Although children are really easy to buy gifts for, I have come across some wonderful goodies for children that will make great gifts. Many of these have been hand crafted by UK crafters or supplied by small UK businesses. Whether you are buying a gift for a child's birthday or a Christmas gift, I am sure you will find something suitable (and unusual) from these talented crafters.
