Mini me treats

'Tis the season to be jolly! Oh my goodness, we're almost there. There are more windows on my calender open than closed (maybe a couple were opened prematurely. That can happen when Vodka's involved) and people have started breaking into this weird expression in the morning - I didn't realise so many commuters had teeth!

The final piece of my Christmas gift guide lies with those little people that Christmas is all about. No, I don't mean dwarves....

I mean children! Those pudgy-faced delights that drive affection-starved gran to be jealous of inanimate objects like the X-box. It is the season where miracles happen, and even kids colour in between the lines for fear of upsetting the omnipresent almighty; and his mate Rudolph. So while they're playing it sweet, and you're temporarily blindsighted by the glorious combination of Bucks Fizz and pigs in blankets, let's all play happy families.

Kids are mini you and me's, so I think it's only right to dress them as such. As uncles, dads and the like hover with their camera ready and full of intent, you want to make sure the children aren't messing it up with weird wardrobe choices from deluded family-members who think homemade knitted jumpers RULES OK.

Likewise, fluffy dungarees with bears have no place on a child over three, so if you're still scratching you're head for what to buy little Trinity and Kayla, La Redote and Gant have some really cute pieces:

If you want to be really inappropriate though, and let's face it, who doesn't at Christmas, dress little Kai or Callum for that classic 'like father like son moment':



Revolting n'est pas?

Love to you all cupcakes,

Ho, ho, ho!
