Last month saw the launch of our brand new create-your-own baby gift basket website. It’s something that we’ve been talking about doing for years, as our last baby gifts website was getting a bit tired and worn out looking.
So we were all very excited when it launched after several months of design, and even more months of work going on behind the scenes.
We decided we wanted to do something a little bit different with this website. We wanted to make it more personal, as most of our customers are regulars that come back again and again - and we thought it would be to try to offer something more than just a shopping experience. Hence this blog, and the videos we’re planning and currently in production.
In the spirit of creating-your-own I decided that I was going to forgo the use of professional photography, and use my own baby as a model for the front cover of the website. All I was after was 1 simple photo of Annabel sitting in one of our baskets looking cute.
Hah – easier said than done! Annabel thought it was a fantastic game - as you can see from the photos. We spent all our time trying to keep her in the basket, and all she wanted to do was climb back out again. The result was loads of blurred photos that couldn’t be used. But hey Annabel had a great time playing with all the toys we tried in vain to distract her with – and we had a great time laughing at how easy we thought it was going to be.
So I’m afraid it’s back to the professional photography again – even though the babies aren’t anywhere near as cute – or is that such a biased Mummy’s opinion!
