    Oh I love the Boxwild bird feeder gift box. I didn’t even know you could get such a thing. I know just the person who will love this. And i think I might be trying out that fancy soap. #GiftGuideLinky

  7. Rachel says

    November 15, 2016 at 12:13 pm

    Some great Christmas gift ideas – I love the look of that soap!

    I think the cracker is a lovely idea, especially that you can put your own items inside, so you don’t end up with a pile of easy-to-brake trinkets. And it’s less wasteful compared to traditional crackers.
    I also think that the personal book is great. My boy is three and I think he is now of the age where he would appreciate how special it is to be a book character 🙂
    I into handmade soaps at the moment, and the one you have here looks luxurious!

  9. Leah Lander-Shafik says

  14. La French Connection says

    November 15, 2016 at 9:18 pm

    Oh, I find that the bird-watching box is a good idea to engage children with something else than their tablets. Really good idea 🙂

  15. Sarah Bailey says

    November 15, 2016 at 9:35 pm

    What some absolutely amazing ideas, I love the sound of the Biscuiteers tin – I think that is definitely going on my wishlist this year.

  18. Elizabeth says

  19. Baby Isabella says

    November 16, 2016 at 12:11 pm
