Baggaley Bergstrom uses everything from vintage buttons to badges to create mini works of art. Check out the retro comic designs, which can be customized to include kids’ names.

Illustrator Paul Thurlby has a dedicated alphabet e-shop where you can buy fun letters. Spell out kiddo’s name with limited-edition retro prints.

Bella-Oscar’s colourful paintings will keep you and your pint-size Picasso happy. The original canvases have an educational leaning (world map of animals, ABC’s of London) and a layer of varnish to protect them from curious little fingers.

Get your hands on them while you still can.
