Party Bag gifts, Top Party Tips & The Gruffalo

I love kids parties... and with 3 children we've had quite a few over the last 10 years!  


Our first 'School Party' was at a local Kid's Theatre watching The Gruffalo. The kids loved it and having the entertainment laid on is always a good move, particularly when you're dealing with a class of hyper 5 year old boys. 

Having said that, the Stage production of The Gruffalo at Camp Bestival this year was fantastic. The kids and the adults were mesmerised. (Watch it here )


Over the years, we've had Clown Parties, Football parties, Bowling Parties & Fairy parties to name a few...

Entertaining the children yourself can be fun if the children are slightly older. Craft parties - particularly for girls - are great but for younger children or slightly older party-hardened kids, it can be hard work.

Try www.partyparade.co.uk for craft ideas

  
And then there's Pinatas... such a choice now. Even life-sized animals! 
The kids love them and they look great. However, the kids do need to be supervised to avoid them hitting one another by mistake!


The last thing to consider is Party Bag gifts. With a little planning you can avoid the plastic bits & bobs that only ever end up in the bin. 

Personally, I love Handmade Party Bag Gifts and at Monkeys from Heaven we make quite a few:  







Have fun at your Parties!!

Girls Summer Dresses, Gifts & News from Monkeys from Heaven UK


It's an exciting time for us at the moment. We are fast expanding to market our Range on other sites online and have been accepted as a Children's Clothing & Gifts brand at a www.WowThankYou.co.uk, a fabulous Gift site which has just launched.  Their site is a godsend to us busy folk who love buying unique handmade items for friends and family but simply don't have the time to traipse the shops! Their Gift Finder actually works! Go take a look, support UK Handmade brands and please bear them in mind for future gifts. 

With Summer fast approaching we are still busy putting together a Children's Summer Range. If you are a Facebook Fan of ours, you will already know that we have launched a selection of Girls' Summer Dresses, Ribbon-Tie Dresses and a fabulous Limited Edition Special Occassion Dress. And for Boutique style Handmade dresses, they're priced very reasonably too - from just £16.50!


We are using some beautiful fabrics this summer. Our 'Indian Summer' Special Occassion dress is simply exquisite. With metallic threads and silk detailing, the fabric is incredibly sophisticated for a little girl; although the dress style is classically timeless. Some Mums have even asked if we can make Adult versions! We have chosen some funkier fabrics too - ice cream sundae prints, ladybirds and beautiful butterflies, spanning Pinks, Blues and Greens.


All dresses are available for 1-8yrs and Handmade to Order. If your order is urgent, as always, please let us know as we will do our very best to accommodate.


Have you seen our Party Sundae Skirt yet? Another recent addition to our range and great fun for Parties and Birthday presents. You simply won't find anything like it on the High Street.

And talking of Gifts, we have a great range of items for Babies, Toddlers, Girls and for Boys watch this space. There are some excellent creations in the pipeline... We do offer a Gift Wrapping service so please do remember to let us know if your purchase is intended as a gift.



Well, we had better get back to designing some more Summer Wear. This week, we're focussing on Hobby Horses and WaistJackets. Huh hmm....


Love, ♥Monkeys from Heaven♥
