I love shopping for the kids Christmas presents and it is super simple when they know just what they want.
Sadly that is not always the case, so here is a little inspiration if you still need it.
For doll loving girls, Barbie has collaborated with Mango to launch an elegant collection of chic, pop-art inspired tops and which are now available in all Mango Kids stores across Europe. The T-Shirts start from age 3 up to 8 years old with an RRP of £12.99.
Following on from the t-shirt idea, Tiger Prints has recently started designing and printing children’s t-shirts and they have some awesome and unusual designs for children. Isaac loves Wolves and I have got him the howling wolf t-shirt for Christmas and Eliza has Ruby Red Slippers as she loves a bit of sparkle in her life!
Sebastian has recently started pre-school and needs a new bag to take a change of clothes and store any toys he has smuggled in with him. I love the quirky range of rucksacks by Pink Lining which come in small sizes for toddlers and bigger sizes for school age children. We have chosen Arnold the Alien for our little man and they do lots of other gifts for kids including lunchboxes, stockings and of course things for Mum too.
Kids love nothing more than a good story and Mog the cat has been loved by children and their parents since the first books in the 1970s, but the series by author and illustrator Judith Kerr came to an end in 2002 when the famous cat died in Goodbye Mog.
I am notorious for getting the kids things they need as well as presents they want and all of them seem to need new shoes all at the same time, so I sneakily had their feet remeasured a couple of weeks ago and they will have some lovely new shoes wrapped up under the Christmas Tree, including an impossibly high pair of ladies shoes for Abbey to wear on New Years eve – how she walks in them I will never know!!
This is so fun! The end result is really pretty and natural. I love it!
