Spotted! ‘Flower Nail’ Notepad

Oooh, pretty, yes? Natural oak base, and the paper is held in place with that lovely ‘Flower Nail’ – just remove it to add more paper. That bargainous price even includes a refill pad (but not the pencil- you’ll just have to sharpen your own).

Spotted! Mr Jade from Snooshy

Oh I’m in LOVE with my new find – Knuffels A La Carte! SUCH a fab website, its pages bulging with quirky, funny, odd – yet endearingly cute ethical and fairtrade toys.

No, this is a travel bag for your child. And it’s flippin genius is what it is. Now you can, of course, visit the Yuuworld web site and order a bag for your child. But that’s really chopping half the fun out of...

Back To School – Most Totally Personalised Lunch Bag. Ever.

Genius this is. The brainchild of the clever ole so and so’s at Tiny Me, this is taking personalised to a new level. You go to the web site here, and select your colour bag – red, pink or blue. Then you go choose from the 110 (that’s ONE HUNDRED AND TEN – yes, I just counted them) images to go on the front. Oh, and then you choose which colourway you want your chosen image to be in. And THEN… you click to...
