And another one – Mamas & Papas Astro Cradle, which we were determined not to like.

So – frankly, I was rather glad it wasn’t me having to review this thing. I mean – a cradle which plays music and flashes? Honestly?
Still, as always, we agreed to give it a proper go, and had it sent off to Intrepid Claire and baby LG to have a squizz at.

New Review – Cosatto 3sixti Highchair

Our review of the Cosatto 3sixti highchair can  be read on our site here.

What did Santa bring you?

Mugs are such  handy ’small’ christmas gifts – and this one is such a nice shape too! Very retro 50’s styling, it would make me happy greeting me every morning. And unusually for my (big, bucket-like) mugs, my Mum would love to drink form this one too.

Bestest Christmas Gift Ideas No.6 – Emma Bridgewaters ‘Men at work’ lunch box tin

Oh how I hate lunchboxes! I knwo, I know, a necessary evil – but they’re so horrible to look at! Except, of course, for this lovely traditional lunchbox tin from Emma Bridgewater. We have had it on review, and Katy gave Ben the tricky task of putting it through its paces;
“Ben uses it 3 times [...]
