I've left it ridiculously late to buy christening presents for my niece and nephew (christening is Sunday, eek!) - but have a vague idea it'd be nice to get Beatrix Potter/Bunnikins mugs, as we had them as kids and used them for years. Anyone know if they can be found in East D anywhere? Or any other ideas v welcome!

The card shop (V-something) near Green and Blue has various nice children's crockery, e.g. Elmer, ED has the very hungry caterpillar!


The Ceramics place near Goose Green takes a week or so to come back once you have done the painting, may take longer in the run-up to Christmas.

Belle - a nice idea is a picture of dawn on the day the children were born via www.myfirstday.co.uk - someone bought me one for my 2nd baby and I love it - they write the baby's name and date on the mount too - so for example "Molly's first day, 17th November 2009"....


You wouldn't have it in time for the event itself, but it would be sent to them, and you could give them a card to say that is what is coming.


I think it is so lovely as it is something I can enjoy now (it's up in the baby's room), but can pass on to her one day. The pictures are all taken on the beach, in Cornwall with sun rising, very beautiful - you can view them on line and pick the one you like the best from the relevant date.

Molly - I ordered one of the 1st day photos for my cousin's son's birth - they absolutely love it! Thanks for the recommendation, I saw it a while ago on another christening post


Another recommendation for the card shop (Greetings?) near Green and Blue, does lot of lovely baby bits and pieces

That's great Lorraine, I met them at the Baby Show last year and really liked them - husband and wife, small business - he gets up at dawn every day to take the photos (said since having kids of their own he was often awake anyway).


Just thought it was a very clever concept, and with a week old baby made me quite emotional seeing the images of dawn on her birth day....damn those hormones!!!!!

ooh that is a lovely idea, esp as I know my niece would have been born around dawn. Will look into it. Didn't manage to find the elusive beatrix potter mugs today but am in town on sat by some blue moon-fluke so will scope out there too.
Molly - I never checked out what Iris' birth day photo looks like, am off to investigate! Lou mentioned what to buy her for xmas this year. I said let's just re-wrap last year's xmas presents which he didn't like the idea of, so maybe we'll get her a photo as it has a bit more meaning than the fluffy toys we got her last christmas!

Good thinking, though I reckon maybe if you wrap up a box of toilet roll or a box of tissues she might have a LOT of fun...just think, tissues to pull out and rip up, paper to scrunch AND a huge box to climb in and out off...that's Christmas for most 12 to 18 month year olds sorted! LOL.


Molly

Ooh i've never given her a box to climb in and out of - that was one of my fave things to do as a nipper. i WOULD give her the box of tissues, but she would happily munch through most of it too. Bombi and C definitely have the tissue munching in common!


Bombi will also have loads of fun demolishing my mum's xmas tree.

    • Gosh, calm down.. How about not getting so heated, and not eat for 24 hours with sips of water? Try it and you may, just may understand, starvation, no water. No meds at all even if you need them - hasten to add, don’t do it at all if you are medically dependent. In fact, why doesn’t ED - do this for half a day - say in Oct, when everyone has come back from enjoying their, hols, new term starting and as a community, we could all be 1.? Before, November, fireworks, etc.                    
    • Many thanks I have sent them a message  
    • Stop foreign aid spend and re-direct those funds to improve the lives of UK citizens.  People shouldn't have to rely on charities and food banks, their is enough food wasted in this country already which could be re-directed.  Let their own Govts feed them, why does the UK have to do it, how about other nations contributing.  Well if aid can't reach them, how are they supposed to be fed if as you say food parcels being dropped from planes doesn't work.  Lets sort out this country first and put UK citizens first for a change.   
    • Well that really is not Christian Spirit at all - we all live in this world and yes, totally agree that it would be wonderful to have no conflict in the world but that is not possible. Yes we have people in need of food  in this country but overall enough charities and organisation in the west to help. We are talking about thousands of people who are starving - not just going hungry - a huge difference would you not agree ? Aid can’t reach people - for whatever conflict and don’t think people dropping parcels, boxes etc from planes would be the answer either.
