The #1 thing I miss the most in America: my niece, Alice. As an overseas auntie, I feel that it is my duty to spoil her absolutely rotten. Alice’s first birthday is coming up in April and I have been shopping around for the perfect gifts. Guideposts has helped! Guideposts is a small gift shop, but coolness level of the shop makes up for the small size. The shop has a great selection of baby clothes and soft toys, all extremely cute and very unique – I’ve never seen stuff like it anywhere else. The soft toys are fun colours and cool designs; I saw a patchwork butterfly wall hanging and a stripey velour horse with extra long legs. Adorable! Aside from the baby merch, there’s cards, giftwrap, holiday décor and goodies for the bath. The prices are fairly high, but worth it to spoil someone you love. With Mother’s Day around the corner, I may be back here shopping again soon!
