Grimm's Rainbow
Is it a toy, is it a work of art? The Grimm's Rainbows are many things, but
most of all they are beautiful. The rainbows come in a variety of sizes and
colours, but they are all individually carved from a single piece of wood.
Great for encouraging creative play in children and adults alike, no one seems
able to walk past mine without touching it. These rainbows make a perfect
present for any age, pictured is the
large Grimm's rainbow.

Rainbow Science Gifts
With these gifts for children they can make their own rainbows, the
(AL) Rainbow Lab from Galt
is suitable for 5 years upwards. If they're not big into science but you
still want to give them an educational gift, you can make a custom rainbow
photo puzzle at
MakeYourPuzzles.
Rainbow Toys
If you want to buy a rainbow gift for a younger child then how about a
(AL) Rainbow Aquadoodle and suitable for age 18 months plus, they are a fun way of using just
water to create temporary art or a (AL) Cheer Care Bear
plush toy with a rainbow on it's tummy suitable suitable for age 2 years up
Sticky Notes from Mustard
A little pack of (AL) sticky note paper in a rainbow
which can even stand up on a desk, these are a lovely way to bring a bit of
colour and rainbow love to an office space and it will be loved by teenagers
too.
Rainbow Neon Crayon
An easy way to make rainbows with this
crayon, lots of fun for toddlers to make rainbow patterns on paper.
Rainbow Jewellery
Etsy has a selection of beautiful rainbow jewellery from small businesses including: this (AL) "Storms don't last forever" rainbow pin badge and this (AL) handmade acrylic rainbow necklace.Rainbow Cake from The Hummingbird Bakery
The Hummingbird Bakery
make the nicest sponge cakes I think I have ever tasted. Their rainbow cakes
are beautiful as well as delicious and will make a lovely present for cake
lovers. They come in a range of sizes starting at £30.95 for a 6 inch cake,
and while they aren’t cheap they aren’t a cake you forget in a hurry. Most
excitingly (for me anyway) they now make Vegan/ Dairy free cakes so I can
happily enjoy their cakes. You can order the cake to collect from any of the
Hummingbird Bakery stores (there a 6 in London) for a delicious rainbow gift.

Unicorn Rainbow Poop by Emma Adams from Scholastic
A picture book makes a lovely present for young children and this new book
(AL) Unicorn and the Rainbow Poop
from Scholastic will make a lovely addition to any book collection. It's a
slightly silly story about a special Unicorn visitor who was a little bit shy,
but discovers friendship and acceptance. I love the beautiful bright pictures
and my youngest asked for it to be read 3 times on the first read through.
Rainbow Story Stones
Story stones are a lovely way to encourage children to create stories or to explore ideas. My Story Stones Rock are a beautiful example and they (AL) sell a set of weather related ones and (AL) magical mythical story stones on Etsy, both of which include a rainbow stone.

Rainbow Clothes
Rainbows on both children’s and adults clothes are really popular at the
moment. Two of my favourite brands for rainbow clothing are Frugi and Toby Tiger.
My Very Own Rainbow from Brainstorm
Who doesn’t want a rainbow in their bedroom? This (AL) rainbow light projector from Brainstorm
creates a temporary rainbow on the bedroom wall which will last just long
enough for little ones to fall asleep. We've had this light for a few years
and I love it.
Rainbow Cushion
Another idea to bring rainbows into your interiors is this (AL) rainbow scatter cushion in bold colours for a different way to include a rainbow theme.
Rainbow Glitter Pens
If you want a rainbow themed gift that is practical and beautiful what about
these (AL) Pentel Hybrid Dual Metallic Gel Pens
are beautiful. The gel pens are lovely to write with and have a subtle glitter
in the ink too which is a slightly different colour. Perfect to ensure anything they write makes them happy.
Rainbow Umbrellas
Rainbows inevitably mean rain so a rainbow umbrella seems like a perfect
reminder that everything will be ok. These children’s umbrellas come from the
Mountain Warehouse, but there are lots of designs around for adults too
including this (AL) compact design
and this (AL) beautiful one
divided into 24 colours variations.
Rainbow Swaddle
If you are buying a present for a rainbow baby then this rainbow chevron giant
swaddle is beautiful. The giant muslin can be used for comfort, cleaning up
and play as well as swaddling making it a practical as well as beautiful gift.
I hope these gifts have provided you with some inspiration, please let me know
if you see anything else which would make a perfect gift. I love rainbows.

Some lovely ideas here :) This baby is going to be dressed in rainbows clothes almost daily I think! That cake looks incredible... You can't beat the Hummingbird Bakery xx
ReplyDeleteThere are so many lovely rainbow clothes out there at the moment (both chain and independents), I wish I could afford to buy them all x
DeleteSome lovely ideas, I love the rug! I made my eldest a rainbow cake last year and it turned out great! x
ReplyDeleteI've heard they can be brilliant if you get the right food colouring, I can't seem to make my sponge as light as the Hummingbird Bakery though.
DeleteMy youngest daughter loves rainbows! I’ve just decorated her room in a rainbow theme. Some of these would go perfect in her room
