My 1st Years Pre Christmas Gifts and Giveaway

Saturday, 28 November 2015 in , - 90 comments

We're going to be putting up our Christmas decorations soon - I'm really in the festive spirit. I think mostly because Ethans at the age where he's really starting to understand the concept of Christmas, or at least that Christmas is a thing, unlike previous years. This year I've excitingly partnered up with the lovely brand that is My1stYears - a favourite brand of mine who sell a range of gorgeous baby and child products focusing on personalised items. If you haven't heard of them before, they're worth a visit.


Wanting to showcase some of the items they have for sale this Christmas, I picked out a few items to feature that I thought were great for right now - pre-Christmas. Things to get the kids that much more excited during the big build-up. I absolutely love this Santa Cookie Plate! A gorgeous design I'm sure you'll agree! It's something that can be kept and brought out year after year! 




Following on from the cookie plate and keeping with the pre-Christmas build-up theme, I chose to feature this Your Letter To Santa Book - a magical little book for any child this Christmas and one my little Ethan absolutely cannot get enough of! It follows the journey of the child's letter being sent off to Santa and then we get to hear and see how the presents are delivered by Santa himself from the North Pole. Like I said, it's a magical book, made even more magical by the clever personalisation (example below) throughout the book. 


The last item I chose to feature is their gorgeous personalised red felt gift sack or stocking. I love a personalised stocking as it means it can be used year after year and with their name on it sort of feels that much more magical. I prefer big stockings like these as kids toys generally tend to come in big boxes and so this leaves plenty of space. 

Giveaway


I hope you've liked everything you've seen here and that they've given you some pre-Christmas gift ideas. If you'd like to do a little shopping at My1stYears yourself, then you may be interested to hear that I'm giving away £50 to spend with them! All you need to do is enter via the rafflecopter form below. This giveaway is open to UK residents only and you must read my giveaway disclaimer first before entering. The lucky winner will be announced via my blogs twitter page shortly after the closing date. Best of luck!
