CHRISTMAS GIFT GUIDE: For Toddlers 2018

*Advertorial Content

When babies transform into toddlers it is a magical time in the world of parenting, as they learn at a rate that is pretty incredible. Walking, talking and becoming more independent changes their world and yours, making present buying that bit more exciting! When it comes to buying for toddlers there are so many routes to go down; you can go for toys, practical, clothing or creative to name a few. This Gift Guide is aimed at both first children, but also for the parents that have more than one child and are struggling to think of what to get their second/third/fourth toddler. When you have a house filled with toys from your first child it can be hard to think of what to get subsequent children, but hopefully you'll be inspired by this Gift Guide.

CHRISTMAS GIFT GUIDE: For Babies 2018

*Advertorial Content

Welcome to my first Christmas Gift Guide of 2018, which is for the babies in your life. Personally, I've always found shopping for baby gifts quite a challenge because the things they need at that age are limited some what. I therefore tend to focus on giving gifts that will either help to capture those precious early years, are practical or can be enjoyed for many years to come. The first year or so of a child's life is filled with magical milestones, exciting changes and all the growing, making it such a special time to shop for gifts. All of the gifts I've included in this Gift Guide would also make thoughtful presents for baby showers, first birthdays or christenings too.

BABY: The cutest aden and anais products from Hamill Baby, plus a discount code!

It probably won't come as any surprise that since finding out I was pregnant I have loved finding (and buying) cute baby products, I mean who doesn't?! Our spare room is getting fuller and fuller, we really need to start getting the baby room decorated but if you've been following our house renovation then you'll know we're miles off that stage quite yet. The internet is a fantastic place to find the cutest of baby products, especially as we have limited time to search the high street (thanks to most weekend spent decorating).

Recently I came across Hamill Baby, actually through a search for aden & anais musys (muslin squares) and swaddle blankets. If you haven't heard of aden & anais then you really are missing out, I've become absolutely obsessed! Almost every pregnant woman I've met has become obsessed with buying a certain item ready for their baby, such as bibs, baby grows, cuddly toys etc. The thing I've been buying loads of are muslin squares, random I know. After all they are generally used to wipe up sick and protect surfaces, not particularly glamorous. But I absolutely love all of the patterned designs you can get now, I just think they are so cute. We have so many different prints and styles now, our collection excites me massively and I can't wait for our little girl to arrive (and probably stain them all within seconds!) so we can use them.

Aden & anais have designed some of my absolute favourite range of baby products, all available on the Hamill Baby website. In fact Hamill Baby spotted the range 7 years ago and they were the first UK company to sell aden & anais! The designs are available on a range of products, including: swaddle blankets, bibs, muslin squares, blankets, towels, washcloths, sleeping bags, changing mat covers and cot sheets. Not only do you get such a fantastic range of aden & anais products from Hamill Baby, you get the added bonus of a 10% discount off - use the code HB10 at the checkout!
