No big gift guides this year, I planned to do some before my maternity leave but ran out of time, so instead I just thought I’d share a few ideas of items we’ve either bought, thought about buying or purchased for others! It’s not as chicly laid out as I would’ve liked, more a dumping of ideas from my brain (that’s maternity leave for you!).
We’ve really cut down on gift over the last few years, we now tend to favour more practical gifts for adults (Chris and I usually go halves on something we need for the house – this year it’s bedding!) and then books and hopefully ‘useful’ small items kids will love. We’ll also be donating to Baby Banks instead of presents for our newborn this year.
If you want more ideas, then you can also find all the old Frugality Gift Guides here. This post contains some affiliate links.
Hi Alex, No other way to do this but congratulations to you all on the arrival of your new baby! Look forward to learning more at some stage in the future. Will miss the posts. Let me just say never mind the presentation ( which is fine btw) there are some excellent ideas for presents here so no worries. Have an amazing Christmas all four of you. If this is the team reading this maybe you could pass on good wishes?

Thank you so much (this is Alex, by the way!) and thank you for all your support, always! xx
Hello again Alex,
Hope you and the family are all thriving? Any idea when you will make a comeback as missing your postings etc.
Love from
Tricia M
Those are some of the most amazing gift ideas. Thanks a lot for sharing that!
