Good bye Summer, Hello Autumn

The autumnal winds have blown summer away. I have lit the Aga and dug out my chunky knits. How did it all go so quickly? The children start school on Thursday and our little 4 year olds, Freddie and Molly, are new-starters. There is going to be a lot of emotion in the carpark after dropping them off. When James started 2 years ago, I sat in my car and sobbed. So with more time on my hands from now on, the Little Present Company is going to have more of my time and energy. It is our 3rd child anyway, but this one does not have to sit on the Naughty Step and is always happy to see us.

Our final summer swan-song was this weekend and went off with a bang. It was a camping weekend, and thanks to an inflatable mattress and the delicious quilted quality of our sleeping bags, the children slept really well. So well, infact, that we are considering a Camping Fest in our field every summer from now on. Large amounts of beer and wine helped the grown ups to sleep, but the children snuggled into their padded bags and slept off the sugar-rush of the marshmallows and excessively sugary drinks. (Sleeping bags available through LPC at £45 per bag, which is a great price to pay for a full night's sleep!).

We are at hand to help you with your endless list of gift-needy children. The Godchildren, the Grandchildren, the neices and nephews and everything in between. The vast range of presents at the Little Present Company are able to cater for every budget and every occassion: all you need to do is ask and we can accommodate your requests on the personalised items. Whether it is a snuggly pair of pyjamas or one of our old-fashioned nighties, or a wheelie bike or a wooden kitchen sink, we are here to help. Good luck and God Speed, one and all.

With love

Emily and Emma

Bespoke really is Bespoke

Our commitment to our customers every whim is perfectly demonstrated in our latest successfully completed order.

After being happy with the quality of the 'Tractor and Trailer' personalised cushion to celebrate the birth of her first-born son, our lovely customer, Mrs W, was quick or order again. This time for her godson whose parents are keen hill walkers. She asked for a design to be created in earth colours and a subject matter personal to the Godson's family.

Our cushion-ladies draw up an image for approval, and then within a couple of days and a substantial amount of stitching, knitting and crocheting, they produce the final version of the 'Heath' cushion. Mrs W is delighted, and so are we: smiling faces all round.

Come to us with all of your artistic challenges at www.littlepresentcompany.co.uk

You are all in luck. Tobyboo, our lovely lady with a skill for creating hotchpotch fabric frame works, has reduced her prices.

Each picture is made to order with love and heaps of skill. A reduction in price does not mean she has reduced the attention to detail. Far from it. Tina is on a creative whirl at the moment with a heap of projects of the go and an ever-increasing fertile imagination.

We are preparing for the launch of her Personalised Christmas Sacks, more information and pictures to follow. Is that the distant tinkle of festive bells I can hear in the distance?

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
