Forever Freinds Christmas Gift Collection.

Forever Friends will never let you down if you are shopping for gifts for babies, young children or even teenagers. First created in 1987, this company is now one of the most well known companies producing a host of items ranging from baby gifts to cute sentimental keepsakes adorned with the little Forever Friends Bears.

The Christmas 2013 range is beautiful. Excuse the pun, but Forever Friends are ‘forever’ updating their image and their products. They also produce a great magazine and have a terrific website for children.

I have been lucky enough to try a selection of the newer items and have mu children’s stockings filled nicely to the brim with lots of Forever Friends goodies.

My 10 year old daughter has the travel mug. This is just gorgeous, a beautifully decorated pink mug with a sip cap to prevent spillages. I have yet to find a product like this – most travel mugs are designed for adults and are rather boring. This one is so nice, I quite fancy it myself for taking to work. The size is also perfect – not too thick so it fits in the cup holder in the car. A very well thought out product that would also make an excellent birthday gift as well as a stocking filler.

Have a look at www.foreverfriendsonline.com  This is an excellent website to introduce your children to. They have a ‘kidz zone’, a ‘community’ and a ‘news’ section so you can keep updated with new products and themes. I was not aware of Forever Friends books, but was so impressed with the selection and the beautiful Christmas books available also, another great idea as a stocking filler.

On the website you will also find accessories ranging from bags, lunchboxes, diaries and sticker sheets. These are great value and very popular. I have used these stickers (RRP 99p) at my children’s parties, adding them to party bags along with a Forever Friends key-ring. These adorable images are always well received.

I simply have to mention my favourite Forever Friends item – the iconic plush bear. I have gave numerous amounts of these as baby gifts, along with the little comforters. They come with a pink or blue trim/ribbon and are simply the softest teddy bears ever. The bears are 8” tall and their lovely smiley faces and very huggable fur make these bears very hard to set down. RRP £10

The Forever Friends Baby Comforter is also £10 and another great gift for a baby at birth and at Christmas. This is a beautiful boxed set which includes a Forever friends little bear holding a comfort blanket. It is available with the blanket trimmed in blue or pink. I never quite ‘caught on’ to a comforter until I had children and seen how much they loved these cute and extremely soft blankets with a teddy attached. All my children had one and it’s only when I look at baby photos, and the comforters are present in almost every photo, do I realise just how loved these were.

We can also adorn our Christmas Trees with beautiful Forever Friends baubles. Whether you choose ‘Babies first Christmas’ or ‘A Special Christmas Wish’, these will look great on your tree and perfect as a special ‘first Christmas’ gift.
