Christening Presents at LPC

http://www.littlepresentcompany.co.uk/ is the one-stop shop for all classically beautiful and life-long gifts for Christenings. A vast selection of presents range from 18th century inspired furniture, to hand-made Name and Date Frames, to silverware (Hallmarked and silver plated options).

The busy website has sold Dick Willis’s Windsor-style children’s chairs, settles and stools for the past five years. He is able to engrave names and dates along the comb back, if required. Each piece is made to order.

The Little Present Company’s range of silver is constantly changing. They have condiment sets, child’s mugs, spoons, coasters, dishes and salvers. For more information, contact the girls at the address below. Visit the website, join the Facebook page or follow the blog on http://www.http/littlepresentcompany.blogspot.com/

There are a handful of extremely talented artists who are capable of either embroidering, printing, crocheting or threading names and dates onto canvases or cushions. Infact, anything is possible, so call to enquire.

To celebrate the Christening season, the Little Present Company is offering a 10% discount on any items within the Christening section of the website. Offer code NU10 at checkout.

LPC and Mitty James

Summer wardrobes are a tricky thing. It's often too chilly for strappy dresses, and too windy for floaty skirts. However, this summer is nothing but 'scorchio'. Hence our devotion to Mitty James's new season of children's beachwear. Our little sunshine Godlets are running around in new swimsuits, swim-shorts and, for when the British Breeze picks up, their funky stripey towelling hoodies. Thank you Mitty James!



It's enough to inspire a bucket and spade break away. Why not take a cricket set to the beach this summer for some Elie-style sporting action?

We are planning a Camping Weekend. In my mind's eye, I can see bunting, co-ordinated camping equipment, fresh cut flowers adorning the Cath-Kidson tressel table.... but I know reality will be more about the sticky BBQ ribs and smokey bonfires. We have plenty of camping kit in stock and I am amazed by the quality of the sleeping bags (£45).

Summer Fairs are upon us as well, so we have been going through all of our stock. For some of the end of line items, we have slashed the prices. Keep an eye on the Sale link for some red hot summer bargains!

With love

New Products Alert!

We are very excited to introduce some new products to our bulging range of goodies.

Following the wonderful response we regularly receive about our personalised canvases, we have been approached by an artist who makes Button Name Frames in two sizes: up to 5 letters, and 6-9 letters. From £32 we believe it to be a very affordable bespoke gift which will be suitable for any child of any age. Godparents, Grandparents, Aunties and Uncles: your 'Excellent Present' radar will be twitching right now.

With our William Morris-like love of all things home-grown and wholesome, we are preparing for the launch of some new children's chairs. The hand carved Irish Oak chairs are rustic, solid and made to order. The craftsmen include carving and names along the back rungs if required. This is a wonderful and original gift for a small child and will last a lifetime. Pictures to follow once they have been added to our site over the next few days.

Our extremely popular Children's Clock range has expanded too. To accompany our friendly Fire-engine and Humpty Dumpty are the Dinosaur, The Monkey and the Pink Fairy. Quirky time pieces to adorn the walls in bedroom, playroom or nursery and a magical price of only £25.00

I very much look forward to hearing from you with comments and requests. Any feedback is always welcome!

Good Times at the Little Present Company

Richmond, North Yorkshire

Since buying the on-line gift site in November 2009, www.littlepresentcompany.co.uk, it has flourished under the careful guidance of business women, Emma Hendrix and Emily Peart. Both are committed mothers to small children, and during pre-school hours, they find time to devote their energies to the website and its artists.

Both bubbly blondes with great smiles and huge energy, they obviously enjoy what they do. ‘We have so much fun finding new products which are hand-made and of outstanding quality. Our product range is stacked full of things that make us smile,’ says Emily.

The first 9 months of business have been exciting and challenging for the girls. Despite the recession they have found business to be regular and surprisingly buoyant. ‘There is plenty of demand for personalised presents, and people are generally prepared to buy something which has been made to order and will last a lifetime’.

The broad selection of gifts on the website is very much a joint effort. They hand select artists and craftsmen who are able to bring something unique to the Little Present Company. So far, they are building friendships as well as a fabulous and loyal following.

With first hand-experience of children and with a small team of godchildren themselves, Emma and Emily are at hand to offer advice and suggestions for gift ideas. There is a free to use Reminder Service as well as a Present Finder scroll bar. Visit the girls at the website, or call for first-hand guidance and information. It will be fun, we promise!

Fashionable Pastels at LPC

This summer is pastel crazy. Everywhere you look there are soft shades of pink, cream and pistachio. Lemon yellow, pale pink and pretty lilacs are the new black.

It all feels so feminine and pretty, and extremely 1950s. All of the pastel shaded items I have chosen to display are hand-made and very British.

P is for Pastel Pink. Bunny Peg Rack (£26), Girl with Hat padded Photo Frame (£12.99), Double Butterfly Frame (£35.00) and Princess and Frog Money Box (£23.50).

Y is for Yes Please Yummy Yellow! Lucky Ducks personalised Cushion (£36)

B is for Cool Blue Baby Boy. Bunnies Cushion, Boy (£22), Tug Boat Personalised Mirror (£20), Sky Blue Stars Swimsuit (£24.50) and newborn Check lambs wool Blanket (£21.95).

G is for gorgeous pistachio Green. Wooden Mouse (£13), Love, Angel, Dream (£36): both of which also available in cool cream and pale pink.

L is for Lovely Lavender Lilac. Girl's Personalised Spotty Cushion (£36)

Ice-cream anyone...?

With love from sunny Yorkshire

Cushion frenzy

The LPC ladies love pretty things. Its the attention to detail mixed with the pleasing colours and the unusual subject matter juxtaposed with the originality of the medium...





It's all about hand-made (again) this week.

As mentioned previously, the new range of cushions at LPC are cute as pie. This one pictured is available, for example, in different coloured yarn, personalised if requested, on either grey or cream linen cover, with or without a crochet border. The options are as endless as the skill. Which do you prefer? Or do you love both of them with equal giddiness?

These cushions are a bargain at £36.00 and are perfect, thoughtful present for a Christening, newborn, birthday, Bar Mitzvah etc.
