These days life is so busy that we need to be as prepared as we possibly can. I have a calendar up on the wall to remind me of everything I need to do and where I need to be. I also like to keep a box of presents for either boys or girls so the children can always wrap up something really nice to take to their various parties. When they were smaller they could come home with invitations to three or four parties a month…each! It seems to be getting a bit easier now though. My motto is ‘be prepared!’ What really helps me with this is to have some cards at the ready for any occasion, cards that I have taken time over and carefully selected instead of having a mad dash at the last-minute. I’ve got a beautiful box made for me by one of my best friends on my shelf that I know that I can go to and be able to pick out a suitable card whenever I need it.
The selection of cards at Hallmark are so pretty and I have recently been looking at the Disney range.
Hallmark have been pioneers of greetings cards for over 100 years and pride themselves on being the go to place for when you want to show someone how loved they are.
I love this 3D Belle card which has a fold out honeycomb dress. Really pretty and it adds a bit of an extra girly flamboyance to it.
The itty bitty collection is made up of a whole host of well known and adorable characters, from the Frozen favourites; Elsa, Anna, Olaf and Sven to Captain Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean. The cute toys are so soft and snuggly that I bet you won’t want to give them away as presents. I remember when my youngest was smaller he loved rubbing clothes tags between his fingers as a soother and when I saw the little arms and in particular the antlers on Sven itty bitty I imagined him doing the same with these toys.
With most toys being quite expensive it was refreshing to see that itty bittys are well within the price I like to pay. At £6.00 each they are very reasonable and they are bound to put a smile on the face of whoever receives them.

Birthdays
Love birthdays and picking the perfect card and present for people. Although men who aren’t big drinkers, don’t like sport and are too old for teddies, are hard to buy cards for especially when they hit a big birthday. But Christmas is my favourite, love the vintage cards you can buy or the ones where they are looking in the toy shop window. On Boxing Day last year I said “never mind it’ll soon be Christmas”. 🙂
I’m not so keen on shopping for myself but love shopping for my sons birthday and christmas
