you search everywhere for the perfect gift
only to find that everyone else has had the same brilliant idea as you. No child needs seven silver bangles for their Christening. This page covers gifts, jewellery and keepsakes, but hopefully offers some unique ideas, across a range of prices, for original thinkers.
Gifts
Top of the list is ChildrenSalon with the Dior Gift baby bottles and dummies. In a choice of blue, pink or silver they are an unusual gift and a keepsake in one, and at £16.95 upwards, they won’t break the bank. And who could resist the ultimate baby designer accessory?
It’s your story create personalised stories in a range of styles, from fairy stories to Love is… cartoons. A unique gift for a unique individual.
For a modern twist on a traditional Christening gift, check out fabstuff, who have a range of silver plated pewter bubble blowers in varying intricate and pretty designs. They also do a fantastic silver yummymummy necklace. As if you need reminding!
Edible gifts are always popular, and lovehearts have just brought out a new range of new baby gifts. With 50 mini-rolls of Baby Boy or Baby Girl sweets, these would be a delicious present for new parents- and would help keep their blood sugar up too!
For a great chocolate gift, take a look at doughdough’s mother and baby tin. Including chocolate for mum and sweets for baby (which can legitimately also be eaten by mum), this is a great idea for a true chocaholic new mum. Add the 40% discount code here, and it’s also a great bargain!
Or why not take a look at The Great Little Trading company- from furry things to furniture, you’re bound to find something to fit the bill.
Keepsakes
For an extensive range of keepsakes, check out The Keepsake Company. The personalised jewellery, with your child’s/children’s fingerprints on are fantastic, and would make a fantastic gift, for mother’s or father’s day perhaps?…
Or why not get a personalised newspaper? With a number of categories, including new baby, inthepaper can create your personalised newspaper front page in 60 seconds, apparently. You can add photos and change names, dates and text. And it’s probably a better read than what actually happened in the papers…
For a huge range of unusual and personalised gifts, check out the Bespoke Gift Company. They even do gifts for your pet!
Surely the most innovative, and decorative, way to have your scan picture as a memento, Fizzy Melon will paint it onto canvas so you can hang it in your lounge and remember those halcyon days before the small person came out and started making a lot of noise… And with 50% off, it’s got to be worth a look.
Jewellery
The most fantastic original jewellery site I think I have ever seen is AM Jewellery. Basically, Avril takes pictures drawn by your children and turns them into handmade silver jewellery. The range includes pendants, cufflinks and charm bracelets, and are individual and amazing!
For a natural way of easing teething, or even adult, pain, why not try the amber necklaces at ambersoothe. As well as their healing properties, they also look great.
Makoosh is a fabulously funky online jewellery store. Stocking names such as Anna Lou and Pistachio, this site is great to browse around, especially if you’re looking for that certain something to set off your outfit. There’s a great range of bangles in particular, and there’s free delivery on orders over £40…
Treat her also have an impressive range of silver jewellery. The flying kisses earrings are a lovely thought, the little x’s brushing kisses against your neck, and the Mayan Music heart aims to relax and calm the wearer. Pretty essential for new mothers I would have thought..
Just worth mentioning again is the yummymummy necklace at Fabstuff.com
