Online retailer, CafePress, provides us with some great clothing that would make a fantastic gift for young children, teenagers and grown-ups. They have no less than 250 millions products on their site for purchase, with the designs created by the customers themselves. Or if you don’t want to use any of their designs, you can create and design one of your very own.
CafePress really do have something for everyone. From baby grows to sweatshirts and Hoodies, and personalised Ornaments to Custom Thongs! Express your feelings and thoughts into your design and your final product could be the next best seller on CafePress. Go for something cute for the kids, sporty for Dad or sexy for your other half, the selection available is so vast that whatever you are looking for you are most definitely going to get!
You could create or buy a design reflecting a particular time of year. Choosing something for the upcoming Halloween and Christmas celebrations (my favourite time of year). Or if you are going on a stag or hen night, personalise you very own merchandise with humorist slogans, adding some fun and laughs on this special night. Maybe you are a mad keen fan of a particular movie like Twilight? There is a large selection of products based on many movies like Twilight to choose from, and if you don’t like them, well, design your own!
I have received a selection of products from CafePress and am impressed with them all. From personalised tee shirts and bags, to badges and clocks, all can carry different slogans of you choice, making it very personal for the person you are buying it for. I must admit, my new favourite item to wear now is their Hoodie. It is incredibly comfortable and warm, and I am not surprised that the Hoodies are one of CafePress’s best sellers. I highly recommend it.
So go on and express yourself. Visit http://www.cafepress.com and enjoy looking for that wonderful, personal and passionate product, something your gift recipient will just love. Prices vary on the size and personalisation of each product; all prices are in my eyes very reasonable.
The creators of Hello Kitty is introducing their ‘second baby’; Angel Cat Sugar. This is set to become as huge of a hit as its sister brand, making the ultimate gift for young girls, teens, tweens and fasionistas.
Angel Cat Sugar is a fictional character; she is an incredibly cute and lovable princess cat, who will be adored by many young girls. What kids will love about her is the amazing healing powers she possesses and the ability she has to make everyone happy. With her gorgeous white fur and her angel wings which help spread happiness, Angel Cat Sugar will guarantee a smile to any girls face, no matter what age they are, and make the most wonderful teenage collectables for years to come.
The Angel Cat Sugar range includes many products. I have had a look at some of them and am impressed with what I have seen:-
The Angel Cat Sugar shopper bag is a trendy and smart practical bag. What I love about this is the simple factor of a magnet, which holds the top of the bag together – simple but very effective. Fearne Cotton, Claudia Schiffer and Tess Daly are all fans of the shopper bag, and I am sure there will be many more to follow. It is priced at an affordable £14.
The mini hairbrush is every girl’s ideal component for their dressing table. What girl doesn’t enjoy doing their hair and pampering themselves like mummy? Priced at a fantastic £9, it will definitely make a great stocking filler.
The Mini Wallet (£12) and purse-bag (£15) is great gift for a girl from ages 3-9. We all know how much kids just love to dress up, or from what I have experienced, playing ‘mummy’. Well, with their very own purse and bag, your child will be on her way to playing the perfect game with the perfect accessories. How grown-up!
Further products within the range, making great teenage collectables includes; bags, toys, many gifts, accessories, interactive games, home ware items, stationary and teenage collectables. Visit http://www.angelcatsugar.com and see the collection for yourself. Trust me, you will love it!
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.
With the school holidays here, we all want our kids to get outside and burn off that energy that they seem to have so much off. I have a 4 and 5 year old at home and know that they can get so bored at home. There is only so much a child can do in their garden! So when I got the 3-in-1 Rebounder Trainer Goal, they really couldn’t be happier.
This football goal is very popular, being a top seller year after year. BrightMinds, the stockists of the 3-in-1 Goal state:-
‘This 3-in-1 lightweight, but high impact UPVC football goal is ideal for individual practice or team games. The target practice coaches youngsters to take the most accurate penalties; top right, bottom left and straight at the goalie and the strong rebounder is ideal for kicking a ball against to develop kick strength.’
This is perfect for my boys as they are just really starting to get interested in football (with thanks to the so called World Cup!). The goal rebounder net is an excellent idea, you just kick the ball against the net and it comes right back to you! This is great if there is only one person playing ball. You don’t have to keep going to fetch it back; it does it for you, fantastic. Or, if you fancy a competitive game, take of the net and you have a proper goal. And furthermore, the target practice is just the thing to perfect those ever important penalty shoot outs! The goal is relatively easy to assemble, and doesn’t require any tools what-so-ever. It is also supplied with a football and pump, a good quality net and a storage bag.
I feel that this is a great product, and will guarantee, not hours, but years of fun for any family. I know that as my boys get older; this football goal will grow with them! The kids will enjoy it and the grown-ups will also love it. Trust me; it will be the buy of the year in your household!
Retails at £69.99 from http://www.brightminds.co.uk, go on, buy yours today!
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!
