Excuse the cheesy line...but SERIOUSLY, it genuinely is!!!
I know it's still only November but now that Bonfire Night is out of the way I officially do not care and I am not holding back anymore....as far as I am concerned, the festive season is now upon us and I am going to shop until I drop!!
I already have my calendar filled up with various Festive events going on - Christmas light switch ons, Father Christmas and his Reindeer visits, Street market nights, etc!
I absolutely cannot wait for it all to get started!
Whilst totting up my list of Christmas gifts to buy a few nights ago, I was actually pretty shocked to see how much I have already bought and put away for Tyne's 1st Xmas.
I already have his personalised Christmas sack
I bought it on Ebay for the bargain price of £12.99! I wanted a traditional Christmas sack with his name on, and one that was big enough for him to use every year - even when he's older and likely to be asking things that come in bigger boxes!
I also already have personalised Christmas decorations all ready for him....some of which I have even made myself!
And I have already got his personalised Christmas bibs....
And a wide array of Christmas clothes for him to wear!
All I need now is his Christmas day outfit....unfortunately I can't seem to find anything that I like or think is special enough for his first Christmas, but I'm not too worried as I know that I am going home to Liverpool soon and I KNOW I will have much more luck shopping there!
Don't get me wrong, I like living in the South West but it has to be said that it is not the best place to live if you're a bit of a shopaholic like me!
Yes it has all the usual high street stores, but the shops are much smaller and don't carry a huge selection....
Also Liverpool has much more in the way of independant childrenswear boutiques and dedicated childcare product specialists - One of my favorite places to shop in my hometown is My Crib Rocks, a pram and accessories shop which stocks such an amazing range of items - it really is worth a visit if you're ever in the area!!!Or if not, check them out online - http://www.mycribrocks.co.uk,
