All is well in Potato Bagland, you’ll be pleased to note…
Read Morewe do a lot of competitions…
… and give away a lot of prizes. Some big, some small, but all carefully sourced by us to be interesting and appealing.
But we get very few lovely mails like this one…
Just to let you know prize arrived today and my 6 year old daughter is having a whale of a time with it.
Sorry I cannot send you a photo as my daughter is autistic and doesn’t like photos – but my little girl loves it so a Big Thank You.
Shelly.
We don’t bite, and we do so love to get nice letters form nice people… It’s really very okay to drop us a mail and say thanks.

Individuality, style and a touch of class.
That’s us, yes?
Yes.
Joking aside, we LOVE their babywear collection - practical and comfortable without compromising on quality (and keep your eyes peeled for a review of their totally fabulous Aden & Anais swaddling wraps coming next week courtesy of Bec at Beetroot and Gherkins.)
Anyhoo – the lovely Lush Baby people love you all so much they want to give you a present… So here it is. A lovely 10% discount code from ANYTHING in their shop. Yep – anything! We suggest you go browse, as there’s some rather delicious clothes, and the baby gifts are too sweet to ignore.

Hoppop Bag review – have you SEEN these?
I hadn't even seen these before, but I did have a little 'oooh!' moment when I did - and wished I had a child that was still small enough to warrant me getting one, actually.
Keris has been reviewing again (we think she only loves us for the review stuff, actually…), and this time she has been putting the Hoppop bag through its paces.
So. Hoppop bag. I’m afraid I don’t have a lot to say about this bag. It just does exactly as it says. It’s a bag and it’s a booster seat. You put the baby’s essentials in the bag and then at mealtimes, you sit the baby on the bag and, you know, feed it (the baby, not the bag). The bag zips open at the front, i.e. behind the baby’s legs, so even if you forget something, you can still reach inside and get it. The bag is rigid so nothing gets squashed and it’s also light so it’s perfectly comfortable to use as a bag too. At the back of the bag there’s a pocket with a folded changing mat inside and there are also side pockets for bottles or other extras PLUS pockets inside for organisation purposes.
The seat portion unclips easily (just two elastics around two buttons) and then you attach the seat to a chair (with an easily clipped strap) and the baby into the seat harness in the usual way. Once you’ve finished, all the straps tuck away. We’ve used it loads of times and Joe loves it. Well, Joe loves being fed, he barely seems to notice the seat at all, but that’s a good thing. It’s one of those items that I can’t believe wasn’t invented sooner and I don’t know how we managed without. (We even use it in cafes/restaurants where they have their own highchairs, since they’re often not all that clean. I mean, ours isn’t either, but at least it’s our own muck, eh?)
