best christmas gifts for under 20

Sometimes when time is short and you’ve left stuff to the last minute, it’s handy to have one place to go to, to find all your gifts.  That place for me is Little Flea – a one-stop place where you find all the best baby and kids brands from small, independent retailers.  Rather than trawl the entire web looking for christmas gifts for kids, I find it a lot easier to go to Little Flea where I still get lots of choice but save a lot of time too.

In our home, Anya’s birthday is just a little before Christmas.  That means December is full of presents for her – sometimes too many.  So what we do is give her a big present for her birthday and small, inexpensive stuff for Christmas.  I always get her birthday present organised in time but with everything going on the little Christmas gifts often get left till the last minute.  So today I headed to Little Flea to make a list of possibles for Anya and while I was there I picked out some of the best little gifts that you too can get for under £20 with many that are under £10 too.  Here are my picks for the best Christmas gifts for under 20:

1.rain cloud bath toy | 2. set of fruity bookmarks | 3. lion cushion soft toy | 4. sunny yellow peel of nail polish | 5. unisex knee high bear socks (blue or wine) | 6. set of superhero masks | 7. flower series sonny angels | 8. colourful wooden rattle | 9. pom pom hair clips | 10. penguin art print | 11. wooden aeroplane toy | 12. woodland doll toy | 13. artistik herve tullet drawing game | 14. mouse doll rattle

P.S. I have lots more gift ideas you can take a look at including gifts for babies, some fabulous book gift ideas and more. 

"Christmas gift ideas for babies"

Yesterday I shared some adorable Christmas gift ideas for baby boys so today it’s the turn of baby girls.  I love putting lists like this together because there is so much adorable stuff out there for babies but that makes it difficult to choose just ten things.  This guide is more of a flavour of the types of things you can give like cozy clothes, sweet musical toys, or even gorgeous bath toys.  I hope you like the selections:

1. baby rabbit night light | 2. floating duck bath toys | 3. two-tone baby socks | 4. soft toy doll | 5. animal mittens and hat | 6. popcorn sweater | 7. stars mobile | 8. large snail musical soft toy | 9. face print dress | 10. wooden hedgehog toy

When I recently asked on my facebook page if you would like a Christmas gift list this year, I got a big fat yes from many of you.  So today I start my Christmas 2014 gift ideas.  To kick off the gifts, I wanted to share some ideas for babies.  Babies can be hard to buy for because they don’t actually need anything other than love, milk and their mamas and dads.  But that doesn’t mean that we can’t spoil them anyway.  From sweet little toys to cute and cozy clothes, here are some Christmas gift ideas for little baby boys:

1. fish rattle | 2. animal mittens and hat | 3. knit trousers | 4. milk musical toy | 5. bear blanket | 6. bunny night light | 7. striped teddy soft toy | 8. cuddly panda | 9. crown sweater | 10. grey baby booties

This week’s picks for mama & baby… some more Christmas gift ideas but this time in blue.  I love blue and as there are so many different shades of the colour there’s something for everyone.  One of the reasons I picked this colour today is because I think blue works for girls just as well as for boys:

1.  Bookhou stones tea towel for mama from Vuela Boutique.

2.  Bieq hand knitted baby dress from Line +Liv.

3.  Sage & sandalwood hand cream for mama from Anthropologie.

4.  Leather baby shoes by Ajalor.

5.  Tube toy train for baby from e-side.

6.  Japanese linen illustrated table runner for mama from Upon a fold (Update Jul 2014 – this shop has closed down sadly).

7.  Sea blue canvas laptop case for mama by Baggu.

8.  Printed velvet peacock pillows for mama by Michelle Varian.

9.  100% wool handwoven school bag for baby by Bobo Choses.

10.  Handmade crochet lottie cat doll by Alessandra Taccia.

11.  Organic contrast toe and heel tights for baby by Buisjes & Beugels.

12.  Cloud blue and cream wooden necklace for mama by Vera Viridis.

Unlike me, I suspect most of you are organised and have finished your Christmas shopping {I haven’t even started!} so this will be the last gift list of the year.  But in case you’re still looking for ideas, you can check out my all my other Christmas gift guides too.

"French toys for kids"

Today’s Christmas gift guide is a selection by French Blossom, my sponsors.  French Blossom is a kids store started by husband and wife team Nicholas and Meriem.  Even though they don’t have kids (yet), having met and lived in Paris for many years, Nicholas and Meriem were ‘inspired by the exquisite elegance and style devoted to children’s clothing, toys and decoration in France’.  As Nicholas explains, ‘the idea behind French Blossom is to – ‘Celebrate French Fashion for Children,’ and to exclusively showcase chic and stylish independent French children’s designers’.  So I thought this Christmas, it would be fun to ask them to choose their favourite gift ideas from their store and I also wanted to find out a bit more about how they spend their Christmas.  Here’s what they said:

Let’s talk Christmas! What do you love most about it?

Family time! Its great to all gather together, have fun and relax.

What’s a typical Christmas day for you?

We wake up and see if Father Christmas has been kind to us 🙂 ! We all then sit in the living room in front of the fire and Christmas tree, opening the presents as the lovely smells of the Christmas dinner wafts in from the kitchen.  After lunch we wrap up nice and warm and go for a walk to watch the annual swim in the sea.  There are hundreds of brave people, many dressed up in fancy dress costumes who swim in the freezing water.  Then there is a nice warm drink for everyone.  We haven’t done this swim yet but maybe this year!

Is your Christmas more French or more English?

Our Christmas is British; Meriem and I always go back to the UK for Christmas.  The only thing French is the wine on the table.

Anything you dislike about Christmas?

I don’t like when I have finished opening the last present, finished the wonderful turkey dinner or saying goodbye to relatives who have come over for the day
