First Holy Communion Favours

In recent years, Communion favours have become very popular. Holy Communion is fundamentally a religious sacrament, but it is also a family day of celebration. A day when the entire family dress up and celebrate in your child’s spiritual journey. Our Holy Communion favours are a little keepsake of this special day and a small way to say thank you to your guests. Here at www.bbbonbon.ie we have Holy Communion favours for boys, First Communion favours for girls, Prayer book favours, Communion favour cakes, Holy Communion favour boxes, First Communion tulle favours and lots more.
Each favour is filled with five pieces of confectionery the most popular and traditional are sugared almonds and chocolate dragees. The five sweets are symbolic they represent Health, Wealth, Longevity, Fertility and Happiness.
All our Communion favours are personalised, we use a little white card with your child’s details, for example:
Ruby Ahern
First Holy Communion
15th May 2010
Thank you from Ruby.
I hope you enjoy my little gift and
these five sweets which represent: Health
Wealth, Longevity, Fertility and Happiness.

We can also add words of your choice.
The giving of Communion favours to your friends and relatives, provides them with a little memento to cherish long after your Communion day is over.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact us at info@bbbonbon.ie

Expectant Mother & Baby Hospital Bag Checklist:

How time flies by, 7 months ago you thought this time would never come! It has and now you must prepare for the birth and home coming of your new baby. Exciting or what, the memories are flooding back to me.
It’s one of those things we get very excited about, packing for the hospital birth. For my last baby, my daughters packed the baby’s hospital bag, it was pink and we did not know the sex of our new pending baby!!! I gave birth to a little girl, but it didn’t matter what colour the baby was, what matters is that you make your other children excited and involved in the preparation of their new sibling. This is as important as the preparation of the hospital bag, in itself.
Whatever you do pack, don’t take everything and the kitchen sink, because it is likely that the midwives will ask your partner to take it back home again.
Keep in mind though that you might need to stay for a longer period, if you have a caesarean section or if baby needs supervision after birth. But, then again, that’s what family and partners are for: to bring you more things if you need them after birth.
• A long T-shirt or front-opening nightdress, dressing gown and slippers;
• Drinks and snacks for you and your partner;
• Labour supplies for example Tens machine, massage oil, aromatherapy candles, whatever you intend to use, I didn’t personally use any of these products
• Underwear and maternity pads,
• If breast feeding, maternity bra & breast pads
• Toiletries Bag including shampoo, conditioner, hair brush, tooth brush, tooth paste,
• Make-up bag
• Coming home outfit for the baby, including little hat
• One blanket, thickness depending on the time of year
• Nappies For Newborn
• Wipes
• 3 baby grows
• 5 baby vest
• If not breast feeding, hospitals generally provide readymade baby formula
• Maternity clothes to go home in (your tummy doesn’t magically disappear after delivery-maternity clothes will be the most comfortable to travel home in)
• Purse
• Mobile phone, plus charger
• Camera/Camcorder
• Photo of other children at home, it will comfort them when they see it on our dresser when they come to visit their new brother/sister.
• Hand sanitizer (for visitors and you)
• Hospital paperwork required for check in

Now just sit back, relax, and allow everyone to pamper you while you wait for your new baby to arrive.

Once your little bundle of joy has finally arrived, everything in the house will now be pink or blue and won’t you love it! Well there is more, pink, blue and what have you, presented at www.bbbonbon.ie in the shape of christening and baptism favours. Your guests will be delighted in receiving delicate little christening and baptism favour gifts, a thank you and a memory keepsake of that special day spent together. All our favours can be personalised and include confectionery. All our favours can be personalised and include confectioner of your choice.

HOW TO PERSONALISE YOUR FAVOURS

Favours are a little gift given to your guests as a thank you, we at www.bbbonbon.ie like to personalise all our favors, this service is FREE of charge and therefore included on the price.

There are many ways to personalise your favors, we as a standard write the name of the child and the date of the occasion, that being a First Communion or a Christening, we also add the meanings of the traditional 5 sweets included in all favours, they symbolise healh, wealth, longevity, fertility and happiness.

For a First Communion a lovely suggestion is for the Communion child to write a little thank you card that can be added to the favours or indeed a little poem or a quote that the child likes.

If the child is good a drawing, a small picture and just the word thank you inside each favour box can go a long way……

As for Christenings, the choice is endless, again, anything from a quote chosen by the parents, or mybe a few words on the meaning of the child’s name, or indeed a note written as if the child had written it will definitely blow your guests away.

We at www.bbbonbon.ie are more than happy to answer all your enquiries on how to personalise your children’s favours and  how to make these little gifts even more special!

Missing buttons found

Missing Add to Cart button

Missing Add to Cart button

A number of customers phoned me before Christmas cause they were unable to add favours to their shopping basket because they couldn’t see the ‘Add to Cart’ button.

This was a bit of a baffling issue because I could see the buttons but others obviously couldn’t. Leona emailed our website guy and he had a quick look and couldn’t see the problem either.

After Christmas I emailed our website guy again, this time with some more information. He checked the product page with multiple browsers and quickly saw that the buttons were missing. He then quickly found a solution and fixed the problem. Phew.

For those who want to know the technical details, Damien added a meta tag to tell IE8 to behave like IE7.
