    My Mam has them on her wall for me and my brother, and I've got some on my wall for my two boys.

    You can add baby's name, DOB, place of birth, birth weight and the clock shows the time they were born.
    Here I go again on my own....

    Emma is now at maximum order capacity until after Xmas.

    For my sons baptism earlier this year we asked for chairtable donations in his name. There are only so many tacky silver scrolls, hairbrushes, money boxes and bibles that each child needs:p:rolleyes:. I suggest sponsoring a third world child/endangered animal in his name, very much a christian thing to do & in the spirit of the occasion.

    If you really are intent on giving a physical gift then a nice copy of a childrens calssic book is probably the best thing & not too much danger of it being duplicated;)


    The donation is a great idea - I'll do that
