Christmas is coming!!!

Christmas is coming and will be here before we know it!! All the high street stores are filling up with festive gifts and we have added a raft of new children’s gifts to make sure you can give your children a priceless lasting gift. Spreading a little Christmas spirit never did anyone any harm, so why not plan ahead a little and treat the children to some early Christmas gifts they will cherish for years to come?

One of our most popular items are luxury pedal cars. We’ve obtained a real selection of metal cars, firetrucks and airoplanes for girls and boys that come fully assembled. We have also added a range of quality wendy houses (as instructed by my daughter – Hannah Natalya) which meet her high standards.

Traditional toys are making a huge comeback becuase with the right care they can stand the test of time. The craftmanship that goes into our toys is excellent, and its refelected in the final product. Our wooden rocking horses are the ultimate in luxury baby gifts, and can be used and then kept as keepsake.

If you do buy too many toys this Christmas – a quality traditional wooden toy box is the perfect answer and much nicer on the eye than plastic storage.

So – what are you waiting for? Beat the rush by shopping early and go online to save some time.

Happy shopping!

Was David Cameron’s baby green gift a good choice??

Fittingly for the daughter of a family who gave their home an energy effiency overhaul and whose Dad promised the greenest government ever, one of baby Cameron’s first gifts is an ecologically minded one. Not just an organic cotton babygrow or a wooden toy made from sustainable timber but…………..this amazing gift came from Frank Field, the Labour MP who was appointed by David Cameron to lead an independent commission into poverty. Field bought a spot of Amazon rainforest through the charity Cool Earth, which enables individuals to buy up plots of rainforest to protect them. The TV gardener Joe Swift and designer Vivienne Westwood are among the charity’s fans, but not everyone is so keen and some have called it a form of neo-colonialism. very interestingly, deforestation in Brazil is also currently showing a dramatic decline.

But Matthew Owen, Cool Earth’s director, is understandably very pleased. “Frank Field organised an acre of rainforest to be sponsored in the name of David Cameron’s new baby as a gift to mark this wonderful occasion,” he said. “As the hospital where Samantha Cameron is recovering is on the doorstep of Cool Earth’s offices in Cornwall, I delivered the gift in person on behalf of Frank who sent his very best wishes.”

Buying presents for newborns is tricky at the best of times (have the parents already got 15 bibs and muslins? Will the parents get sniffy about plastic toys?), but I think Field has made a clever choice with his gift. As well a hopefully postive ecological impact, as a virtual gift it has impeccable green credentials.

What do you think – did Field get baby Cameron’s present right? And what other green baby gifts do you recommend from experience?
