Big news this week! A beautiful BABY! WITH A NAME!!! FROM A LADY!!!! WHO WEARS CLOTHES AND HAS HAIR!!!!! This is wonderful news, of course, just as it is every single day when thousands of babies are born - and that's just in the UK.
We’ve seen some slightly cringe-inducing moments this week with saccharine congratulations poured like gloopy pink icing over a message to shop here or buy that, all to ‘celebrate’ the Royal Princess’s arrival.
As much as we love a cute baby picture and a bit of name-guessing here in our little Spaceform castle, what we really want is to celebrate are the real Princes and Princesses in everyone’s lives.
So behold, loyal Spaceformers, our guide to majestic gifts fit for the Duchess and Royal Baby in YOUR life.
