In my early days in Singapore, we hardly ever celebrated Father’s Day as my dad was always working until late and it was not as highly marketed by shops, or promoted by schools. Ever since I started to work, I realised that what my father did to provide for our family of five plus his own mother was a very hard life. I had never had the chance to show my appreciation to him at all as he has already passed away.
Now I am glad to have this opportunity to make something together with my children to show our appreciation to my husband. Baker Ross has just launched a new range of Father’s Day craft ideas. I have received the Toolbox Photo Frame kit, Father’s Day Bookmark kit, Car Wooden Desk Tidy kit, Father’s Day Car Card and Father’s Day Foam Stickers. These are our 5 homemade gift ideas!
Can you believe that next Sunday is Mother’s Day! Hope you have thought of getting something for her soon. If not, take a look at my gift guide that I have and will review.

Mr C is a huge fan of Star Wars. When he saw this dressing gown, he was delighted – he couldn’t wait to unleash the force. Mr K was so jealous of his dad. He wants to be a Jedi too.This dressing gown resembles Obi Wan’s cloak from the legendary films, and any aspiring Jedi Knight will love it. It is well made with fine attention to detail. The material is 100% polyester fleece. It has two pockets, embroidered Jedi logo on the left side, large hood and big bell sleeves. It also comes with a sash belt. It is 146cm long that will fit adults size Medium to X Large. Mr C is 5 foot 4 (163cm) and the length of the rode touches on his toes. It is too big for him but it will keep him very warm and cosy with the fleece material. As it is made from fleece, it is bound to cause static. Besides being carefully of his light sabre, he needs to be careful he doesn’t get zapped by the static as it can be painful!
Do your children believe in fairies? Do you still make an effort to tell them fairy tales and magical kingdoms? My little Ms C was thrilled when she saw this beautiful Miss Alice The Tooth Fairy.

She came in an individually themed stunning gift box that doubles as a cute bed to tuck Sleepover Fairy up at bedtime.
