Dear Parents, Even Your Non-Gamer Teens Need A Gaming Laptop
You may of course own a Gamer Teen like me – one who has been wailing for months that she neeeeds a new PC (but seriously – where are you going to PUT one?). Or your teen (and you) may think Steam is simply what makes creases come out of clothes (and concentrated-chicken-poo-dog-sick come out of the carpet…).Either way, they Need A Gaming Laptop. So we need to make a few things clear. Firstly – Gen Z teens NEED...
Element Gaming Headset Xenon 700 Review
Third in our series of Brilliant Value Gaming Gear is the Element Gaming Headset Xenon 700 review. We’re pretty well in love with Element by now – the Thorium Keyboard is a stonkingly good bit of kit, and the Iridium Gaming Mouse is a no-brainer at under £23 from Ebuyer. And so with high expectations we come to their top-of-the-range gaming headset, the Xenon 700. With a design borrowed heavily from Razer’s...
The Person Controller – David Baddiel’s most excellent new children’s book
When I was asked if I’d like to give away a copy of The Person Controller, I’ll admit I didn’t leap about. I mean I really like David Baddiel – when he’s nattering aimlessly away with Frank Skinner. But I’ve never read any of his books (sorry Mr Baddiel…), so I really didn’t know if his latest offering would be up to much. (what? Look, LittleStuff is nothing if it’s not honest) So...
Win a £210 Kauffmann Winter Special Down Single Duvet? Yes please #WinterISComing
It’s October now. HOW did that happen quite so fast? I swear, I just nipped down to make a pot of coffee, and when I came back to the office a whole month had slipped past. So when DownDuvet got in touch and asked if you might be keen to win a Kauffmann Winter Special duvet, I might have jumped up so hard I hit my head on the ceiling (Ow.) Because Winter IS Coming (thanks Jon – see, you DO know something), and there is...
Element Iridium 820 Gaming Mouse Review
Gaming Mice are a new creature for most parents. I mean – a mouse is a mouse, right? It has two clicky buttons, one left, one right, and allows you to control the computer with point-and-click awesomeness. Yuh. Wrong. Because if you own a teen gamer, a simple left-click-right-click option isn’t going to cut it. Oh no no. They need programmable shortcut profile buttons, adjustable hand fit and a really good DPI...
The astonishingly lovely ‘Imaginary Fred’ from Eoin Colfer & Oliver Jeffers
Any conversation about children’s books is going to feature a couple of names at some point. Oliver Jeffers. One of the very best picture book authors/Illustrators in the whole widest world. We have a complete library, and my book-absorbing 8yr old STILL regularly revisits the astonishingly beautiful ‘Stuck’ and ‘The Day the Crayons Quit’ on a regular basis. And Eoin Colfer – the man who gave the...
