Beatrix Potter Gift Ideas
| Beatrix Potter was a great supporter of the National Trust. When she died in 1943, she left 15 farms and over 4,000 acres of land to the National Trust. And Hill Top Farm was kept exactly as it had been when she lived in it - as she wanted. Thousands of people visit every year. There are some great gift ideas for fans of Beatrix Potter. I remember reading the books as a small child with my mother and she still smiles as she recalls how I used to chuckle throughout each book. |
 | How about a calender for 2025? |
 | There are a number of Peter Rabbit calendars, organisers and diaries available from the Calendar Club, starting at £5.00 for the slim calendar. There's a family organiser, with columns for each member of the family so that you can see what everyone is doing when at a glance, there's an organiser diary which has space for you to put your goals in and to make notes and a Things to do List (those three items are at the back of the organiser), and also a calendar and diary. They've also got a magnetic slim calendar (that's a week to view with a notes section at the bottom) which you can stick on the fridge or any other metallic surface. Hop off to have a look here. |
