Little people rock! They're so full of energy and vibrancy that keeping up with tiny tots can be as exhausting as it is fun. Of course there's a long while of crying at night, eating (or refusing to eat!) during the day and causing trouble to go before they're old enough to technically run around the house!So basically, there's plenty of drama before babies reach the stage where they're trying to knock you over. While they're still small and...more

Buying gifts for a special birthday is a challenge at the best of times. Whether it's your darling younger brother's 18th, your niece's 21st, or Dad's 50th, it really is tough finding a gift that ticks all the necessary boxes. But that's beside the point...) require a little more effort and something a little more extra special than your average birthday present. True, we've all been guilty of (somewhat knowingly) giving a dodgy present in our time. You know what it's like you're really busy at work, the kitchen's being redecorated (and encountering a variety of plumbing-related disasters on the way), the car keeps making a really disconcerting noise whenever you put it in 3rd gear and Sammy's school play is in three days and you still haven't even started that spectacular costume you promised to create (from scratch no less) with your own fair hands. Before you know it, you've got a to-do list as long as the M4, you haven't looked at the calendar in days and then all of a sudden your nephew's/cousin's/auntie's birthday is just around the corner and you haven't even managed to buy a measly card, let alone a gift that will incite cries of 'I love it!' and 'it's perfect!'

Christenings can be a very important time for new families! A christening is a happy day, all about blessing the new baby's life with joy, comfort and hope for the future. Although traditionally christening gifts aren't actually expected from anyone but close family members and the godparents, some people feel that they'd like to give the child something, special too. If you're pondering what to get the baby whose christening you'll attend soon, then this is the article for you!We're going to suggest a few key christening gifts and tell you a little more about the tradition of 'christening.' Often the parents of the baby who is being christened choose to buy a gift for the godparents in order to say thank you for agreeing to take the title and commit to caring for the baby. By ensuring that the child has godparents the birth parents know that if anything ever happens to them that their baby will be well looked after, however god parents also act as spiritual mentors and helpful figures to kids too.
