Handmade Christmas Pledge Update - Teen Boys

So the other night I was having a bit of a melt down over the fact that it  really hard to buy presents for a child that is going to be starting high school because it is quite normal that kids change after they start, it can be even harder if you are looking for handmade. You don't want to be buying something that only use for a short time. So after chatting Dannielle from With2ns on twitter I went on a big search and I think I have found a great bunch of goodies that my son's going to love.

As soon as I saw this beanie I knew that I had to get it, Dion is off to Japan in March to Snowboard, so this will be perfect.

What great artwork this would be for a boys room.

If I had a penny for the amount of times my son has said this to me, I wouldn't be very rich but I could buy myself something really nice. hahaha

Handmade Christmas Pledge Update - Boys Things on Madeit - Blogtoberfest day 3

As I sit here tonight I'm very much ticked off. Why you may ask, well today is last day of the school holidays. Which means that Dion has to return to school tomorrow and I have to return to TAFE. Ok I know that this sounds a little abnormal but I'm not one of those mums that would pay the school to come back a week early.  Dion jokingly asked today if we could just tell the school he died so we didn't have to go back, its not that he doesn't like school its just he loves hanging out at home. I just keep telling him the term is only 10 weeks long then we can have 6 whole weeks hanging out together at home.

So this blog post is all things for boys.

I could just see Dion playing with one of these when he was younger, building Lego cars for Superman.

I know as a mother to a boy that it can be hard buying handmade gifts for them, its just so easy to make pretty things for girls that sometime they can get left behind by shops. Its wonderful to see these great shops making wonderful things for the little men in our lives. Coming up to Christmas I will be having a couple great new goodies in my shop that are designed just for boy so stay tuned.
