Town House Giant Hama Beads Gift Box – Christmas Gift Guide
Has your house been hit by Hama yet? We managed to escape it with the three older boys – but now we seem to always have small crunchy beads underfoot (I didn’t realise until this morning that they are completely safe should they be swallowed! Good news for the dog then…). And I LOVE the stillness that descends when the Hama is out and concentration settles as creations are made. This Giant set is a fab one too...
Ben 10 Omniverse Omni-Link Omnitrix – Christmas Gift Guide
I know, I know – we don’t usually ‘do’ the high street plastic. But let’s be honest – if you’re a parent there’s no avoiding it. And if you happen to own a Ben 10 fan – this is where it’s AT. The Omnitrix. Actually – I quite enjoyed Ben 10. My boys LOVED him first time around (they’re too old now for the latest incarnation), and I quite miss the presence of...
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,...
