Why you should buy your baby personalised gifts * Gifts Online 4 U review *

Why you should buy your baby personalised gifts * Gifts Online 4 U review *

I love personalised gifts. I have probably said that about a thousand times before on this blog but it’s the truth. Personalised gifts are my absolute favourite because they show that someone has put a lot of thought into your gift instead of just plucking it off the shelf and every gift is unique. Alex is turning one next month (ahh!) and I am definitely going to be buying him some personalised gifts to celebrate this massive milestone. As an early birthday present, Alex has been sent a beautiful personalised money box from GiftsOnline4u , a fab website specialising in beautiful personalised gifts for the whole family.  If you are not sold on the whole personalised gifts thing, then here are 3 reasons why they are a great idea for a baby gift and read on to find out more about Gifts Online 4 U and the beautiful money box Alex received.   View Post

Unique gift ideas for new parents with Uncommongoods

Unique gift ideas for new parents with Uncommongoods

There is no greater gift in this life than that of a baby. Yes, I know it sounds cheesy and for the first few months all they really do is cry and poo but having a baby really is the best thing in the world. Do you know what also happens when you have a baby? People like to buy you stuff, it is obviously not the best thing about bringing a human into the world but it is a nice little perk all the same. Although it is pretty easy to accept gifts as a new parent, buying a friend or family member a present when they become parents can be tricky, especially if you are looking for something unique. If you just can’t bear to give a new mum in your life yet another bouquet of flowers or a new dad another novelty ‘Who’s the Daddy?’ T-shirt to add to his growing collection, then it is worth you stopping by Uncommongoods online. There is massive selection of unique gifts perfect for new parents on the Uncommongoods website. Whether you are looking for a gift with a personal touch, a boozy gift to help the new parents wet the babies head or a gadget gift for a tech loving parent to occupy themselves with while the baby naps, you are sure to find the perfect gift and not have to worry about someone else already buying them it. Here are my top gift ideas for new parents, hope you find it useful. View Post

What is a baby show and 3 reasons why you should go

What is a baby show and 3 reasons why you should go

When I was pregnant with Leo I had never even heard of a baby show, it was just one of many things that I was clueless about as a first time mummy to be. So, when we took Leo to our local show when he was just 5 weeks old I quickly learnt that a baby show is not actually babies performing together on stage, all singing and dancing, as the name may suggest.

10 newborn baby products I couldn’t live without

10 newborn baby products I couldn’t live without

Over the past 3 and a half months we have accumulated quite a lot of baby paraphernalia in our house. While there are a few items that have been left to gather dust in Alex’s nursery, there have been a few products that have been literal lifesavers since Alex was born. With baby stores bursting with products parents are coaxed into believing they MUST HAVE and are ESSENTIAL, it can be easy to overspend when shopping for your new arrival. However, there really are some baby products that have made life with a newborn so much easier and I simply could not live without them now. If you have a baby on the way then here is list of baby products I couldn’t be without and you might just find useful too.. View Post

Pregnancy essentials you actually need

Pregnancy essentials you actually need

Growing a baby is one hell of a journey for expectant mums. It is both an exciting and terrifying time in your life and first time parents can easily get caught up in the big pregnancy money making scheme created by retailers, ending up wasting loads of money on items they believe are ‘essential’ to a happy pregnancy. In reality, you can make it through your 9 months of pregnancy without having to splash too much cash at all – on yourself I mean, shopping for your new baby is a whole different story, prepare for your bank balance to take a bit of a bashing! I am nearing the end of my second pregnancy now and although there are loads of things aimed at pregnant mums in the shops that I would love to buy, I have learnt there really are only a few ‘must have’ items you need when growing a baby bump. So for any first time mums out there, here is a list of pregnancy essentials, all the items you actually need for each trimester, it is nowhere near as much as the high street would have you believe.

Online shopping, every parents hero?

Online shopping, every parents hero?

There are lots of things I enjoy much more now I’m a parent. Trips to the beach, walks in the countryside, film days cuddled up on the sofa are all just a few examples of activities that are more exciting when you have a little one in tow. An experience that hasn’t been enhanced in the slightest by having a child is a trip to the shops. Ever since becoming a mum I am much happier sitting at home doing some online shopping than I am when out dragging my reluctant toddler up and down the High Street. Let me tell you, there is nothing therapeutic about retail therapy when you have to take your child along with you, unless you count torture as a form of therapy – for the record, I don’t.

Here are some reasons why I can often be found doing online shopping rather than hitting the shops.. View Post
