Now these I just Love!

These Converse Shark Design Pre walker Crib Shoe could possibly be the most adorable and cutest tiny baby Converse Shoe that I have ever seen. They are just perfect for little feet, and will make you want to go out and buy a pair of converse for yourself!
Featuring an all over Shark design, it definitely adds the fun factor into helping your little one take their first steps. The fastening on the shoe itself is with Velcro, which in my eyes makes it extra easy to slip the shoe on and off tiny, wriggling feet. Made from canvas, with a leather toe cap, quality is written all over these converse.
I know that these will make a fantastically fabulous gift and that the parents would probably love them more than the child will. Who wouldn’t want them?
Retails at £24.99, and is available from http://www.mummysonlinebabyshop.com.
Now, this is the kind of thing that I just love! Anything that is handmade gift really does it for me. You just know that a lot of care and attention has been put into your chosen gift. So, if you want to look for a special personalised gift guaranteed to make a wonderful keepsake, Samigail’s Gifts is the one to look at!
The difference with these is that the gifts, keepsakes and plaques are personalised using the unusual art of pyrography – wood burning. And what’s more is that the business owner Fiona Morris does it all herself.
Gifts for many occasions are available, from the ever popular 1st day of school plaque, to fairy wands and weddings. Fiona prides herself in the fact that her gifts have been chosen for particular important occasions, and feels honoured that this is the case.
I luckily got to check out two products she has available. The first is the wooden rectangular Fathers Plaque. This can be for father’s day, a birthday or just for the simple fact of being a special Daddy! This really is a sweet idea. You can choose what you want to write on the plaque itself, with whatever personal message you want. It is priced at an amazing £5.00, bargain!

Another that I got to check out was the Rag Doll ‘Sunny’. She stands at a perfect 35cm tall, looks adorable and makes a great soft toy for your child. She is colourful and bright, truly living up to her name. Around her neck is a wooden tag onto which you can have your personal message written, also by pyrography. Either have just the name of the child on it, or have a special message written. It is your choice entirely. Sunny will make a fantasic handmade gift. She is priced at a small £12.50, and trust me, for what you get that is an amazing price!

For those who have been to a Build-a-Bear workshop, you will agree with me that it is the most enjoyable, exciting thing you can do with your child. For those who have not been there, I have to ask you ‘Why Not?’ I completely urge you to visit a store and explore it for yourselves.

As a family, my Fiancé, two boys and myself went to the Build-A-Bear Workshop. We were greeted at the door by an enthusiastic assistant and manager Glen, whom then introduced us to Roisin and Alana, who really got us all excited about the experience ahead of us. If all the staff at Build-A-Bear Workshops are like these assistants, then you will definitely get in the spirit within seconds!
What soon became apparent was a genuine care for the child in question. This is totally for the children, with the emphasis being on giving the little ones experiences (and bears!) that they will not forget. All the staff were extra friendly and completely in tune with the kids. It was refreshing to see this kind of attitude as opposed to everything being about profit.
