My kids love reading books, in the mornings I tend to find a whole pile of books lying next to their beds that they've looked at (they can't actually read yet) after I've put them to bed. It's a bit of a tradition now that they get to look at books after I (or their Daddy) have read them their bed-time stories...

So books were something I definitely wanted to sell in my shop, ideally personalisable - to go with the rest of our unique collection. To start off with I had a couple of titles from a US company but they were simply too expensive to ship to Europe. It felt like ripping off my customers each time they were ordered. I'm now working with a company that produces personalisable children's books in different languages! All the books in our shop are now available in English (obviously) but also Dutch, German, Spanish, French and Italian.

I'm really pleased with this as we're raising our kids trilingually (English, Dutch and German) and have books in different languages anyway...

The books are a fun gift idea, I even gave one to a friend of mine who recently got married - she may be a bit old for it herself but one day she'll probably have kids who'll enjoy reading a book about their Mummy!
