Christmas Showcase

Leading up to Christmas so many of the businesses in the Life’s Little Celebration’s children’s party directory have such fantastic items on offer!

I wanted to find a way to share these all in one place for my facebook followers/blog readers to view! So I created the CHRISTMAS SHOWCASE ALBUM on my facebook page.

In the one album you can browse; Christmas decorations, printables, gifts, desserts and more! Everything you need whether you are planning a special Christmas party or just need some fun printables to use for classmate/workmate gifts or letters for Santa!

 

 

 

I hope you’ll make time to browse the showcase as there are so many wonderful Christmas items available and it will definitely give you some ideas of things you can prepare for Christmas time!

Thank you so much to all the vendors from the children’s party directory who contributed something for the showcase.

 

 

 

 

Fathers Day printables

Fathers Day is coming up on September 1st this year and I thought it would be helpful to do a round up of some fantastic printables for Fathers Day.

What I love about these printables is that they are not necessarily just for styling a detailed celebration or dessert table!

There are coffee cup and beer bottle wrappers, gift tags, fathers day cards, breakfast menu cards, door knob signs and more!

You can get the kids involved in cutting, pasting, wrapping etc (if you’re lucky!) and make a small gift or meal into something extra special.

There are lots of different colour schemes & looks to choose from as well.

Enjoy browsing and finding something perfect for Fathers Day!:

Mother’s Day Printable Ideas

Now that Easter is over some of you may be turning your attention to Mothers Day!

So here is a collection of printables I’ve found to help you get started (some of which are free) for planning a celebration! Some ideas for what you could plan:

– An afternoon tea with a small group of fellow mum’s during the week

– A luncheon with your own mother/mother in law/grandmother or other motherly role models in your life

– A breakfast for yourself and the family and involve the kids during the week in cutting and preparing the printables

– Spoil a new mother or a mother going through a difficult time with a special meal or mini dessert spread!

– Have your kids bake some cupcakes for their aunties and Grandmothers and prepare the printables with them to present with the special treats

Whatever you choose to do, I hope that Mother’s Day will be a day where you are celebrated and you can also celebrate this amazing gift of being a mother!

Printables:

 

 

Love the uniqueness of the chalkboard look!

 

 

 

This breakfast collection is a fun one for the kid’s to prepare:

 

 

 

I’d love to hear if you are planning something special for Mother’s Day…

 

 

Easter Celebration

With Easter around the corner I thought I would put together a few selections of some Easter items for those of you wanting to put together something special for Easter.

Easter is a great time to do some fun crafts with your children and make some special decorations and items for around the house – or perhaps a time you enjoy making ‘Easter’ related craft items yourself.

So these ideas are just something extra to go on top of that, or are for those craft-challenged mums (like me!) or perhaps time-poor mum’s who want something simple and easy they can buy to add something special to their Easter celebration.

Of course there are lots of lovely things at the shops as well and I particularly love the collection in ‘Bed, bath n Table’! However I know the convenience which online shopping can bring in planning your celebrations, so I hope this collections helps!

Decorations

Of course there are lots of lanterns, pom poms etc you can use in your chosen Easter colours so I have not gone overboard in showcasing these items.

However I did want to show off these gorgeous Easter buntings (available in a few different colours/patterns):

 

Also this cute bunny garland in natural colours is a subtle decoration item:

Sweet Treats

Well of course the main sweet treat for Easter are Easter eggs but I just couldn’t go past included these cute lollipops I came across!

 

Special Items

This small wicker basket is perfect for an easter egg hunt!

 

These make cute decorating items!

 

 

 

 

 

A few special gifts for the little ones:

 

 

 

 

 

 

And perhaps a special gift for yourself! =)

 

Favours

Some cute items to fill with eggs or other sweets for the kids:

 

 

 

These scallop boxes are great to dress up as a “nest” – add a little chicken popping out at the front and it will be a great Easter favour gift box to fill with treats:

 

Finish off with a sweet Easter tag:

 

I hope you’ve found some Easter inspiration to make your Easter extra special for your kids in the midst of celebrating the true meaning of Easter!
