So for something a little special, we thought up a theme for his present based on the message we had written in his card:
I absolutely love creating themed presents and this one was particularly special. Here's what we created:
We love you in the day time - A pair of Seed jeans, a Country Road cuff shirt, a Bauhaus shirt and a couple of pairs of Bonds bamboo socks.
We love you at bed time - A pair of Bonds pj's, a pair of Pure Baby organic slippers, a children's bible and a book titled 'A Treasury for One Year Old's'.
We love you in the summer time - An Adairs Kids candy stripe beach towel, Country Road board shorts, a pair of Havaiana's, Winnie the Pooh beach ball and Winnie the Pooh inflatable arm bands.
We love you at play time - Playskool 'Explore 'n Grow' Step Start Walk 'n Ride.
For the wrapping, I drew an outline of a sail boat and truck onto wrapping paper and glued these onto white gift bags and a gift box I had purchased from Spotlight. This is a very simple and effective way of coordinating your presents with your card, which in this case is a #1 used from the same wrapping paper.
And with lil' John celebrating his actual birthday in a couple of weeks, I can't wait to add a few more special themed presents to these I have shared with you today.
Why not try thinking up a themed present for the next party you're invited to? I've tried the following themes in the past:
- baby bath time products in a mini rubber tub
- art and craft supplies
- a collection of books in a handmade book bag
- feeding products
- gardening supplies in a terracotta pot
- cleaning products in a wash basket or basic baking or cooking supplies in a kitchen storage box (great for kitchen tea's)
