Take a look on thejohncraneblog on blogger - there are some great shopping features, here is one below, there are lots of pictures on thier own blog though...
Today’s focus is on ‘being a girl’… there’s no denying when buying a gift for a little girl you won’t go far wrong if you focus on pink, hearts, ballerinas, flowers, pink, ponies, dolls houses and more pink….
So here’s a round-up of what’s in the shops for all your Mini-Misses this week.
http://www.kidsrooms.co.uk/ has our beautiful Pink Vanity Unit for £99.00 on their site. It’s a stunning piece of furniture, built to last and every bit the part with little drawers for make-up or secret diaries… a mirror to ensure the look is complete before hitting the shops, and a matching stool which is just the right height for your little diva to be comfy on whilst pretending to be just-like-mum!
There’s even more furniture from John Crane that little girls will love, so visit http://www.kidsrooms.co.uk/ again and check out their Two Tone Chairs. At 22.50 each they come in five colour ways, I reckon the two-tone pink and the two-tone mauve will be the firm favourites for girly girls but they also come in green, turquoise and blue too. Plus, they are such high quality I’ve seen our sales director stand on them at toy fairs just to show how strong they are!!! We’re not saying Keith’s heavy of course….
For little ladies that love their books, and want to keep them neat and tidy there’s some fabulous Ballerina Bookends at http://www.treasureislandtoys.co.uk/ at £14.99. In subtle pinks and apricots this ballerina is a real beauty, she might even inspire the next Darcy Bussell!
Alternatively, if you’re young lady is more the action type; John Crane has a gift to suit. The Pink First Bike found at http://www.welovetoys.co.uk/ at £48.99 is an ideal starter bike. Balance bikes have had much press of late, as they are THE on-trend way of teaching your child to ride their ‘proper’ bike, I know when I was young, I had a bike with stabilisers and a dad that chased after me as I peddled down the road… today the in-thing to get is the balance bike, no pedals just foot power – children apparently learn the balance part first which then helps with the pedal power later. Check out the First Bikes at www.welovetoys.co.uk and there’ll be a colour to suit. Maybe, if they’d been around 40 years ago I may have had fewer grazed knees…
Returning indoors, most girls want a dolls house at some point, and what better way to get on the property ladder than to order The Little Cottage? http://www.wishgifts.co.uk/ has them at £45.00. The Little Cottage is akin to the gingerbread house with its stylised designs. The pink theme is complemented by a pink Juliet balcony, plus there is a garden with apple tree and bench. The whole house comes complete with all the furniture too!
Finally, from http://www.rimbalzo.co.uk/ a pink guitar completes our girly round-up today! It’s a fine first guitar with tuneable strings; although it’s no Stratocaster it does make a very pleasing sound and will encourage any budding Suzi Quatro to begin strumming.
