Back To School Teens? Don’t miss these five often-overlooked stationery essentials.

If you’re an organised school parent, by now you have the uniform ready, the shoes polished, the sports kit checked and replenished. School bags may need replacing – or simply throwing in the washing machine to see them through another year. But are you all stocked up on the stationery drawer?

Spotted! Gorgeous Wooden Wonder Wagon Walker from Hape

PERFECT Boden swimsuits reduced to clear!

I am stupidly super-fussy about my daughter’s swimming costumes. I know I am. Until such time as she grows big enough to make her own choices, I have very firm rules (which make no real sense, and I honestly make no judgements on other’s choices. This is all in my head, and I’m totally fine with that) For me, bikinis are a no. A v-shaped neckline which suggest cleavage? That’s out too. The same rules as lunchboxes apply in...
