Belle Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 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!

gwod Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I think the antiques place just of Northcross Road usually has some vintage Bunnykins....at the very least they'll have some other cutesy vintage nursery china.

Smiler Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 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.

The Nappy Lady Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 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.Mollyx Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/8713-christening-present-shopping-in-east-dulwich-help/#findComment-265671 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dulwich Born And Bred Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 There's a two weeks wait to collect your items if you go to all fired up. Molly that is a wonderful idea, I shall get my son one for his 1st birthday!

lorraineliyanage Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 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 postAnother recommendation for the card shop (Greetings?) near Green and Blue, does lot of lovely baby bits and pieces Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/8713-christening-present-shopping-in-east-dulwich-help/#findComment-265855 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nappy Lady Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 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!!!!!

Belle Posted November 19, 2009 Author Share Posted November 19, 2009 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.

lorraineliyanage Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 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!

The Nappy Lady Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 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!

lorraineliyanage Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 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.
