This Sunday is National Aunties’ Day in the UK!

Launched in conjunction with the release of Judy Moody on DVD, it is a day purely dedicated to celebrating aunties and their unique relationship with nieces and nephews.

Why not show your sister how much you care about them and how much they mean to your little one by encouraging your child to make them a gift?

Homemade gifts are extra special because they require a lot of time and effort and it is a fantastic way to entertain the kids for a couple of hours in the evening. It doesn’t have to cost the earth make a present- grab some coloured paper, pens and glitter and make a personalised card.

Rest assured it will definitely put a smile on her face when she sees that her niece or nephew has made her something. Inspire their creativity and make a flower pot out of half a cut up bottle and decorate it in pretty feathers, paints and bits and bobs. Or you can be a little adventurous and help them make some delightful jewellery sets that include a bracelet and necklace in her favourite colours.

Another gift idea is to don some matching aprons and get baking some delicious cupcakes; or how about a paper weight that she can use at her office?
