Over 15% off square frame casting kits

Grab a baby casting kit complete with an 8"x8" square frame while stocks last!  The kit is a great new baby gift idea & includes everything a parent needs to make up to 8 3D replicas of baby's hands or feet.

See the discounted range of baby casting kits now on our special offer page.

Baby Print jewellery from baby's inkless footprints

One of my favourite baby gifts from the website are these personalised silver baby print charms & pendants.
Created by taking baby's prints using our mess free inkless print kit & transferring the miniaturised prints onto fine silver. Below gives you an idea of the piece we can create for you from a set of baby footprints.


This fine silver dogtag pendant has been created as an alternative to silver fingerprint jewellery as the child was under 1 year old.  The Baby Prints range is great for this - fingerprints generally don't develop until at least 1 year & can still be very feint.

Prices start at £50 for a Baby Prints charm - take a look at the full Silver Fingerprint & Baby Print Jewellery Range.

Baby Casting Kits on Offer for April!

April Offer - £5 off Large Baby Casting Kits

With a change to our frames just around the corner, we are looking to clear out some stock to make room for the new!  This means we can reduce the large frame baby casting kit for the rest of this month (while stocks last).

This is one of our most popular styles as is so flexible.  The generously 16"x10" solid wood frame has 3 apertures to fit either a 6"x4" photo (centre) or two 5"x7" photos (left & right hand side).  Depending on the number of casts you get from the kit, you can display up to 4 casts & up to 2 photos in several different layouts.

The Large Baby Casting Kits come with all the materials required to create 8 3D feet or hands casts, of which 4 or 5 should be good enough to display in your wood frame.

The kit includes 3 metallic paints, glue & paintbrush as well as the casting materials. Comprehensive instructions make up the final but most important component of all.

With £5 off the large frame baby casting kit all this month you'd be silly not to grab one while they are still available!

Frame Update

Just noticed the post never got published regarding the status of the smooth oak effect frame - sorry!

One of our long time favourite frames has had to be discontinued as it is no longer available.  Sad to say good bye :-(

On a positive note though, we do have a very similar alternative if you are looking to match up to an old frame - contact us direct for details.

Also, we have an whole new range of frames on their way for the Spring & an lovely oak finish will be included as part of the new finishes.  These single piece deep rebate frames will have a greater depth for casts & are specially designed on the back for easy display.

We'll get a photo up as soon as we have the first frames in stock!

Snow stops play - well, nearly.....

Deliveries have been a major problem for us this ast couple of weeks & Julie will be glad when the courier can get his van along the road again!

We just wanted to thank our customers for their patience during this period.  As you can see we have made every effort to get our parcel into the delivery system despite the 15" of snow we have had.  Interlink couriers are doing their best to get the parcels to you & we hope to be back to normal next week.

If you have any outstanding queries, do email us or contact the courier direct from the confirmation email sent when your order was despatched.

Delivery update for the coming week -11th Jan 2010

It's still here.... but we have managed to despatch all orders placed this week. There may be some delivery delays in your area due to your local conditions but all parcels are moving through the system & we will be despatching as normal this coming week.

Thanks for your patience if you are waiting for a delivery & do email us if you have a problem with your delivery.

Jo & Julie

Despatches Update - latest snow delays

We are once again suffering from being a small business in a small road & have been unable to get any courier or mail collections since Wednesday due to the snow.

Firstly, apologies to those customers whose parcels haven't been despatched or that went on Monday or Tuesday & are still caught up in the system.

We are going to try & get some parcels despatched today by meeting our courier on the main road.  If you are waiting for an order to be despatched, check your email this afternoon as all customers whose parcels we have got on the van will receive an email from us confirming despatch.

We will try to keep you upated on the delivery situation & lets all hope we don't get too much more this weekend!

Jo & Julie
