Happy St Patrick's Day!

Happy St Patrick's Day everyone! We hope all you lucky ducks with the day off enjoy yourselves. Great to see the sun shining! As well as being a public holiday in Ireland, Northern Ireland, Newfoundland and Labrador & in Montserrat, St Patricks Day is also celebrated around the world. Countries with Irish immigrants and their descendants tend to celebrate the occasion too. This includes countries such as Great Britain, Canada, the United States, Argentina, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea & Japan. There are many parades, parties & services around the world to celebrate Saint Patrick (c. AD 387–461), the most commonly recognised of the Patron Saints of Ireland. We love the idea of people dressed in green, eating, drinking and being merry! Apparently the original colour associated with Saint Patrick was blue! Over the years the colour green gradually grew in assocation and green ribbons and shamrocks were worn in celebration of St Patrick's Day as early as the 17th

Gift Baskets For Kids

As well as new baby gift baskets we have always carried a range of gift baskets for children. Last month we had fun designing a whole new range of kids gifts . There are many more to choose from now, for many more ages ranges. Gifts For Toddlers (1-3 years) Toddlers gift baskets are those in the 1-3 years age range. Kids obviously want a present to be fun, but we also include educational, sensory items for them to enjoy. Toddlers gifts tend to include a soft toy such as a teddy bear, chunky 2-3 piece jigsaws, colouring sets, colouring books, colourful flashcards or build & play toys. Chocolate buttons or milky bars add a little sweet treat and a choice of helium character balloons complete the gift. The products included are all leading brands like Peppa Pig, Meccano Kids, Winnie The Pooh & Buttons produced by companies such as Ravensburger, Orchard Toys, Russ Berrie & Cadburys. Gifts For Pre-Schoolers (3-5 years) Gifts for Pre-Schoolers are for those in the 3-5 years age
