Mighty Mug (anyone with a desk NEEDS this mug. Powered by magic it is)
So far this year I have killed a keyboard, a mouse, a Wacom Pen Tablet (*cries* that was an expensive death) and countless pieces of Very Important paperwork.How? Coffee. I know, I admit it.I. Am. Clumsy. Having a mug of coffee on my desk is like an open invitation for a hot brown liquid lake to launch itself at the nearest Important Thing. If it’s connected to an electrical supply? So much the better. So imagine my glee when I...
The New Lottie Dolls – have you seen? The Very Best Dolls For Young Girls – Christmas Gift Guide
I am a huge huge HUGE fan of the Lottie Doll. Have you seen them? Super-cute little play dolls – who all look… like little girls. Gone are the impressive adult breasts, tucked in waists, super-long legs, high heels and mini skirts. In their place? Lottie has a… normal body. She looks like any other girl does. She doesn’t wear makeup, jewellery or high heels – she can stand on her own two feet (as they say,...
The awesome SleepPhones. Yes, they’re exactly like pyjamas for your ears – Christmas Gift Guide.
These. Are. Genius. Utterly utterly genius. All my children love to listen to audio books at bedtime – music too, for the teens. But if there’s one thing that’s a pain in the neck (well, ears anyway) it’s wearing headphones in bed, no? Lying anyway by flat on your back is uncomfortable, and even then the positioning is tricky – and if you move, they slip and you’ve lost the lovely waves of sound...
Brilliant 3-In-1 Baby Walker from Petite Star – Christmas Gift Guide
I know, it’s great, isn’t it? (and don’t worry if blue isn’t your thing – there’s pink and red ones too) And it’s WAY more than a walker – this thing does it all. It starts off life as a Bouncer, moves into an exerciser and then revolves into a walker for when your baby is up on their feet and on the move. Look, this video is better at showing you than anything I can tell you: Genius,...
An Irresistable Boy Rag Doll from Moulin Roty – Christmas Gift Guide
Isn’t he just amazing? I cannot tell you the number of times we get asked on Twitter and Facebook if we know of any good boy dolls – small boys love to play with dolls just as much as girls do, and yet the toy manufactures seem to insist on making them all wear pink. So we squeaked with joy when we clapped our eyes in this handsome little garçon over at Petalina. Isn’t he just the sweetest? He’s called...
The Socks (No, really, stay with me. He’ll love this) – Christmas Gift Guide
I know what you’re thinking. Socks. REALLY? But for a joke I got this exact Drawer Filler ‘sock hamper’ for my husband last year. Possibly one of the Best Presents Ever. There are so many that you can’t help but laugh when you open them – and the socks are fabulous! Really good Jeep socks, and a whole range of types from thick woolly wellie socks down to thin black dress socks. It’s a perfect...
