Personalised Gift ideas - Don't forget Mother's day is on 3rd April!

I like to try and give personalised gifts to my family, I have spent hours searching online for presents. Below are a few of my favourites.
If you have any that you think that I could mention please let me know!

Name a Rose
I have just bought this for a very close friend who lost her amazing husband last year, he was very special to me and it is coming up to what would have been his Birthday, their anniversary and also her Birthday all within the space of a week. I thought that by naming a rose after him would be a lovely way to remember him by and to let them know that I am thinking about him often. The gift contains seeds, information on how to grow the seeds, you can send the registry card with your chosen name, you will then get a certificate with the name you have chosen a few days later.

Dear Mum from You to Me
I bought this as a gift for my Mum for Christmas, there are so many stories parents have to share but unless they keep a diary they are often forgotten or not passed on from generation to generation, I thought this was a lovely way to hear about my mum's childhood and special memories about our childhood which could be forgotten. My mum was really touched by this present, you can also get it for Grandparents, Fathers, and friends.

Heat Sensitive Photo Mug
I bought my sisters for Christmas last year what they thought was a plain black mug, we were all sat together and they all thanked me I could tell they were all thinking 'why on earth has she bought me a plain black mug'.
I then went into the kitchen and poured boiling water into the mug and a photo of Tillie appeared and there was a personalised message on the other side of the mug - they were all really touched by the gift and love it!
They arrived in a plain cardboard box, just seeing the surprise on my sisters faces was worth every penny.
On sale now for only £7.50 http://www.printster.co.uk/personalised-mugs-coasters-1/heat-sensitive-photo-mug-8.html

Personalised Cards
I always send personalised cards and tend to use http://www.moonpig.com/uk/ or http://www.marksandspencerpersonalised.com/ I think these are so special and also very reasonable often much cheaper than what you find in a card shop. It works out that they cost approximately £2.98 plus postage which in total cost your £3.48 all from the comfort of your own home. Fantastic value for money!
Delivery is also very fast and if ordered by 2pm should arrive next working day all being well.

Personalised Books
I bought one of these for Tillie's first Birthday, I think it is a lovely way to mark a special occasion by adding photographs and personalising it with your child's name and a friend's name, there are a wide range of good quality books available, prices start at £10

Personalised Whisky
http://www.scotchgift.com/ This is a fantastic idea if you know someone who is a keen whisky drinker and you want to send a gift that is a little bit special - you can design your own label or write down any ideas you have, the label deisgned then emailed for your approval before being posted a couple of days later. The whisky itself is very pleasant. I bought a bottle for a colleague's 60th Birthday which went down a treat! Prices start from £30

"Your baby has Laryngomalacia"!!!????

I will explain a little about my labour, maybe a detailed explanation might go up in the future but lets put it like this, it was not nice and after suffering from an Irritable Uterus throughout my pregnancy followed by a 42 hour labour and a scary ending but I got the beautiful Tillie Bean so was worth every second! Basically the cord was wrapped around her neck twice and right round her body. She had the hiccups so much during pregnancy and I am wondering if this does have a connection to the problem which was about to be revealed! I remember a few nights after Tillie was born hearing a strange noises when she was breathing, I had to stay in hospital for a few nights as I needed a blood transfusion, I buzzed the nurse to check about her breathing but was told 'it is just mucous on her lungs it is very common it won't last long'. Even as a new mum I thought that this wasn't the case, but who was I to argue. This 'mucous' was getting louder and louder and by

From an outsiders point of view

We were in our local town centre; there is a new retail park where there are a few water features. The parking is reasonable and you can buy pretty much get everything you need which makes life so much easier! There is even a couple of coffee bars which serve yummy cakes so we often sneak in there when tots is asleep (due to her being allergic to egg, we can only eat cake when she is asleep otherwise she cannot understand why she isn't allowed any and I would never let her watch me eating it bless her) Tillie had been asleep and we managed to sneak a coffee and cake in before she woke up, the coffee bar we were in was right opposite the water feature, there is a wall around for people to sit on and the feature is like a few water sprinklers which go on and off. When tots woke up I got her out of the pushchair ad let her have a run around, she was giggling and I was swinging her as I normally do, I then let her walk along the wall and she sat herself down and I was singing a song

Did you really know how to breastfeed - did you get support?

You buy the books, I thought I could give Supernanny a run for her money, bring that baby on! I thought I knew it all! Yeah right! I was convinced for the first half of my pregnancy that I was going to bottle feed baby bean, my mum never breastfed us, only one of my sister's tried breastfeeding but I don't think her experience was good, but the fact my mum has been so poorly through life and me and my sisters have had a number of illnesses and such a weak immune system I started to seriously think about this and decided that maybe it would give Bean the best start in life plus I did feel pressured by everyone else to do it, media, nurses midwifes, leaflets! I really did have a terrible childbirth it was quite traumatic and I was semi unconscious I don't really remember much about the first night with Tillie, I was too poorly to watch her all night, I was in desperate need for a blood transfusion and was told on the labour ward that I was not to be left on my own or atte
