Hop to it…last minute Easter finds featuring Peter Rabbit

  

Once upon a time there were four little Rabbits, and their names were Flopsy, Mopsy, Cotton-tail and Peter…

And, Peter Rabbit is the most iconic one of all. 

In fact for over 100 years children and adults imaginations have been captivated by this little bunny and his woodland friends – and this year marks the 150th birthday of author Beatrix Potter.

To celebrate there is, of course many themed pieces hitting the stores and none I love more than the Mothercare collection – which I first mentioned here.

The mainly unisex range features delicate embroidery and illustrations based on Beatrix’s original sketches.

For some, me included – Peter Rabbit pieces can be a bit twee – but this range is stylish and nostalgic and just perfect for newborns. There is also nursery items, gifts and silver pieces.

For some last minute Easter treats (or even a new baby gift) I’ve selected 15 of my favourite Peter Rabbit buys – along with the usual soft toys, table wear and collectibles – some of these times can be treasured and passed down too.
