There’s nothing quite like handmade gifts for the little people in your life – they have heart and soul that mass produced toys just can’t compete with.

As well as our own birthday here at Felt, we’re celebrating the arrival of the first Felt team junior. You might have seen mention in our April newsletter that Rose was expecting. I’m delighted to announce that baby Hamish was born on Tuesday weighing 3.98kg, and both mum and bub are doing well. And yes, that was Felt’s birthday – what an auspicious date to make one’s entrance! Congratulations Rose and Josh, and welcome to the world little Hamish!
“So, Master and Miss Four, you’re thinking about what you want to do with your lives. Yes, you’re quite right, this is the perfect time to be considering your options and here at the Felt Careers Advice Bureau we can help you find the tools to work through this.”
Christmas is all about family – and there’s nothing quite like handmade gifts for the youngest family members. So of course our Christmas Gift Guide wouldn’t be complete without a whole section devoted to gifts for kids and babies.
One can’t compile a cute selection of nursery decor for baby boys and not follow up with some sweet things for little girls. Pink is always a popular choice for girls, but I also think it’s nice to mix it up a bit with other lively spring colours. Picking a colourful feature piece like Tinch Design Studio’s restickable wall decals gives you a palette of pretty hues to carry through as a theme.
A friend of mine who’s expecting a baby boy in the not too distant future is decorating the nursery in white with a nautical theme. I love the simplicity of her idea and it inspired me to pick out a few beautiful things for a little boy’s room.
