Returning to The Baby Show London – A Proud Moment for Tiny Tiptoes
After first showcasing Tiny Tiptoes at The Baby Show Olympia London in the Autumn, we recently returned to their first show of 2026 at ExCel London. Not only have we grown as a small business since then (and rebranded!), but it was lovely to see how far we have come, and the knowledge we brought to this show that we didn’t have last time. It was also wonderful to reconnect with some of the amazing brands that we have met at past shows, and catch up with how they are all getting on too.
Exhibiting at one of the UK’s biggest baby events feels huge for our small family business. Setting up our stand and seeing our products next to some amazing top baby brands is a proud feeling!
What is The Baby Show?
The Baby Show ExCeL London is one of the UK’s leading baby and parenting events, bringing together thousands of expectant parents, new families, and baby brands.
It’s a go-to destination for:
- Discovering baby essentials
- Finding unique baby gifts
- Meeting trusted brands
- Supporting small UK businesses
Showcasing Our Baby Memory Books & Keepsakes
At our stand, we showcased our full range of:
- Baby hand & footprint memory books
- Clean-touch ink pads
- Animal-themed keepsake prints
Having exhibited before at Olympia, we refined our stand and product display, hopefully making it easier for visitors to see, touch, and experience our products in person.
One of the most rewarding parts was watching people flick through our memory books and instantly connect with them.
The Conversations We’ll Never Forget
One of the most special parts of the show was meeting so many of you in person.
We spoke to:
- First-time parents preparing to meet their baby
- Second, third, fourth, and even fifth time parents!
- Family members looking for meaningful gifts
And time and time again, we heard things like:
“I’ve never seen anything like this before”
“I wish I had this when my first was born”
“Oh wow!”
Those conversations are exactly why Tiny Tiptoes exists.
Our Favourite Moments
There were so many wonderful moments over the weekend, however a few really stood out:
- Customers who had visited our stand at Olympia last Autumn returning to us at Excel
- The lady who loved our products so much that she ended up buying a memory book and keepsake prints….even though she didn’t have anyone to give them to!
- The customers who said they had been told to come and check out our stand by their friends
Why This Means So Much
Tiny Tiptoes was created during a very emotional chapter in our lives, I was on maternity leave, navigating motherhood to two children, and grieving the loss of a loved one. Our memory book was born because of this, and being at the Baby Show isn’t just about selling products for us, it’s also about sharing our something deeply personal to us.
Your Favourite Picks
It was so lovely to see what everyone was drawn to most:
- Our hand & footprint memory book – especially the freedom to create your own story, without pressure
- Our clean-touch ink pads (the live demos were a hit…and we completely sold out of some colours!)
- Our animal keepsake prints – perfect for nursery walls or thoughtful gifts
Why Exhibiting at Baby Shows Matters for Small Businesses
Exhibiting at both Olympia London and ExCeL London has shown us just how powerful in-person events can be.
They allow us to:
- Build trust with customers
- Share our story face-to-face
- Understand what parents are truly looking for
And most importantly, they give people the chance to connect physically with the quality and feel of our products, something that’s hard to fully capture online.
Thank You for Visiting Us
If you stopped by our stand, thank you.
Supporting a small business like ours means so much. Whether you made a purchase, had a chat, or simply took a leaflet, it all matters.
What’s Next?
The Baby Show Excel and The Baby Show Olympia have given us so much inspiration and motivation to keep connecting with our customers in person.
So we will be back at The Baby Show NEC in May 2026!
Before then we will also be exhibiting at The Baby and Toddler Show, London (Sandown Park) in March, and The Baby and Toddler Show Glasgow in April.
We hope to see you there!
