Very pretty bag and love that the personalisation is embroidery and not a “sticker”. Only issue is that a few threads have already come out of the backpack and the name embroidery (this was visible from first opening the box and we haven’t yet used the bag as is for nursery so still stored in the box) so definitely wouldn’t purchase again for the price.

Service and delivery very good, happy with rewards scheme and discounts received after purchase - however disappointed with product (Wooden Pastel Xylophone). The xylophone isn’t tuned at all so is effectively just for display - in fact some of the smaller pegs are lower pitch than larger pegs which is completely counterintuitive. Obviously I’m not expecting my newborn to become Beethoven using a wooden xylophone - however I was intending the product to be an educational toy and was looking forward to playing simple tunes with my baby which unfortunately won’t be the case, this is a real shame for almost £30. Looks-wise it is lovely and it’s a nice decoration, but you do wonder how much extra effort it would have been to get the pegs roughly tuned to a major scale so it could be used

Hi, thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review. We’re pleased you were happy with our service, delivery, and rewards scheme, but we’re very sorry the xylophone didn’t meet your expectations for playability. Your comments about tuning and scale are valuable, and we’ll share them with our product development team to explore possible improvements in future designs. We’re glad you liked the look of it, but we appreciate you letting us know where we can do better. Best regards, Aleksandra, Management Team, My 1st Years

Purchased this as a gift and unfortunately the gift box was damaged. It was also sealed to I was unable to look at the item before gifting it. The recipient was happy with the gift and it looked nice when we saw them open it.

I recently bought a number of products, which I believe are very nice but I paid for next day delivery and they arrived 3 days later. Normally that wouldn’t be a problem but I wanted them specifically for my granddaughter who was starting at a new nursery and needed a packed lunch/ box so it was disappointing that they arrived late. Having said that the company did give me a £15 credit.

I love the jewellery box I ordered. It is pretty, well made and perfect for a little girls christening present. However I was disappointed that both the box the jewellery box was packed in and the personalised gift box I purchased arrived damaged. As this was bought as a gift it rather spoiled it.

Although the box itself is very nice I was very disappointed with the size of it for the price ! For that price I was expecting it to be a lot bigger you can’t fit much into it.

The Bunny itself is lovely, however I was a little disappointed that the personalised name was just stuck on and not embroidered.

Hi, thanks so much for your feedback. We're really glad you love the bunny! We completely understand your point about the personalisation. Embroidery is a lovely option, but unfortunately, we’re unable to use it on the bunny as the stitching would show through on the reverse side of the ear. Instead, we use a high-quality flocking method that’s durable, long-lasting, and designed to stay looking great over time. We really appreciate your support and understanding!

Looks great. Well made and looks to be good quality. Smaller than expected though. A present for my granddaughter’s first birthday, so she can take her favourite toy to nursery

The personalisation on the blanket was not very obvious as the colours were not contrast enough. The personalisation on the backpack overlapped with the pattern making it hard to read

I have recently purchased one of your gift kits from the website, including a towel, a bunny, and a blanket, all personalised with my friend’s baby’s name. I would like to start by saying that the products themselves are lovely—soft, beautifully made, and clearly of high quality. I’m very happy with the materials and overall finish. However, I did notice that the embroidered names on each item use completely different fonts. Unfortunately, this makes the set look a bit mismatched rather than like a cohesive, personalised kit. I had assumed the embroidery would follow the same style across all the items, and I believe this would have made the gift feel much more special and consistent. I just wanted to share this feedback as a suggestion for the future, in case it’s possible to offer matching fonts for kits like these. I would definitely consider purchasing again if this option were available.

Please keep it lovely, it appears to be going downhill. You,re trying to bring in cheap goods eg safari music box should have been 44 pounds for proper musical box that opens. You cannot buy this anywhere else. Instead I paid budget 24 pounds for something not suitable as a christening present.

Products are always fantastic… I order presents very frequently. Normally great service but on this occasion my order has not arrived. It has been delayed with their 3rd Party Courier on multiple stages of the delivery cycle and is still not out for delivery… which is disappointing given my order was over 10 days ago (on the standard 5 day delivery service).
