Retro - A blast from the past

When we look back on our youth and remember the 'good times', the music, the food, the clothes, and of course some rather frightening hair styles!

So what are the iconic images of your youth? Well who can forget the modern romantics, chopper bicycles and of course the classic Raleigh Burner BMX.

Never Forget are delighted that we can now supply this iconic image on a range of bags, wallets and cups.

So if your heart strings still pull at the sight of a BMX then a retro bag is a fabulous gift, however this iconic image is not only for the people who remeber it first time around, it is also for those that just love all things retro!

Back to school essentials

Well we are now in the midst of the fabulous summer holidays, but please do not leave it to the last minute for all of those back to school essentials!

Remember, the holidays will fly by and you will wonder where the time went just like your melted ice cream cone.

So be organised, write a list and keep it with you when you are shopping either on-line or at the shops.

If you have little ones that are going to school for the first time, get them involved, help them choose things like PE bags, lunch boxes etc. Remember, you may also be very scared and not want to let them go, but make it fun for both of you.

Some things to help you on your way!

• Uniform - keep the school list with you and shop around, most high street stores will offer deals so make sure you get the best value!



• Shoes - try to leave these till last, it is amazing how much there feet will grow in the summer holidays! Don;t forget pe plimsolls if they are also needed.



• Pencil case and contents.



• PE Kit.



• Book Bags



• Lunch box and beaker (insulated if possible!)



• A pack away rain jacket great in September when it is not cold enough for a winter coat but they may be caught in showers! These are also small enough to fit into there bag.



• Name tags, sew in ones are best remember if they lose a jumper it you have your childs name in it - hopefully it will come back to you.

Above all enjoy this special time and talk to you children about the start of this new adventure!

Design your own baby basket

We all love babies and we all love to wish the lady at work all the very best when she sadly leaves the work-place to go on maternity leave. So we rush around with the collection and the card, what do we buy? Gift vouchers! great idea but sadly does not have the OOOH and AWWWWW factor when you hand over a envelope!

Well we may have just the solution to this tricky problem. Never Forget are proud to announce that we have just added our 'design your own baby basket to our range'. Priced to suit every budget, from £25.00 upto whatever you decide, we will happily make a bespoke baby basket for you and deliver it safely to its final desitination.

So what if the new arrival has not yet arrived? Well fear not, remember those gift vouchers, well we will supply a personalised gift voucher, with examples of what can be ordered complete with pictures of some example baskets. So when the new arrival does make his/her appearance we can tailor make the basket then. However we can make baskets suitable for either a boy or girl, so if you just can;t wait, we will be happy to help.

Dots and Spots and all things girly!

I recently when on one of my latest buying sprees found these gorgeous hot pink bags with lovely pink and white co-ordintatin spotty handles.

Now those that know Never Forget and love our personalised baby baskets will be delighted that we can now offer a smaller gift in these gorgeous bags.

Two of them have gone out today and both with the Name Chloe! Last week we had three baby boy baskets ordered, all with the name Freddie!

Each gift bag shown contains one of our lovley pink teddy satin edged compforters which of course is personalised. If you are not familiar with the concept of a comforter they are given to the Mum to sleep with which then takes on her smells. Then it is used as a comforter for your baby.

We have also added our truly scrunptious girly socks. These really are just too cute and the picture does not do them justice, what is even more fab is the bottom of the socks are personalised with little angel.

The bag is then finished off with a lovely personalised bib.

Please go and view these on the site.
