A special gift from icklebutton

Being online a lot means that I often spend far too long looking at websites for things for the children.  Icklebutton was one of those sites that jumped out at me and made me want to buy something straight away.  Icklebutton specialise in great quality, personalised baby gifts that are either handmade or have a hand-crafted element to them, to make them really unique and special.

Now I realise that I don’t have any babies any more, but honestly a lot of the gifts could be suitable for older children too and I know that all of mine really love things with their names on; it makes it theirs and something that they don’t have to share.  There are appliqué letters in a frame. personalised baby sets, gorgeous personalised hanging hearts, personalised clothing teddies and more.  I could have chosen so many things, but when I saw the personalised patchwork cushions, I knew that was the thing.  My daughter loves cushions and I knew that one with her name on would be really special.  It arrived really quickly and when I opened the box, I found this;

How lovely is that?  I really didn’t want to open it.  My daughter was almost overwhelmed with excitement at seeing the box and was so happy that she could keep the pretty pink ribbon.

The ribbon was soon forgotten when she had ripped the pink tissue paper off the cushion.  She was thrilled and recognised her name straight away.

The cushion is absolutely beautiful and I would quite like one too.  With the name embroidered in the middle, it has different patchwork squares on the the front embellished with four heart buttons.  On the back are the two smiley faces of the icklebutton logo; Sophie and Jack, also embroidered.

The cushion is incredibly well made and would make a wonderful gift for a baby, a child or even me.  It costs £29.

A has taken it everywhere with her since it arrived and I can see why.  I was lucky enough to have been sent this cushion for the review, but I would have bought one of these and I will definitely be returning to icklbutton again soon, when there are gifts to be bought.  If you visit the  icklebutton website and sign up for their promotional emails, you can also get a rather nice 20% discount off your first order.

Thank you to icklebutton for the beautiful cushion that we were sent to review.  All images and opinions are our own.
