We are now officially into September, and the start of September signals a few things like the beginning of Autumn, cooler temperatures, darker evenings and returning to school for a new year.


For the past few years none of my immediate family have been of school age, but today my little niece is starting Primary 1 and seems very grown up all of a sudden! After being nervous about going to nursery she couldn't wait to get to school & so must really be ready for it. We'll see how long the novelty lasts! Do you know anyone starting school for the first time - nursery, primary or secondary school?

I'm sure that after about 6-8 weeks of entertaining the children, or paying for extra childcare, many parents welcome the return to school. Others however might feel a tinge of sadness as they send their little ones off into the big world.

BasketsGalore have designed a range of gift baskets especially for children so perhaps you might like to send a back to school gift or a good luck gift for kids. We also have lots of lovely get well gifts for children and birthday gifts for girls and birthday gift baskets for boys. We've even got teenage gift baskets for those maybe starting secondary school.

Gift Baskets for Kids are popular with parents who maybe work away or with grandparents who live in another country. They don't just include sweets either, but books, model toys, jigsaws and puzzles etc to keep them entertained.
