Sometimes there’s a frenzy about the ‘top’ Christmas presents – Hatchimals<\/a> I’m talking to you – and then there’s a great present idea you have all on your own.<\/p>\n

I’ve just taken delivery of that great idea and am really excited to give it as a gift.<\/p>\n

The Present Idea<\/h2>\n

\"Present<\/p>\n

My eldest daughter has a December birthday so I really have to get into gear on the present front at this time of year.<\/p>\n

She mentioned she’d like a copy of The Magic Faraway Tree<\/a>, which they’d been reading at school. I thought this, as part of the series of four, would work as a small Christmas present so looked for the Famous Five series<\/a>, which she isn’t familiar with. I found the first 10 books, sold as a set, for just over \u00a314 and ordered immediately.<\/p>\n

\"Present<\/p>\n

The books arrived promptly and had the lovely retro covers. However, they were just in a bundle wrapped in cellophane. I suppose hardly surprising given the price. I didn’t want to wrap them up to give just as they were so had to think of an alternative.<\/p>\n

It’s all in the Presentation<\/h2>\n

I set about looking for a presentation case, just something simple like proper book box sets come in. I searched for ages and drew a blank. I then had the idea of getting a decorative box to actually put them in, but nothing really seemed to fit the bill. I then thought treasure chest!<\/p>\n

It seemed the perfect idea as it all fit in nicely with the whole adventure theme, and of course it would even contain the book Five on a Treasure Island<\/a>. It is also something that I would have loved at eight year’s old, so I know Sofia will. The chest has arrived today and I actually can’t wait to give this present to her. It even comes with its own lock and key to keep it all secret!<\/p>\n
