You know what I've found harder than being a mum, being an aunt. You see when you're a mum, within fairly flexible boundaries, you can do what the heck you like. Better still, your children have nothing to compare you to, I'm hoping it will take my son a fair few years to catch on to the fact that most families get dressed on Sundays. When you're an aunt, you've got to be all things to all people. You want the parents to think you're responsible, reliable and engaged and you want the kids to think you're really, really cool. This makes gift buying a complete minefield. For a start you have to keep track of what they're into, is it Monster High or Horrible Histories? Is Frozen still in? (Although the answer to this is yes, always). Then there's the fact that if you buy them something they totally love their parents will probably depise you - you know drum sets and high heels and replicas of weapons, that sort of gear. What to do? Get yourself crossed off a Christmas card list or risk losing your favourite grown up status?
Well I've got a gift for you today that will eliminate all those concerns! 'The Little Stork and My Given Name' is a completely personalised story in which a scrappy little stork called Bindee goes on a journey that has the lucky child's name woven into it. It's the sort of story that children will choose over and over and will love to read to themselves when they're older. Better still the book carries a wonderful message of positivity that any parent would love to share with their child. So if you've been racking your brains to find an appropriate gift for the cherised children in your life, don't say I never give you anything.
