Sophie Home Cotton Knit Baby Slipper Socks | Various Animals - Lifestory

Christmas gifts for Kids

Presents that survive being loved, and don't need batteries.

Wooden and cloth toys, picture books and story books, puzzles and games for the flat afternoon between lunch and dark. Socks, slippers and blankets in proper wool and cotton. Teethers and blankets for the very small. The Scandinavian approach to children's things is to make them well enough that they get handed down rather than thrown out, which is worth something whether or not the four-year-old appreciates it.

Also worth a look: gifts for her, for him and for dogs, or stocking fillers. Browse all Christmas gifts. Chosen at our London Street shop in Edinburgh, with fast delivery and gift wrapping available.

What a great online experience

What a great online experience. Lifestory has a huge selection of the item I was interested in purchasing. They wrap the items extremely carefully and include a lovely little, personal note. My order came swiftly and I had great communication on when it as dispatched etc.

Fantastic socks

Fantastic socks. Personally I wear them for dog walking as they have a nice padded sole which is great in my walking trainers. Great to have such a good choice of colours. The boyfriend socks are great for colder weather, whilst the girlfriend socks are cooler for warmer weather. Overall great socks and I love that they have a large cotton content.

MAEGEN Salt & Pepper Grinder in Light Blue & Burgundy - 2 Sizes
Great products and service

Items arrived quickly and beautifully packaged with a lovely hand-written note. The MAEGEN salt & pepper grinders are exactly what I was looking for and feel great quality. Only issue is that the red one is more muted than I expected from the pictures (more of a brick red than bright) but I’ve decided to keep anyway.

Would definitely order from Lifestory again for unique homeware and gifts.
