What are we bid for Boco's brilliant original handpainted 'baby names' artwork? The money raised is going to Kids Company, which provides therapeutic care for vulnerable children and young people, so please get bidding. The virtual gavel will fall on the morning of Monday 1 Dec, and then we'll announce the winning bid.

Post your bids here - the highest one wins.

Going going ... last chance for any more Christmas card bids to raise money for Kids Company. The auction will close in half an hour and then we'll post the winning bids for each of the four original paintings. Thanks to everyone who has posted (and to anyone who's preparing to up the ante by sneaking in a cheeky last-minute bid ).

I think Boco was paid/comissioned to do them wasn't she?

Awful lot of work if she wasn't....
