Babies First Easter

With Easter rapidly approaching, some of us who have had a recent visit from the stork are scratching our heads and bending our brains for some great gift ideas for babies first Easter. Whether it is your son or daughter, or the children of friends and family, the trend to move away from traditional chocolate gifts is becoming increasingly popular.

While choccies will always be a customary and yummy gift for the oldies around Easter (how can we say no?!), try thinking outside the box to treat the little ones this year.

The Isoki store is full of great gift ideas and inspiration, our pick for a great Easter treat is the Isoki Reversible Smockette Set. It’s a wonderful idea for children of many ages as can be adjusted in size to “grow” with your child. The two piece set includes a placemat and smockette, and comes in a range of patterns suitable for all little ladies and gentleman.

Other original gift ideas include;

• Story books – Try new Easter titles like Fancy Nancy's Elegant Easter and Emma the Easter Fairy or pick up some old favourites like Spot’s First Easter (every child needs at least 1 classic “Spot” book!).

• Plush Toys – Easter is a great opportunity to spoil the little ones with gorgeous soft toys. IGE Design LA have some irresistibly cute soft bunnies if you want to go down the traditional path, or you can set your own trends and choose an equally adorable owl, teddy or kitten. We love Cot Couture for their range of gorgeous plush toys.

• Sippy Cups – A useful and always appreciated gift for little ones are colourful and fun sippy cups. There are loads of fabulous shapes, sizes and colours available from a range of brands, just make sure that you always buy BPA free.

• Simply on Board Toy Straps. How many times have you picked up a toy/dummy/sippy cup today? Say goodbye to this annoying chore and save your back in the process! Toy straps are a simple yet practical way of keeping toys off the ground, simply affix one Velcro end to a high chair, stroller or car seat and the other adjustable end to a favourite toy, bottle or teether. Perfect for the little ones at Easter, they are available in packs of 2. Head to http://boomdistribution.com/simplyonboard.html and choose your colour!

From all of us at ISOKI, we would like to wish everyone a safe and happy Easter! We hope you enjoy the day spending time with your loved ones and that the Easter bunny knows where to find you all!
