in the last love list i showed you some of my favourite handmade wish list items, and now i’m showing you what i wish i could’ve bought for my son’s birthday. i’m sure the the other parents out there know how hard it is to keep yourself restrained at present giving times! this year my son got some glow stars and a space activity set as well as a few little trinkets. but if money and spoiling was no option? look below…
ooooh i love little lunch boxes and containers and my virgo son is the same. i find little lunch boxes and bentos make for a fun and appealing way to serve healthier snacks in too. these sweet retro styled lunch boxes are available from not the high street.
and in further cute lunch box news: log cabin lunch box!! i think i want one of these just because it would match my son’s bedroom decor. and look, there’s an eager beaver in the window! my son really likes beavers, except for the one at the opening of peewee’s playhouse: “look at the naughty bieber eating the tree, mama”. that bieber sure is naughty! get your log cabin lunch box from lark.
i loved marbles, growing up. last year my son got a pretty rad marble run for his birthday but he’s getting to the age where he understands games a lot better. we played dominoes the other day just like my dad and i used to. my dad taught me how to play ‘cat’s eye’ with marbles and i treasured the standard birdcage marbles he gave me like gold! these fancypants handmade marbles are spectacular don’t you think? they’d be the gems of any marble collection. from akron marbles.
holy guacamole would you get a load of this book shelf! imagine having that in your room? wouldn’t it be enchanting? i certainly wish i’d found this store when i was looking for cute bookends. they’re much nicer than the ones i ended up buying. don’t settle for second best like i did though, buy some for yourself at graphic space wood.
and last but far from least!! the DIY color/decorate-it-yourself superhero costume! isn’t this fab? there are a range of costumes available including knights, kings, queens etc. i think i want a color-it-yourself outfit for me now. swoop over to ball and skittle for more info.




























That log cabin lunch box almost makes me with I worked in an office! It’s ace!
woodland bookshelf!? heck yes! super magical. and those lunchboxes are rockin’ my socks;)

lee-anne – the marbles just look gorgeous don’t they. i hope the marble fairy visits you soon haha
