Mother’s Day with Truprint #millionmumssmile

Mother’s Day is the perfect time to spend time with family and of course spoil your mum.  But what do you buy?  There’s always the traditional flowers and chocolates but I think it’s nice to find something a bit different and possibly personalised.  This is where Truprint could be the place you are looking for.  Nowadays they do so much more than produce photographic prints, in fact there is quite an array of personalised gifts available that would be perfect for Mother’s Day this year.

For my mum, I will probably buy her some flowers but I like to give her a present too.  It’s always hard to buy for her as she seems to have everything but then I spotted this personalised jigsaw which can be made from a photograph.  I know she enjoys doing a jigsaw, so I decided to get a puzzle made up using a family photograph taken earlier this year.  I think it is something that she will enjoy doing with the grandchildren and they will be fascinated that their images have been immortalised onto a jigsaw!

For myself I want something useful for Mother’s Day, a nice gift that doesn’t just sit there (I have enough clutter in my house!) so when I spotted this 13oz Photo Travel Mug I knew it’s something I’d like to receive as I need a new lidded mug for work and how lovely to be able to look at pictures of my children all day!  I think receiving something practical is so much more acceptable these days especially when it’s personalised.

For children I think it’s appropriate to give just a small gift to their mummies, and something they can help design themselves and thats when I spotted these 3D Animated Bookmarks.  With a vast choice of backgrounds to choose from and the ability to add two photos to each one that magically change when you tilt it, these are the perfect choice for children to give as gifts.  My two designed one each with their own photos in and I can’t wait to receive them on Mother’s Day to use in my books.

Another simple idea is a keyring where you can simply choose an image to go inside.  These are ideal to use as a small gift on their own, or to add to other gifts.

 

Why not take a look at the Truprint website yourself and see what you can find to give your mum this Mother’s Day?

Stocking Filler Toys from Gacha

One thing all children like at Christmas is hanging up their stockings waiting for them to be filled with lots of little treats and delights.  I know my two children are already excited about hanging their stocking by the fireplace and it’s the first thing they open on Christmas morning.  Tomy’s collectible Gacha range of pocket money toys make the ideal thing to pop in Christmas stockings.

The little sealed packets are fun to open and my children were all excited at the prospect of what was giong to be inside.  With brands in the range such as Hello Kitty, Disney, Monsters University, Furby, Transformers there is sure to be something everyone will like.

Our packets contained items from Monster’s university, Disney and Hello Kitty.

Miss M was pleased with her Hello Kitty bracelet and hairbands and wanted me to do her hair straight away.  She also put the Disney ring straight on her finger – it has a large design on top that she was keen to show everyone.

Mister B had a Monster’s University monster that came in 5 pieces to build yourself although was a little difficult to assemble.  There was also a Monster’s University key chain and a water squirter duck from Disney.  Mister B had fun playing with the three figures on the floor and was quite amused by them.

We tried the duck bath squirter that night and it actually works quite well, they had lots of fun squirting each other with it and Mister B named him “super duck” due to the cape on his back.

Overall, these stocking fillers are the sort of little items that children love and carry around with them.  For some low priced branded fun, then these are sure to bring a smile to a young child.

Gacha stocking fillers are available from Tesco
