Pressie ideas for mum needed - from a 2 year old

I would love it if my husband got me something from the website below off my little girl. They will make your childs drawings etc into jewellery !

The only things I liked off my kids at that age was something they helped to make. The pamper day was a nice idea , but it wasn't really something the child thought of or paid for was it, so it was really from the husband to his wife.

A pressie that would take five minutes time to make with the child is a handprint (of the child obviously :rolleyes: ) with this poem (or another like it from HERE)

Print the poem off, stick on a handprint, frame it and you're done.

Just read the poems and it made me cry, daft i know but my wee boy is 2 now and growing so fast

I was nearly in bits earlier today just looking at the school trousers hanging on the line: all nearly as long as their father's hanging beside them.

i have a 2 year old and i was given a card that he had helped make, a plant for the garden that would grow with him and a really nice framed photo of my fave 2 year old boy ... no money in the world could have bought me anything that i would have loved more than that....god I love my baby ... could just eat him.

yes i'm soppy too, i was at my gran's today and i saw the handprint pic with poem my little boy did at nursery when he was 2, he gave it to her for her 85th and i went all tearful lol! he was such an adorable 2 year old :-)

I got a similar poem & OH got one about footsteps for mum & dad's days & I wibble every time I see them. Other things I'd love from my 2 year-old are - one of her works of art in a frame, breakfast in bed, buy a plain iced cake & let her decorate it, a recording of her singing (perhaps I should print this thread off in a month's time & leave it in a prominent place!) There's definitely lots of scope for money-saving pressies from toddlers as I would much rather have something small that she'd had a hand in making (which leaves plenty scope for daddy to spoil me rotten lol!)

definitely let the child decorate a cake.
My daughter chose me a dress for xmas, she's 7 yo. It's red and cut so low I have to stick myself into it with that boob tape! Kids choose the coolest things, often the most unexpected.
