The Baby Show - baby gifts & bargains for all new parents & parents to be!

Off we go again this wek as we get ready for The Baby Show at Excel on the East side of London near the Dome.

We have a number of new baby gift ideas which will be available at special introductory prices & we look forward to meeting our customers & giving some demonstrations of taking baby feet casts.

You can book to have your baby cast at the show & we are giving away a free inkless footrpint to all of you with a copy of the voucher from our website. I've pasted it in this post too:
Bring a copy of the voucher along & we will take one amazing inkless print of your baby's foot & offer you a discount on our great range of other inkless footprint gift range from mugs to clocks, mouse mats to framed tiles.

We hope to see you there - it's well worth the trip. However, if you can't make it have a look at our special baby show offers on our website but remeber: we're away until Sinday living the high life at Excel so we won't send it until Monday the 3rd March if you order after 10am on Thursday this week.

Baby Shower Fun!

I hosted my first baby shower this weekend & what a laugh we had! We played some great games - some of which were made up & others bought from Shower My Baby.

After a few glases of wine 'Pin the dummy on the Baby' can become rather risky - I suggest you make it the first game of the evening if you ever have a baby shower!

The BBC was discussing baby showers on Breakfast TV this morning, saying they can mean forking out on expensive gifts but we all had great fun at little or no cost to anyone! We felt it was bad luck to buy for baby in advance of the birth so we put in for a Debenhams voucher to treat the Mum-to-be & we all decorated a white babygro as a joke present for baby. The decorations were really funny: some with pictures on & others with jokes. All in all good clean(ish) fun!

Just the one photo - can't give too much away can I........

Baby baby baby!!

Like him? Here's a sneak preview of our new baby logo for a great new range of baby gifts we will be launching very soon!

He was designed for us by Lee Healey who has illustrated for a number of publications such as The Dandy & Viz as well as CBBC.

As yet nameless, baby will be featuring on the website very soon so keep an eye out for him!

If you need a caricature or any other freelance cartoon work done, take a look at Lee's website:

Being a Mum & Running a Business - why???

Julie & I have done this for a while now. Creative Casting grew entirely from the change in our work situations, new arrivals & the need to remain sane.

It can be hard though. Don't kid yourself if your thinking of setting up your own business.

Despite that, I wouldn't change a thing & we both thoroughly enjoy our work. Providing people with the change to create such amazing keepsakes of their children is a very rewarding job. All kits have been created by us & we are proud of our kits.

The flexibility of the business means time for the children & we can always be around for schoolpick ups or illnesses & because we are both in the same position we work around problems together.

So, I'm now going to start my paperwork as the kids are both asleep & the house is all quiet.
You should go look at the website & buy a kit for someone you know needs a little memory making :-)
