Bring on the Bookends

Bring on the Bookends

Look at our fun range of Bookends in stock! We have Soldiers, Ponies, Jolly Roger Pirates (£19.95) and Pirate Wood Ships (£28). They make a thoughtful present for a child who has a collection of books on display, and adds an element of fun to shelves.

Bookends don't necessarily have to display a collection of books, but are also useful to hold a dvd collection or little boxes of ds games.  These are fun, colourful and useful - so therefore a great gift that the kids AND the mums will love.

Find them at our http://www.littlepresentcompany.co.uk/birth-gifts.asp  and have one of these cheeky little mites to stay.

All Aboard the Good Ship Little Present Company

The Jolly Roger is a flag flown to identify a ship's crew as Pirates. In the 17th and 18th centuries, the flag was flown to frighten pirates' victims into surrendering without a fight, since it conveyed the message that the attackers were outlaws who were not bound by the usual rules of engagement.

We celebrate the Jolly Roger motif, and whilst it has its roots in the blood-thirsty, we celebrate it's cheeky nature with a whole host of children's accessories. Each of the Skulls is smiling (gappy, toothless smiles, granted) but they mean no harm. They are as keen as mustard to become part of your little boy's bedroom and playroom: the Bookends are a particularly useful item at only £28, as with the 3-rung pegs £15, and the Pirate Wooden Door Sign (£12) is sure to deter little sisters from entering without permission from the Pirate Captain himself.

So sail along to our Good Ship 'Little Present Company' and feast your eyes on our treasure chests full of cushions, mirror (£53) canvases (£33 and £40) and handmade beaded Keepsake Boxes. Oo-ar it's a bucket load of joy.

With love

Cushion Crazy

We should change our name to Little Cushion Company, frankly. I cannot believe how clever our seamstress ladies are - so in awe are we, infact, that we have listed pretty much every cushion in their repartee.

You name it, we have it.

Bunnies? check. Ducks? check. Fire Engine. Yup. Red Bus? that too. Pigs? check. Trains? yes, two designs, ditto the Tractors. Pirate? yes-siree. Oriental Doll? let me just check.. yes, we have that too. You see? We are SERIOUS about cushions.

We can personalise your cushions or even have a design created for you. *happy sigh* anything is possible in the giddy world of Cushions. They make the perfect present for a newborn's bedroom, a birthday present and a Christening gift. A personalised cushion is the gift that keeps on giving, and from only £22 for an award-winning Jessica Graham number, you can't shake a stick at that.

That's enough from me. Am off for a little lie down. Am seeing cushions floating before my caffeine addled eyes. See you later when I will be focusing on.... drum roll.... wooden peg racks. Hoorah!

Butterflies and Zebras... oo yeah

Emma Hendrix is as soulful as Jimi Hendrix, but has no musical ability (bar karaoke after a few Bacardis). Instead, she focuses her energies on being a mum and working all hours. Inspired by her surname, I recalled my favourite Hendrix song and realised that quite a few of the lyrics have some (loose) connection with our product range.

There we are... It's a random link, but a link never-the-less.

Well she's walking through the clouds

With a circus mind that's running round

Butterflies and zebras

And moonbeams and fairy tales

That's all she ever thinks about

Riding with the wind.

When I'm sad, she comes to me

With a thousand smiles, she gives to me free

It's alright she says it's alright

Take anything you want from me, anything.

Fly on little wing, Yeah yeah, yeah, little wing

We have Butterflies a-plenty (see our Butterfly Canvas for £40), Zebras (£34) and a Moonbeam or two here at the Little Present Company. Indulge your psychedelic inner being with a visit to our far-out online store. You will be greeted with a metaphorical hug, yeah yeah, yeah yeah.

With love (and peace)

Pancake Heaven

Flippin' Fantastic Fun Day... we are mixing the batter and buttering the pans ready for a pancake flip and race. My kitchen ceiling still bears the grease stains of last year's mishap. I was too enthusiastic and ended up being disqualified.

If the kitchen at Little Present Company headquarters were a bakery, the hottest buns of the moment are without a doubt our hand-whittled Windsor Children's Chairs. They are made to order, and as fresh and as original as a baked bunnage. Get them whilst they are hot for only £75.

Being Lent we are now on a nil-junk-by-mouth policy. It is very hard (nay, impossible) to imagine how we are going to cope without the cheeky choccie snacks and sweeties which regularly find their way into our working day. Forgive my talking about sweet treats, but the only thing we are allowed in our life for the next 40 days and 40 nights are *drum roll* the Cupcake Applique Blankets, Babygrows and Cupcake Mounted Name Frame (£30), Gingerbread Blackboard (£12.99), Icecream Clock (£34) nor the Sweet Treats Arch Mirror (£53). We are allowed the Strawberry Clock (£34) though, so it's all good. Fresh and sweet, just like us.

So it's onwards and upwards for us. Happy Pancake Day everyone, and call us if you need any calorie-free sweet treats in the post. Go on, order them.... please take them off our hands!
