Wow, this is a biggy! Apologies that it is all in one, but personally I started to bore myself with the individual gift guides I did last year, especially after the backlash of my Nanny/Au Pair Gift Guide – can you remember? Gawd I was only suggesting a few ideas and a few nannies and au pairs were not happy with my suggestions. SORRY! Anyway, kids won’t see this so they can’t complain!!
BABIES
Grey Horse Romper from Bumble & Ava £39
The colours and design on this romper are so unusual. I love the velvet trim too. Super smart.
Rabbit Night Light from Djeco £37
This beats a snow globe from the Piccadilly Tourist shops! It has a nightlight too so sure t keep your little one calm and transfixed.
Al Paca Hat from Oeuf NYC £57
Be warned, your baby would be coo’ed at in the street and potentially everyone would want to stroke them!!
Ugly Duckling Music Toy from Elodie Details £27
This beats a mobile from the high street. I’m always a sucker for a bit of netting and it’s not often you can have white around a weaning baby, but when it is out of touch – go to town!
Pink Heart Collared Sleeping Bag from Willa & The Bear £55
Peter Pan eat your heart out! This is adorable. I wouldn’t ever take it off them. Also comes in dusty blue.
GIRLS
Bundle Bed £199
Whenever one of the kids has to sleep on our bedroom floor, we get out the bundle bed (whilst breaking up the fight over whose turn it it) Easy to transport, unpack, wash and most importantly very comfortable – it is great for sleep overs and camping. We love ours!!
Wildlife Bumper Pack by Shrinkles £11
Can you remember putting old crisp packets in the oven and watching them shrink down? Was such a thrill. Well Shrinkles do this properly and you can buy all sorts of themes and then make them into key rings, clips and badges to name a few. A great activity for the day after Boxing Day!
Unicorn Hair Clips from Glammrags £8
How cute are these. These would go down well in a lot of young girls stocking. Glammrags also have a huge range of girly hair and jewellery goodies. The cat head bands are also darn brilliant.

Perfect to liven up that book bag… Just don’t nick it!

‘Mummy’ Pouches from Mimosa Baby £15
Called Mummy but I know a few little ladies who would love one of these to hold all their hair clips! Choose your letter and Liberty fabric… Also comes in Natural!
These sweatshirts that are affiliated with the beautiful New Kings Road shop Cuckoo Hibou are understated and very cool. In navy and grey.
Puff Sleeve Dress from Coco Belle £38
Coco Belle is the only place I will go for my (my daughters) smocked dresses. They are all so beautiful and the fabrics and colours are lovely. The website is set out so well so you can shop by age. This is under age 6 but be quick as they don’t hang around for long – not at that price!
Crossley Gold & Pink Record Player £89
Ok, not sure I would even know where to find a vinyl record that mu daughter would want to play, but this is such a gorgeous set, if you are a hip family who does have a selection of vinyls – this would be mega – and she could carry it around.
BOYS
Gravity Powered Speed Track from £20
Started by husband and wife team, this is a genius race track that doesn’t require batteries and you can take anywhere. We have a double track and it is great to have races on the sitting room floor without having to build it!!!
Mega Fort Kit by Stick Lets £36
If your kids are into make dens – these will give you piece of mind. Secure the sticks together with these and the den will be as sturdy as a rock!
Emperor Pyjamas from Three North Stars £26.95
As a mum of three boys who wasn’t enamoured by cartoon print or legging style pyjamas that are all over the high street, Kim decided to design and make her own. Inspired by the pyjamas that she wore when growing up in Laos, the cotton linen mix is super soft and there are no fiddly buttons. I love them! Also come in blue and cream.
Large Blue Star Personalised Pencil Case from Little Letterman £15
Love a star and this good sized pencil case will be able to house both the protractor and calculator (joke, not sure how they manage without a calculator!)
52 Dates from Roll Out History £20
Border your kids room with this wonderful informative self adhesive history timeline. For more info read my review here.
Budding Builder Box from Kid K’Nex £27.99
Totally ageless, this mega box of tricks keeps my 3-7 year olds very happy. Enough bits to make many funny combination of ‘aliens’ – it is one box that will be sticking around for a long time! Great for fine motor skills and imagination too.
Socker Boppers from Five Boys Clothing £10
It was hard to choose one gift off this website as it is packed with cloths and gifts for boys. Well worth a look if you want a one stop shop.
Star Wash Bag from Catapult Clothing £20
Made from up cycled bouncy castle fabric, this wash bag is bright, fun and boy proof. Catapult also sells gorgeous T Shirts…
Jackson Rocket Print Sweat from Angel & Rocket £25
Their signature sweat with the reflective Rocket logo. Perfect for any busy boy as it is super soft and allows my busy boy to move around like a box of frogs without feeling restricted.

The unique patented design of Wraps means you can now wear your earphones on your wrist when you’re not using them – ideal for cycling to and from the gym, heading out for the day and for anyone who doesn’t carry a handbag!
Pineapple Trunks from Big Cat Clothing £30
I couldn’t decide which to include as there are so many funky prints. Really reasonable and they have matching Dad ones!
There must be something in here that you haven’t seen before? If there is a new website or product you think London Mummy readers would like, please let me know!
Lots of love
