:: Children’s gift guide
Posted by Joelle on December 14, 2007
Well, last ordering and posting dates for Christmas are rushing up on us, so without further ado, here is another gift guide for you from Four Good Corners. This one is all about lovely gifts for children, though I have to say that one or two of them look good for grown ups too!
If you missed the ethical gift guide posted here earlier this month you can read it here.
Click on product names for links to shops.
Alexander Girard woodblocks, $100, are the most charming and stylish around, for the retro modern tot.
Giraffe wall decal made from vintage wallpaper by Inke Heiland, €58.50
Lion cushion by Zid Zid Kids, £24 at Luxeville
Found paper collage, personalised with initial, $160 from Petit Collage
Junior Panton chair by Vitra, £89.25-£105
Handknitted cardigans from Cooking Apple, £35-£38 (on my list is the adult tank top they started making due to popular demand)
Katvig bodysuit, £13.99 from Olive Loves Alfie, one of my favourite local shops now has a new online shop, so all of you not near Stoke Newington can buy their lovely things.
Paint your own t shirt kit from Creative Charlie, £14.99
Making Stuff for Kids, £14.95 - I’ve had the Making Stuff book for a while, and it has loads of great projects in it. This new version, full of crafty projects for children to do, is bound to be good I reckon.

That lego mould is fabulous! Simon is definitely getting a lego cake next birthday.
Oh no - I’ve just thought of something terrible. When I have kids, they’re going to want jelly.

Oh, I like the zoom zoom aeroplane spoon. There can’t be a parent in the world who hasn’t “flown’ the food to their kid’s mouth in the hope said kid might actually eat it! Why didn’t anybody think of it before?
