Merry Christmas!
Well, that’s it. No more Gift Ideas from us; we are done, you’re on your own. You can of course see the whole of this years Gift Guide right here.
But now the children are home from school, and we are calling the Christmas Holidays finally HERE.
The Advent Calendar will continue until Christmas Eve, of course – but we’ll not be here to talk to. We are closing our LittleStuff doors to fill our days with mince-pie-baking, sausageroll-making, cheesy movie watching, paperchain creating, sitting by the fire and walks in the snow (ple-e-e-e-ease let it snow…).
We just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you all for joining us during this most bonkers and wonderful year, and we look forward to seeing you all again in 2012.
See you on the other side… Toot toot!
Laura & Katy

The 8yr old LOVES the Tollins – and the new book is just as good as the first!
Conn Iggulden is a bit of a hero of our family. I stumbled across his Emperor books in the library and was transfixed. Then came the Big Book for Boys – instant love from No.1 son. Then, as if half the family were not enough for him to have collected, he writes these really quite brilliant books for younger bigger readers.
You know, the tricky 6-9 age where they’re clever enough to read chapter books, but are either bored or daunted by most of them?
And cleverly, it’s in essence a fairy book – but Tollins are NOT fairies. And they’re tough and exciting. Welcome in, boys-who-won’t-read-fairy-stories. Set in the 1920′s, there’s captures and escapes and flying, a le-ee-tle bit of romance, lots of bangs and fireworks and a horrible end for Wangle, courtesy of a Cat.
The books are a joy to read – witty and warm and exciting and fun to read aloud. And as they’re a collection of four short chapter books, they’re perfect for short bursts at bedtime.
You’ll love them. Honest.
You can get the first Tollins book here
