Choosing presents for children has become increasingly difficult and yet there are more toys than ever available and we are spoilt for choice. This however, only excacerbates the problem and the big question (when buying for other children) is whether they already own one. There is also the dilemma of price justification for what seems to be resemble a mere piece of plastic that will inevitably land up in the bin at some point or recycling.  Alas, fret no more, our team of young mums have expertly put together a great selection of personalised gifts for children and teenagers that represent quality and something unique and special that will outlast any plastic toy of the moment.

A Personalised Animal Name Breakfast Gift Set is a makes a fabulous and fun personalised gift, ideal as a christening present or birthday gift for a little girl and may even make meal times more fun if she’s a little fussy when it comes to food.  Also on the animal front, a Personalised Giraffe Pyjama Case doubles up as a cute , cuddly toy sitting up with the recipient’s name on his chest and with his own birth certificate for your child to fill out as their owner, and keeps P.J’s tidied away as a novel personalised gift  suitable for a boy or girl that will  be loved for years to come.

A timeless classic yet essential piece of childhood is a money box and we have several that would make a lovely personalised gift for a daughter, niece, or grandaughter’s birthday or christening occasion.  For a younger child a Personalised Pink Ceramic Piggy Bank is a safe option with their name painted on or the Personalised Pink Polka Dot Piggy Bank  who claims ‘My First Piggy Bank’ . A Bang On The Door Groovy Chic Money box makes a fine bone china personalised gift for a young lady to stash her savings and can be personalised with a name and message.

For active and busy little bodies, a great gift idea for a child’s birthday present is one of our Sow and Grow   kits. For those not be so fond of vegetables, a novel way of encouragement is for kids to be involved in cultivating and growing their own. Sow and Grow Pizza Chef is a fine present for kids to grow their own pizza ingredients and ultimately eat them! Likewise the Sow and Grow Veg Patch makes a wonderful gift and contains everything to help them tuck into their veg with new eagerness whilst learning about nature and being active in the fresh air. The Sow and Grow Sunflower Competition is a fun way to see who can grow the tallest sunflower and maybe eat the seeds afterwards! The Sow and Grow Gnome Garden and Monster Plants make highly unusual and novel presents and make an interesting change from the usual predictable boys birthday present ideas. Curiosity killed the cat, or even bugs…with the Sow and Grow Bug Eating Monster Plant kit, what little boy wouldn’t be intrigued in nurtuting his very own carnivorous plant?  For a more floral and delicate outcome,  Sow and Grow Butterfly Garden kit contains everything for little hands to create their own sweet smelling butterfly garden, a wonderful gift for a child.
