It's been a pretty awful year with covid, lockdowns and social distancing. So this year I'm trying to make Christmas extra special for Blake. With lockdown 2.0 it means alot of Christmas shopping is having to be done online. If your stuck with what to buy this Christmas I'm here to give you some inspiration. Tomorrow I'll be sharing a Christmas guide for the adults but today it's all about the kids.

The Wow Journal | £15
The WOW Journal is a fun creativity and wellbeing journal for ages 5-12, created for kids by kids.The journal has a simple premise: to help children notice, appreciate and reflect on all the amazing things in life that make them say: "Wow!"

Where's (Name of child) by Itsyourstory | £19.50 (softback) £22 (hardback) plus postage
Itsyourstory's popular Christmas book is back.
The personalised story follows the adventures of a young boy or girl who wakes on Christmas morning but is far too excited to go back to sleep. The child creeps around the house discovering that there's plenty of fun to be had while the rest of the family sleeps - from nibbling some icing from the Christmas cake to finding reindeer tracks in the snow and feeling their presents under the tree.
There are three animals to spot on each page and the story line is simple and engaging, capturing all the rituals of Christmas from building a snowman to leaving out a mince pie for Father Christmas.
