bunting

When decorating a child's bedroom it is important to add the personal touches, photographs, favourite toys and teddies on display and something individual that puts the child's stamp on the room.
Many children have had their Mums and Dads leave us feedback saying how much they love their new personalised bunting. Available in five different designs it really is possible to have an individual piece to brighten up a wall.

There really is something for everyone!

This gorgeous reinforced fabric bunting has letters measuring approximately 13cm high. Prices start from £8.25 for three letters. Visit the website for further price and personalisation information.

You can see why the kids love it!

A video that speaks for itself

As many of you know, last weekend I flew to Gibraltar and visited a dog shelter in Los Barrios, Southern Spain.

The experience was truly amazing and I am already planning a return visit in March.

I could write reams about my experience but I just wanted to show you the video that sums up the trip.

I think it speaks for itself.

Kid's party season again!

There seemed to be something of a lull over Christmas and New Year but now the invites are hitting the mat again. Yes, the children's birthday parties have returned.
Kid's parties are great but finding an affordable gift (important when there are so many parties!) that no-one else has bought isn't the easiest of tasks, especially if everyone shops locally!
Why not opt for a personalised gift that is reasonably priced and will be different to everyone else's presents?


These gardening kits were very popular last year and with spring fast approaching, they are starting to fly out again. 
For just £7.95 each garden kit includes a rake, trowel, spade, a personalised wooden shape and a cotton bag with a unique design measuring 21 x 26cm. Available in pink or green they are great for girls and boys alike who enjoy helping in the garden.

If the child you are buying for prefers indoor fun, why not opt for one of our fantastic baking kits?

Available in four different colours, each baking kit includes a rolling pin, wooden spoon, pastry brush, spatula, a chopping board, 25 cake cases, a personalised wooden star and a cotton bag with a cupcake design that measures 21cm x 26cm.

These great kits are just £7.95

A firm favourite with many of our kids are the personalised clocks. These are a great gift for children who are learning or have learnt to tell the time. Available in different colours and designs this is great personalised gift choice. Each clock is £12.95.

These are just a few examples of the great personalised gifts we have that are perfect for children's parties so have a browse and see if anything else catches your eye.

We only charge £1.95 for p&p, regardless of the size of the order, so it could be worth stocking up!
