Gifting with Heart
Christmas shopping for little ones can feel overwhelming. There are so many flashing, beeping, battery-powered options out there that it is easy to forget the simple joy of a really good book. If you are looking for gifts that spark imagination and actually get used, you have come to the right place.
I have put together a guide to my favourite Black Cat Publications products for Christmas. These are gifts that get read, re-read, stuck on walls and treasured. No batteries required.
For the Tiny Bookworms (Ages 2-4)
The Guess, Boo! series is perfect for this age group. Each book is a rhyming guessing game that little ones absolutely love. They get to shout out the answers, and the interactive format keeps them engaged from start to finish. The collection set makes a gorgeous gift because it gives you multiple books in one beautifully presented package.
If you want something they can really get stuck into, the colouring books are a lovely addition. Bold, simple designs that are perfect for little hands just learning to hold a crayon.
For the Growing Readers (Ages 4-7)
Ruggi the Messy Monster is brilliant for children who are starting to enjoy longer stories. The rhyming text is fun to read aloud, and the character is so loveable that children want to hear about him again and again.
Pair a book with one of our poster prints for a gift that really feels special. A favourite character on the bedroom wall is the kind of thing children remember for years.
For the Grown-Ups Who Love a Good Print
Let us be honest, our poster prints are not just for children. The bold colours and playful illustrations look brilliant in kitchens, hallways and home offices too. If you know someone who loves colourful, original artwork, a print and a frame make a thoughtful and affordable gift.
Our greetings cards are also perfect for stocking fillers or as an extra touch on a wrapped present.
Stocking Fillers Under a Fiver
Looking for something small but lovely? Our greetings cards and coasters make perfect stocking fillers. They are affordable, original and always get a smile. The disco cat coaster is a personal favourite.
Order in Time for Christmas
If you are shopping from our Etsy store, do check the last posting dates to make sure everything arrives in time. I always recommend ordering by mid-December to be safe, but I will post specific cutoff dates on our social media pages.
Whatever you choose, you are giving a gift that was made with real love and care. And that is what Christmas is all about, really.
