It’s the third of the 2021 gift guides… Is there any point in buying fabulous pressies if you don’t have something gorgeous to put them in? I’ve been trawling the web to find the most beautiful stockings and sacks available.  As always, my advice is to buy well and buy once – Kitty and Alfie’s […]

The Christmas Eve box (containing pyjamas and a book – and, for the past few years, a soft toy and a hot chocolate spoon!) is one of my favourite festive traditions. I spend a lot of time researching the coolest PJs to make those Christmas morning photos pop (although A and K have a preference […]

Well, who’d have thought that 2021 would be as tumultuous as 2020! Once again, it seems that everyone is embracing the Christmas spirit a little earlier than usual, so we thought we’d get a head start on our gift guides, kicking off, as always, with advent calendars. Regular readers are probably aware of our preference […]

It’s time for our bumper book gift guide. There’s something for everyone, from awesome ABCs to amazing atlases, via inspiring individuals and tales with a twist. There are lots of offers on books in the big stores, but do try to buy at least one book from your local or an independent online book shop […]

Do you remember baby Alfie and baby Lola? Well, those two BG babies are now in the 11+ age group! I know, we can’t believe it either. This is the last of our age-related guides and in a way, the trickiest. These years can be awkward as the kids’ tastes can often be quite niche. […]

Today our focus moves to older children, those aged five to seven. BG’s Finn falls into this category and, as well as being a massive bookworm, loves nothing more than drawing and creating. This age is perfect for kick-starting a love of arts and crafts, as well as the great outdoors (think nature observation, shelter […]

Monday’s Gift Guide and Giveaway was dedicated to the babies, today it’s all about the preschoolers. That’s those aged from two to four when, let’s face it, every day is different – and busy. Role-play toys, ride-ons, items for the dressing-up box, wooden blocks to encourage construction skills, simple games and puzzles are all brilliant […]

Our sixth gift guide just happens to fall on World Kindness Day, so we thought we’d mix things up a bit and showcase gifts that either give back to charity or highlight the need for kindness always. If you’re looking for ideas to reinforce kindness with the children, then check out Random Acts of Kindness […]

Gift guide number four incoming… There’s no point in buying cool pressies if you haven’t got something gorgeous to put them in. Here’s our pick of the best stockings and sacks of 2020. Buy well and buy once – Kitty and Alfie’s Christmas sacks are nearly ten years old! Check out our other BG Christmas Gift […]

Here we go with the last of our guides for children: 50 stocking fillers for under £1. Yes, you heard right. Once again, we’ve largely tried to steer clear of plastic and include at least 2+ things from each store to make the shipping worthwhile, although many offer free shipping. Make sure you also check […]
