Unusual Father's Day Facts I have spent the past few months searching for the ideal Father's Day Gifts that can be personalised to stock on my website. It made me start to want to find out a bit more about Father's Day. It didn't surprise me, at all, to learn that Mother's Day started way before Father's Day. Us woman are always doing things first, right? Scholars believe that Father's Day can be traced back to the ruins of Babylon where a young boy carved a Father's Day card nearly 4000 years ago. Modern versions of Father's Day believe that it originated in North America thanks to a woman who believed that if there was a day to honour Mothers...
Personalised Teacher Gifts As the end of another school year is getting closer and closer, the big question for a lot of parents is what should I buy the class teacher as a thank you present? During term time, teachers tend to spend just as much time with children as parents do so it seems only fitting that they are given something really special to show our thanks for all their hard work and commitment. As a Primary Teacher for 17 years, I was always very grateful for any gift that I was given but for me the ones that really stood out and indeed the ones I still have now are the thoughtful, personalised ones. Now as a Mum,...
I was approached at the start of the year asking if I, as owner of CalEli Gifts, would sponsor one of the football teams within Edinburgh South Community Football Club. As my sons are both now actively involved with this club and absolutely love it, there was only one answer and that was "Yes!".

This photo was taken last week of my elder sons 2006 team with their new CalEli Gifts home strips on. They all look so smart and were all more than happy to smile for the photo. The kids and coaches...

AMSTERDAM WITH KIDS I went on holiday to Amsterdam last week with my family. I was slightly nervous that there were certain parts of Amsterdam that I didn't want my children to see or more importantly didn't want those awkward questions from them that might come after seeing certain things. However, I didn't have to worry there was just so much to do with kids that we saw an amazing, family friendly city. I would definitely recommend buying the I AMSTERDAM CARD. You pay for it upfront and it gets you into most of the museums, the public transport and a canal cruise. It saved us hundreds of Euros and allowed us to pop into some attractions that perhaps we might...
