Read MoreWelcoming Waves to Wall Word Designs
Funky, creative, personal vinyl stickers for wall decorations are very on-trend and Wall Word Designs have some of the nicest. They specialise in phrases and famous quotations but can also do bespoke too. Got a favourite saying that would look just perfect in your kitchen? I’d quite like just a simple “FLUSH!” or “NO DRIBBLING!” in matron-like lettering above every loo in our house!
Wall Word Designs also have some stunning wall art stickers too and we LOVE the children’s stuff. I know a certain little boy who would just adore the Planes, Trains & Trucks!

Read MoreWarmest Welcome to Toys of Essence

Toys of Essence sell top quality educational toys for babies, pre-schooler and early primary school children. Playing is a vital part of your child’s development so the toys that you choose are of equal importance. Your child’s natural ability to play from birth enriches their physical, emotional, social and intellectual development.

Marvellous!
Read MoreOh, oh oh! LOTS of yummy things from Petra Boase!
Petra Boase are new to LittleStuff – but we’ve meandered through the pages of the site oh so many times in the past. We’re so pleased to welcome them in! So. Have you seen them? Do you know all about the delicious Petra Boase owls and birds and umpteen lovely things she stocks?
No?
Tsk.
Okay – here’s a head start for you. My personal favourite?
This Flying Birds mug. I am thinking I need my tea from this very mug very soon (please take note Mr Laura. Or Petra. Or anyone else who feels like buying me a lovely new mug… Mr Laura certainly won’t as he feels there are Too Many Already. Pah – no such thing. Anyhoo, I digress…).![]()
Then of course there’s the sweetest little owls who drew me in to Petra’s clutches originally… A notebook. With THAT owl on it. Pretty pretty.
Not to mention the tea towels. Or the Cotton Ball Fairy Lights.
Oh, now look. I just lost ten minutes… Honestly; go wander around on your own time. I have Things To Do.
Read MoreHello, Good Morning – and welcome to Mummy & Little Me
Yet another new name in the LittleStuff house – and plenty of things to go ooh over too, we’re happy to say.
There’s a really rather gorgeous collection of maternity wear (which because it has been individually sourced is full of ‘something different’), maternity lingerie & nursing underwear, baby changing bags, baby clothes, maternity nightwear and special gifts that we have handpicked from all over the world.
We’re particularly taken with the Noppies Bangkok maternity jeans, which we’re assured look fab on all shapes of bum (hello weird Google searcher; yes, we’re using bangkok and bum in one sentence but we’re probably a bit of a disappointment to you). In addition to the jeans range, there’s a whole page of totally fabulous maternity dresses – something which I always struggled to find. Whether you’re looking for something cool and everyday this summer, or something a bit special for a wedding then this page is really worth stopping by and taking a peek at.
Oh, and along with the maternity wear, there’s a fab range of gifts – I have a serious eye on this Moulin Roty Dressing Up Wardrobe. I know a small pink person who would expire with joy if THAT found its way to our door…
Read MoreLarge round of welcoming applause for Monkey & Bo please.
Monkey and Bo – a small treasure trove of funkily designed clothes for babies and children
(what’s not to like about a company that stocks Moomin?). The range has been carefully selected from a range of small designers –
I’m particularly loving these fab double-kneed jeans from Chatterbox – and you’ll not find a single pastel-pale-coo-sweet item here.
Oh no.
Monkey and Bo are all about the colour and the fun. Their stuff is, as a certain small person would say in this house “Wicked!”
Read MoreWhy, hello there Jack Spratt Baby!
I’m not normally a huge fan of personalised clothing – or even of slogan-wear, if I’m being truthful.
But.
Oh Jack Spratt Baby – you do it with such STYLE!
Fresh, Funky and totally modern… I was grinning within minutes of arriving at the site. After all – who wouldn’t want a Vegas Elvis romper for their boy?
Read MoreStop by with a soft and flowery hello to Maia skincare.
Like everyone we love some nice-smelling soft stuff to pamper ourselves with.
And we’re pretty sure you’re no different. But of course you already have a bathroom cabinet full of the stuff, and you have your favourites, yes?
Yes, of course.
But what if we said this was entirely natural too?
Entirely natural, and entirely fantastic at what it does?
And not only natural, but handmade?
Handmade in Wales?
Handmade to be extra concentrated, so you need less?
Handmade in Wales using fairly traded, ethically sourced sustainable ingredients?
Palm Free, Cruelty Free and proudly Vegan?
Well, you’d bite my soft and sweet-smelling hand off, wouldn’t you?
Of course you would.
Did I mention the bottles are pretty too?
(welcome, Maia skincare. We are SO glad you joined us. *beam*)
Read MoreHold open the doors – All About The Boys is coming in
