Swaps and low-cost sales are popping up around Cardiff to ease the stress for parents<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

WORLD Book Day can be a chance to be creative with your child – but for many parents this kind of school costume day spells dread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether it’s cost, a costume-related tantrum or simply an extra thing to fit in before the school run, World Book Day can cause more stress than fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And with St David\u2019s Day celebrations falling in the same week, for parents in Wales it\u2019s a double whammy of dress-up days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there are some mums across Cardiff who want to ease the pressure by making low-cost, second-hand costume options available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of those mums is Harriet Valentino, who has three children at primary school in Barry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She enjoys the fun of World Book Day, but always tries to reuse or borrow something instead of buying new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
