Christmas can be overwhelming with gifts, and an experience gives that person the chance to not only enjoy the excitement of what is to come but enjoy the experience at a later date as well. However, what sort of experiences are a good gift at Christmas?
With the evenings becoming darker & darker, my mind is slowly starting to think about Christmas (I’m sorry, I said it!!). This will be my youngest child’s second Christmas & (fingers crossed!) we won’t be in lockdown this year, so there is a lot to celebrate. I thought I would jot down some potential gift ideas for my little one, which would be great gift inspiration for any under 2’s.
A few years ago I discovered the wonderful story of The Little Prince. A book that one of the children had brought home from the school library for us to enjoy at bedtime. From that first time reading the book I fell in love with the story and it has been one that we have enjoyed time and time again.

This September Piglet is making the move from her day nursery setting to preschool within the local school. Whilst this has been delayed (by nine months) due to the school’s policies, she is finally starting her educational journey. To mark this milestone in her life we have been sent a personalised copy of the My Book of Nursery Rhymes for her to read, enjoy and treasure throughout preschool and beyond.

Be careful what you wish for. With their after school junk business, best friends Sonny and Sam hope to find treasure in other people’s trash. But when cleaning out the Stine house, they open a locked book that frees a supernatural nightmare – Slappy!
When it came to thinking about World Book Day costumes this year, Where’s Wally? seemed like the obvious choice for Tigger. Not only a nod to his book of choice, but he does have a slight resemblance to Wally (in an endearing way).
It’s been well documented that reading for pleasure helps children achieve more both at school and in life. If you love reading and have a passion for children’s books, then Scholastic Book Parties offers a fantastic opportunity to help support literacy through running your own book business.
I’ve never been one of those Tuff Spot mums, a mum who sits and thinks about what crafts activity to create with her children next. There are two main reasons for this… Firstly, the imagination to think up these activities. Yes, there is Pinterest for inspiration – but seriously, who’s creations ever turn out remotely like it is showcased on Pinterest? Secondly, the skill level – I’m not exactly known for being creative so I get put off before I’ve even started.