You need to prepare yourself when you go see LittleStuff’s newest friend, All About the Boys.
Because I feel obliged to warn you that Things May Not Be as You Expect.
Tis true. It happened to me.
So I just need to make one thing very clear.
It is certainly NOT ‘All about the Boys’.
Oh no.
There are Many Pretty Things in its pages that are most certainly All About The Girls.
So, now we have that cleared up, take a delve into the cool clear freshness of its pages and you’ll find childrens clothing of quality and substance. Branded designer clothes imported direct from America, which means limited high quality stock at great prices. What’s not to love about that?!
And for my own part I love that the site covers all the way up to age 14. Fan-flippin-tastic for those of us with older not-so-smalls (I have my eye on some oh-so-smart Ralph Lauren shorts for no.1 son). But also wa-a-ay back down the other end there’s bespoke girls dresses to coo over from Karen’s own Milly By The Sea label.
Stock sells out quickly, so be sure to check back regularly for newly listed items. And don’t tell me you don’t feel calmer just wafting around the lovely website, either.
Read MoreA First Hoorah for Peanut and Pip!
Oh, we do love pretty websites. And quirky websites. And invitingly funky websites. Oh, and websites that sell lots of yummy ‘oooh!’ stuff too.
So.
Needless to say, we LOVE Peanut and Pip! (I mean – how cute is their LOGO, for goodness sake?)
The latest member to be welcomed into the LittleStuff House, I’ve seriously just lost 15 minutes while I tried to write a simple welcome post – I got sidetracked meandering through their pages.
Don’t miss my favourite Mandy Sutcliffe Belle and Boo prints… or the fantastic T’es fou Louloup… or the reach-out-to-stroke Playforever racing cars… or… maybe I’ll step away from the mouse now…
So go on – go look for yourself. I dare you…
Read MoreWarm Welcome to Maternity and Nursing
The original idea for the Maternity and Nursing website was to be an outlet for the Yes! Nursing Bra and it soon expanded to a wonderful on-line shopping stocking hard-to-find items from all over the world for mums and mums-to-be in the UK.
From breastfeeding support products to birthing pools and beyond. I can personally vouch for the Preggie Pops/Queasy Drops as they really helped to keep that morning sickeness feeling at bay during my last pregnancy *shiver*.
Read MoreTillie Mint… Ooooo, Pretty!
Such pretty things.
From the just-perfect colours used in the design of their website to the gorgeous wares to be found there, Tillie Mint is a lovely, lovely website to wander around. They have gorgeous applique t-shirts, stunning handmade stationery and possibly the most beautiful house number signs I’ve ever seen!
With some friend’s getting married in a few weeks, my favourite thing on the Tillie Mint website has got to be their Mr & Mrs framed print. Just perfect!
Toot Toot! Tootsie and Fudge
Oh yes, another wonderful website has joined us here at LittleStuff (are we on a roll here or what?!). Welcome to Tootsie and Fudge, a great place for funky, fabulous, fun and oh-so-cool clothing for 0-6 year olds.
Tootsie and Fudge stock many gorgeous Scandinavian brands such as; Katvig, Molo, Melton, Hugin Mugin, ej sikke lej, Mala, Bipi Stuff, Smafolk , Ziestha,Green-Cotton and Swedish brand DucMocs.
Their gorgeously designed site is really easy to use with features such as price, size and gender filtering to help customers easily find what they are looking for.
Read MoreOllipops! Welcome, Welcome, Welcome…
A wonderful company has recently joined us here at LittleStuff; please give a big cheer for Ollipops!
You will find on Ollipop’s nifty website a superb range of really good stuff for the little people. They have the softest little baby shoes, beautiful bibs, gorgeous puppets, Summer essential UV wear, the cutest dressing up costumes and more, so much more.
I’ve also just spotted their funky Western Chief wellies which are very much needed right now in this cold, wet and snowy weather!
Got to also mention their fabulous range of Bobux soft leather shoes & winter winter boots. Show me a cold pair of toddler toes the wouldn’t appreciate a pair of these snuggly warm boots to pad about in!
Read MoreWelcome Aboard Chiggs!
Let’s all say “Hey There Chiggs!” to welcome them aboard the good ship LittleStuff.
Chiggs Wheels are very useful things indeed. Patented parenting products, cards and gifts with numbered dials to keep track of baby’s feed and everyone’s medicine times.
I bought one of their Baby Feed Wheels for my cousin when her daughter was born and she was over the moon with it. Enormously helpful is what she said.
If you are looking for a really useful card to send to someone who’s feeling poorly or who’s lives have recently been blessed with a new baby – send them a Chiggs!
Read MoreGroup Hug to Baby Duck Shop
Yet another fine on-line boutique to welcome into the LittleStuff fold.
Baby Duck Shop offers a wide range of products from gorgeous organic clothing to special gifts and toys for little people from 0-2 years.
I am particularly loving this, if only it was in my size….
