The problem then is, that if I get them something that I like, preferably wooden or fabric, they think it's boring, or don't understand what it is, so then there's no point. This was emphasised in a present that I got for my niece one year (a loom knitting kit) when I got an answermachine message saying 'thank-you-for-my-present-auntie-Amy-whatever-it-is'.
So this year, due to the success of my superhero masks at recent Christmas markets, and my nephews obsession with spiderman and the fact that he wears his costume as often as he can, I thought it would be a good idea to make them personalised superhero masks and capes.
I thought blue would match my nephews favourite spiderman outfit....
Whilst red is often my nieces favourite colour. I had to, of course, go for spotty linings.
They were VERY pleased with them, and they fitted perfectly!
My niece didn't take hers off all day, which was great as she was the one I thought would be less keen!!
