Sometimes brown paper packages tied up with string really can be the most favourite of things.

If you are stumped for what to buy for a god-child look no further than the divine bookshop in Curzon Street that is Heywood Hill.

Their service is incomparable. You describe your godson/ goddaughter / neice/ nephew and their age and then the perfect book will be chosen, wrapped, hand written note and sent off to the grateful recipient. You can make this a running process whereby birthdays etc are noted and you can rest assured that an entirely appropriate and soon to be much loved book will be sent every year.

Get set up with them now and become the best godparent in the world.

Heywood Hill.
