Gift Guide: Kids

Gift Written By Tracy Brown from White Lily Green

We all know how difficult it can be to buy gifts for children. Especially when you are looking for something a bit different. The Designers exhibiting in the We Make London Summer Fair may have just what you've been looking for. Here we have a selection of my favourite gifts and party wear for your little ones.

Cara's Creations
Personalised paintings



I just love Cara's Personalised Paintings. What little girl or boy wouldn't love to see all their favourite things in a painting on their wall? Just send her a list of the recipient’s favourite things and Cara will make it all happen. I love the magical, fairytale feel of her work. Such a refreshing change from the mass produced keepsakes you find in the high street.

Chickp
Super Stickers



My children love these super stickers. Bright and bold, and like nothing you've seen before. We have some of the ones they can colour in themselves too, which is such a clever idea (See ChickP's Website) not only are they gorgeous, and fun, but ChickP's products are environmental friendly. Where possible, the materials are sourced from small, local or family run businesses. The paints used are non- toxic, and the packaging is recycled, recyclable and the bags they arrive in are 100% biodegradable.

Isabee
Pirate costume




Starry Girl costume

Dressing up is an activity that all children enjoy and it’s vital in their development, as it encourages imagination, role play and experimentation. So really, a dressing up outfit is an educational gift!
I adore the Pirate Costume, which is suitable for both boys and girls, and the Starry Girl Costume, which is every little girls dream. It’s beautiful. Isabees costumes are so much nicer than anything I've seen in the shops and very original. Each part of the outfit is available separately, so you can buy as much or as little as you want, or even mix and match!

Little Chook
T-shirts – singing Bluebirds




If you are looking for a cute gift in the clothing department, then look no further than Little Chook. Her T-shirt's are just adorable and completely unique to anything you'll find on the high street. I particularly heart her Singing bluebirds T-shirt. So cute!


Love You longtime Baby
Black & white party dress



Well a Birthday girl needs a party dress, and this is a favourite of mine. The monochrome floral look is very in at the moment and the beautifully vivid pink bow sets it off to perfection. All dresses are individually handmade so at £45 this is a fantastic buy.

Babies

Whenever I'm buying a gift for a new baby, I always like to make sure my gift is original so the new parents don't end up with a dozen of the same thing. Milk Two Bunnies gift sets are a perfect solution. I think this 2 Bunnies Gift set is just gorgeous for any newborn little girl. They come in a beautifully packaged box too!

They are made using 100% organic cotton yarn, which is lovely and soft for a delicate baby’s skin. This gorgeous set for little boys features a cute little car – So adorable! Again, your gift wrapping worries are solved as Nyoki present their gist sets in beautiful recycled gift boxes with tissue paper and matching ribbon. Perfect at £56.99.

Toby Boo
Soldier Doll




No Nursery should be without some childhood nostalgia and Tobyboo's fantastic one off pieces would make a great addition to any childs room. I particularly love this soldier doll. We all remember the vintage toy soldiers from back in the day and this little guy brings back those enchanting memories and with it, introduces that same magic for our own children.
It’s not suitable to play with due to small parts, but it is a fantastic decoration to add those personal finishing touches. He would look fabulous on a mantel or sitting in an easy chair.
Soldier doll is £40.
