                The countdown has begun! You may be a little stressed about getting ship shape and organised but you are NOT alone. If you recognise the following festive scenarios, it’s highly likely that in fact, you’re bang on schedule and ready to roll into Christmas…     You may not have plucked those dodgy decorations out of the loft just yet but the thought has been niggling you for weeks.

We expect most of you have given a fleeting thought to the season of goodwill by now, if not started buying gifts already. You might even be one of those annoyingly organised folk who has everything bought and wrapped, with your cards stacked up, written and ready to go. If only we could say the same! For those of you lesser mortals who aren’t so adept, we might just be able to help. Not only have we got a gorgeous selection of gifts for children, we have some pre-Christmas essentials too...     Personalised Christmas goodies for that special little someone Children lov..

We hope you’ve all had a really lovely Christmas with some gorgeous gatherings and gifts, and are now gearing up for an equally happy new year...         The children are whacked and I am too after all the festivities and fabulous food. But I think our mellow mood is also because it’s that strange time of year when nothing feels quite how it should. The Christmas lights are still twinkling but there’s a certain sadness in the air that the magic is now over! Early mornings, late nights, plus too much indulgence in bubble-filled beverages have also taken their toll and all we ..

When we were children, we didn’t buy presents for anyone at Christmas, we just received lots for ourselves. As we got a little older we wanted to buy gifts for our parents. When we reached adulthood, we decided to get a little something for our brothers and sisters too (sometimes!). When we become aunties or uncles, we bought presents for the little ones and our new brothers or sisters-in-law. When we found love ourselves, we discovered a whole new set of parents, siblings, nieces and nephews to buy for, then came the tipping point...our very own children!       Who will your S..

Every so often at Christmas time, a new craze appears on the scene. It's usually something I declare will never catch on and will fade away before you can say ‘figgy pudding’. More often than not, I am wrong about such things. Never more so than in the case of everyone’s new best friends (and foes), the ‘Elves on Shelves’.   Many years ago, a friend of mine who was living in America informed me about these mischievous little creatures. We laughed our socks off at the thought of millions of children being made to toe the line by nothing more than spindly and sinister looking elves.   ..

So, those pesky children’s Christmas gifts...Have you bought them, wrapped them and stacked them under your tree yet?   Me neither. But I’m not fretting. Not just yet anyway. The all important lists are in my possession and I am trawling through them as we speak. I have added a few little trinkets of my own such as a personalised compact mirror and personalised jewellery box. I have also ordered some lovely personalised stationery too - the failsafe present that all little girls and boys will adore!         I’m not quite sure how to go about dealing with the particular..

December is almost here and you’re about to start shopping like you’ve never shopped before! The car parks are full, the weather is atrocious and there isn't a seat to be had in any coffee shop in town. Don’t you just love Christmas shopping? It has been said that lots more of us are buying gifts online nowadays but judging by the chaos on my local high street I beg to differ!   Despite my love of getting all ‘hygge’ before casually browsing for gifts online, there’s still something about the magical mayhem of being out amongst the throng of shoppers. It just has to be done!   Asi..

How many times does the word ‘ipad’ feature in this year’s mountain of Christmas lists I wonder? If you are a parent debating whether or not to take the plunge and buy a tablet for your child, then you might want to think again...   A recent study claims that we are more addicted to our devices than ever before. Not only that, but children who use them are likely to suffer sleep problems leading to poor health and even poorer schoolwork. Even a Little Lucy Willow children’s bed couldn’t fix that lot. Not great news eh?       Could our gorgeous Looby Lou children's double ..

Half term is upon us and thousands of delighted children have taken to our parks, cinemas, shops and streets. Everywhere is packed to the rafters! It’s a short but sweet school holiday peppered with halloween preparations and weather-permitting excursions which, more often than not, result in mud getting somewhere it shouldn't... I love how children live in the moment, soaking up the autumn rays, revelling in frosty breath and fireworks. If only mums and dads could do the same! You see, since becoming a parent I have realised that half term isn't just a little jolly to break up the season. ..

  Buying children presents is never an easy task. Their fads and fancies change like the wind and what you thought was a dead cert often turns into a dead end…Months of Minions are suddenly forgotten for the new craze on the block and on it goes. Woe betide the chancer who gifts the wrong superhero without doing their research first.   But there is one thing that ALL children love and that is something, anything, with their name emblazoned on it. There's nothing more thrilling to a child than ownership, that’s why we give you the option of adding names to our children’s beds as well a..

Christmas shopping should never be a chore. But when you’re surrounded by cheery festive overload it sort of pushes you to the other side of happiness. Oh and when you forget it’s Black Friday too...   Go just about anywhere and you’ll hear Shakin Stevens on loop, see shop assistants in titled santa hats and mechanical elves trapped in fake snow storms to remind you that ‘tis the season to be jolly’. Of course there are the crowds to contend with too. Like being swept up in the rapids it took all the strength I could muster to make my way to the shop entrance and cling on for dear life. ..
