One of the many things I love about being a blogger is finding out about brands, companies or shops that I haven't heard of before. When it comes to buying presents I do like to find unique and special presents and I spend lots of time browsing through google especially around Christmas and birthdays.
I recently came across The Natural History Museum Shop online and if I am honest at first it didn't appeal to me mainly because the ages of my monkeys. I honestly didn't think there would be anything for them but I was so wrong. It just goes to show that you should never judge a shop by its title.
The online shop is huge with categories such as souvenirs, home, clothes, accessories, books and even jewellery. I actually browsed through the jewellery for myself and some of the pieces are beautiful.
The personalised T-shirts collection caught my eye, I am a sucker for all things personalised. I think they make an ordinary gift so special.
The long sleeved blue striped Diplodocus tee instantly appealed to me for little J because of the colours. He really suits this type of blue and as winter is coming long sleeved t-shirts are a must.
The personalised part of the t-shirt is so cute.
First you choose the size - currently ranging from 1.5-2yrs up to 7-8 years.
Then you enter your child's name.
Your child's year of birth.
Then you choose a dino suffix SAURUS or OSAURUS
When your personalisation is created it will look like the t-shirt in the photo above. We chose to create an OSAURUS personalisation as it fitted better with little J's name.
The t-shirt is made of 100% cotton and machine washable. Due to the printing on the t-shirt you need to iron on the reverse.
The quality of the t-shirt is lovely although little J hasn't been able to wear it yet as I accidentally ordered the wrong size. Although little J is only 30 months his top half is longer than his bottom so we always buy 3-4 years although in some shops he is 4-5 years old in jumpers and t-shirts. As there was no 4-5 years I ordered 5-6 years old which I now know was a mistake as its too big.
I have put it safely in his wardrobe and hopefully he will be able to wear it sooner rather than later. I am unable to return as its personalised and no returns are accepted unless faulty which is understandable.

What We Loved
It's personalised
The colours of the t-shirt are so bold and will suit little J.
Long sleeved option perfect for autumn and winter days
100% cotton
What Could Improve
It would be nice to have some girly colours because I know lots of little girls who like dinosaurs and would love this. I'm not sure blue or grey would appeal to all girls.
