Auntie Buys : Aunties Little Princess Bib

So this is my second of my new series of "Auntie Buys" and the first one is HERE. It is just abit of fun and I rather enjoy buying my Nieces lots of gifts so I thought I would share. This one is something which is more of a sentimental rather than a "serious" gift but when I saw it I just had to purchased. It is this amazing Bib that says "Auntie's Little Princess" and doesn't she look so bloody adorable wearing it. 

I got this from eBay aka my favorite online shop.. This was a bidding item so I can't actually remember how much I paid but it was no more than £5. Here is the link to the Bib.

Bella Mai is my little princess. She is such a happy smiley laid back beautiful baby. Back to the Bib, it is actually good quality as usually novelty gifts like this are usually not that good in quality but this is good for the price. Have anyone else brought anything similar? I am tempted to buy Bella an Vest saying " I love my auntie Katie" from eBay haha.

Auntie Buys : Daddy's Little Helper

I thought I would start this little series called "Auntie Buys". As a Auntie of two beautiful girls I love nothing more than buying them stuff and treating them. They are not spoiled and Ava always says thank you and is so appreciated whenever she gets gifts. As I don't live near them, I do buy stuff if I go out and see something I know they will like so when I go to Essex it may seem like I have brought them loads but stuff does build up over time. Beth & Tommy are always thankful and I will mostly ask Beth before purchasing whether the girls need/want or would like so the stuff I get is never wasted and I always try to buy stuff that they actually need and I like to help Tommy and Beth out so I do ask every month if there is anything that they are going to buy so that I can either get it for them or put money towards. I do have abit of a problem with buying Converses and Cath Kidston for myself and the girls but that another post!

So the first item of this little series is a "Hi Vis Kids Helper Vest"  which I brought HERE for £3.79. This was a little jokey gift which I knew Ava would love because Tommy is a Plumber and Ava loves helping him around the house at weekends. 

I do love buying little things like this that to us adults don't think are much special but kids love. Ava put this on straight away and loves it. So here is my first "Auntie Buys" post and I shall be doing much more of these because I'm slightly obsessed haha. I cannot wait for Bella to walk so I can buy her Converses haha!!!

Halloween - Ava's Costume!!!

As most of you know Halloween is coming up, this Friday to be exact. Its that time of year where children get  excited and want to dress up as something scary and do the trick or treat tradition. Those children who are old enough to decide what they want to be have their costumes planned for months or have a good idea as to what scary 'persona' they want to become for this one night. As a mum I love this time of year, I enjoy getting my little girl Ava involved in the tradition. She is more knowing this year, yes. She can tell you what a pumpkin is and that the costumes are scary, but she cant let me know what she wants to 'be' so that decision fell in my hands. As the time of year is cold I don't like to put on these witch costumes you can purchase from a supermarket as they are not weather suited, so I took on the task of searching online. After a week of debating we decided on Ava being a ghost, something that is actually less common! On Ebay I went and I found the perfect costume in Ava's size! I set out bidding and won!. This little number shown in the photo above cost me £5.45 incl P&P. All I have to do is team it with white tights and white t shirt which we already have and we are away! We are also going to put some fake blood on the tights and some white face paint on Ava:). 

I hope this quick little post has helped those of you who cant decide what spooky character your child should go as at Halloween. 

We cant find the exact costume, but you will find one similar here. 

Lots Of Love

Beth...xxx
