1. Think of a Group Baby Shower Gift Box or Baby Shower Basket
If feasible it might be easier and more practical to all club in for something special for your mum to be. This also eliminates guests arriving with the same gift ideas and receiving too much of one thing and not enough what your mum to be needs right now. Think a mixed Group gift of practical bits for baby and also maybe include a nice gift for mum herself such as a candle or anything self care related she will need it now more than ever!
2.Pick a Sentimental Baby Shower Gift
Think Special Gifts for Mum and Baby such as our baby record book to record everything from bump to birth and onward. Baby record books are a great way to keep note of all the little things that you will NEVER remember after a couple of month of sleep deprivation. I recently found my own child's bump to birth journal and it was lovely to read it to him- all the little things he did that you don't always remember in those first few months.
3.It's always a lovely idea for everyone to write their own personal message to the mum to be and new baby making mum feel supported and excited for her new arrival!
4.Baby Shower Ideas
When you are waddling and near the end of your pregnancy you want to feel good when showing up to your baby shower.. so why not treat mum to a wash and blow dry prior to the baby shower as part of your baby shower gift and part of her baby shower experience.
Baby showers are a lovely way for Mum to start her journey to motherhood . If you would like to hear more on our Baby Shower Gift Ideas please contact us- we can make our baby shower gifts personal for your Mum to Be.

]]>1. Consider the Season
It's so easy to pick up that cute little knitted baby gift set in 6-9 months but baby certainly won't be kitted out in woollens come July so consider the season in your chosen older size so baby gets to sport it in season
2. Mixing Practical and Pretty
Picking the perfect baby gift consists of choosing something which will be practical but also you want them to look edible! So I always suggest adding booties or socks or a practical cardigan to finish off an outfit , something new mammies can mix and match with the rest of their tiny wardrobe! Practical gifts such as sleep bags are something a new baby will get great use of.
3.Think outside the box
Why not pick a sentimental baby gift that baby have forever, such as a vintage plush toy with Birth certificate- include new babies name and Date of Birth and Mum will more thank likely keep this for years to come as a nostalgic gift.

4. Consider a Gift Voucher
Why not encourage new parents to get out of the house and into our Kids store to spend their new baby gift card? They can spend it at their leisure and baby & parents can get some fresh air while at it- not to mention some adult conversation other than baby talk!
]]>It is becoming more and more difficult for children to switch off from screens and distractions. Life is becoming so fast paced, it is important that children are exposed to the world of books and imagination. I feel it is a wonderful thing that you bring with you throughout your life. I have always loved the idea of gifting a child with a book, addressed to them, with the date.( A nice keepsake also)
Our Children's Books all have a lesson/meaning to them. Story time is so important as it allows parents 10 minutes of uninterrupted one to one time at the end of the day ( normally hectic!) whilst helping their development.
Our Free Story time will continue In Store. Some of our Books for sale included Peter Rabbit & Julia Donaldson.
Happy Reading!

]]>For instance if you are opting for a vintage/ Boho style Wedding Dress or venue, our Elfie London Collection will work perfectly for this look. With its whimsical beauty and old world charm, it is the perfect vintage look. The Elfie London Occasion Collection is effortlessly interchangeable so you can mix and match colours and styles and still stay within theme. Peter pan Necklines are making a come back !
Traditional brides will remember Kate Middleton Flower Girl styles, think Ivory silk dresses with tie bows and floral headpieces.. So charming..
The most important factor in choosing your little bridal party attire is comfort.. If they are comfortable and happy in their outfits it makes the day itself less stressful. You want them to get the most wear out of their outfits and not having to change straight after the ceremony. Avoid long Floor length dresses for little girls as it is asking for trouble and tears!
If you have small babies in your wedding party or are simply attending a wedding with a small baby consider outfits that are two piece to make for easy nappy changes.
I believe Less is more when dressing children for a special occasion. Think Understated elegance . Fresh Flowers such as baby's breath are a lovely touch both as a hair accessory and for holding.
Whatever your style or theme just enjoy the process and don't sweat the small stuff.. Our In Store help and advice is on hand to make your to do list a little easier..
