CHRISTMAS: The Ultimate Gift Guide for Children 2020

*Advertorial Content - Gifted Items 

The gift options for children are vast and can be overwhelming at times. The television adverts, posters, endless toys in shops etc. all inspire the present possibilities for children. However, actually deciding which ones are worth the money and will be played with for longer than a couple of minutes can be the tricky part as a parent. In this gift guide I have put together a wide range of presents that would suit an array of ages, interests and price points. I do also have a £10 and under stocking fillers gift guide, if you're looking for slightly smaller gifts too. The excitement children have for Christmas is part of the reason it is such a magical time of year, so I always find it really special putting together my children's presents each year. Imaging their excited little faces as they open them is just the best feeling, isn't it?

If you're listening Father Christmas, this is the Gift Guide for you! It is filled with stocking filler ideas that will keep children entertained, excited and learning new skills over the festive season. From edible treats and stationary heaven to learning new magic tricks and imaginative play, there are affordable ideas for all interests. These presents would also be perfect for children to give their friends and I've tried to include gifts suitable for a range of ages too. 

PARENTHOOD: Preparing for Isabella and Poppy's Joint Birthday Party

The words 'birthday party' will either send parents into a state of panic or a state of planning, preparing and relishing in the organisational side of throwing a party. I have to admit I am the latter of those two, however on the run up to Isabella and Poppy's birthday party this year I have been struggling with morning sickness as I'm pregnant with our third baby. It meant that I needed to keep things simple and as easy as possible because with a bedtime of 7.30pm there wasn't much time away from the girls. Thankfully, PoundToy has a wide array of birthday presents, party bag fillers and decorations that are all very affordable and their website is incredibly easy to navigate.
