Is this a good party bag?

Trying to avoid throwaway plastic toys. Note the elephant finger puppet is handmade. The paper bags I bought online also coming out smaller than I thought. Contents: stickers, temp tattoos, raisins, crisps, wind up sweet and finger puppet.

Christmas Quilt

I wanted something that my LO could take out each year in December, a bit of an heirloom piece. I've hand stitched this quilt for him. Hopefully he'll love taking it out each year.

Is this okay

So, I’ve bought my daughter a pram for her main present for Christmas and then the MIL turns up with a pram🙃 Does this sound okay or too confrontational?

What to put in Christmas Eve box?

I'm thinking a Xmas book, a chocolate treat, some 'reindeer food' anything else that's inexpensive? Like socks or slippers? I think PJs are a bit too much, any other ideas?

Does this seem like a good 9th wedding anniversary gift idea?

The 9th year theme is pottery/willow. We don’t always follow the yearly rules but my idea for a gift was to buy my husband his favorite premium chocolates and a card, and for the main gift buy a pottery date kit for two for the two of us to do at home on the weekend with some good wine, snacks and take out in the ev...

Gifts for grandparents

Our lovely mums look after our little boy a couple of days every week so that we can work and reduce nursery fees to one day a week (we are very lucky!). I was just looking for some inspiration for a special gift ‘from the baby’ for being such wonderful grandparents this year. Would be grateful for any ideas.

WIBTA if…?

So every year for my mom’s birthday I gift her something she likes. Usually a bottle of wine, flowers and a card or money. This year was my 30th birthday. My mom usually doesn’t gift anything (no excuse for that as she is a shopaholic). I never held it against her until this year. I was surprised when she said s...

Is $50 a reasonable budget for gifts?

I can easily stick with that for my toddler . My husband and I don’t really exchange gifts but that’s still easy to stick with if we do. But is that reasonable for extended family and friends? He set that budget for the whole family. All except a few of our friends are a four person household. The real reason I th...

Salt dough craft

My favourite type of craft. Would do this at work (was a nanny) and can now finally do it with my own bubba. My heart is full ☺️🩷 Can't wait to do Christmas tree ornaments with this too 🎄
