An Ideal Night-time, courtesy of the Little Present Company






After bathing your little bundles of loveliness in a lavender-based bath essence (after the previous night's disaster and middle of the night whingeing from junior), you take the small children to the cupboard to choose nightwear.

The baby sleeps like a king in his Crown Baby Vest (£10.95). His bedtime story is The Prince's Bedtime (£7.95) but he is asleep before they get to page 5. He falls asleep with his favourite wooden Tractor and Trailer in his arms (£5.95).

Big brother prefers his Vintage Cars pyjamas (£19.95) because they are the button-down front like daddy's and they have a car on them like they have on Top Gear. He gets to stay up a little late so fills in the blanks in his Johnny Joe's Time Travel Colouring Book (£4.50)

Big sister has a pair of pink pyjamas with a Rocking Horse design, but tonight opts for the Floral Cotton Nightdress (£18.95) because it is soft and lightweight. Her bed is pretty with its personalised cushion (from £33), bedspread and teddy bears. It's almost too pretty to sleep in but she has been playing all day in her Wendy House and is thoroughly exhausted from all the fresh air.


And then the phone rings and everyone wakes up. POP!

Summer Loving (or Loving Summer)





Whether the weather be good, or whether the weather be bad, we have all sorts of Summer Fun things happening here at The Little Present Company.



With sand in our shoes and windburn on our cheeks from the British seaside, it is with a whole heap of enthusiasm that we introduce our new Children's Deckchairs to you (available in 3 designs) for £28 each - and our additional long towelling Hooded Beachwear (£24.99 in all kids sizes).


Take one of our Wooden Cricket sets to the beach (£14.95), pitch a tent or a windbreak, and settle in for the day. The children can run around in the Swimtrunks or Swimsuits we can offer (by far the funkiest gear on the coastline this summer) and after a bracing surf in the waves, they can snuggle into their warm hooded Towelling tops.


The only thing we cannot help you with is the weather or the sand in the sandwiches.

Have fun!


With love

Emily and Emma
