Spotted! A Unicorn Notebook – love it!
LOVE this notebook! Perfect for my New-Year-Tidy desk (and clearly those unicorns have as much paying-attention skills as I have). The ‘Dear Noah, sincerely the Unicorns Journal’ was Spotted in Anrol Designs Etsy shop, it’s a horn over £5, and will ship from Australia to your door for just £3.50. Totally worth it, just for the smile it’ll raise every day.

And, because they are made by LittleLife, they’re far more than just pretty faces. Oh yes. These are real life proper grown up cases made smaller (and more fun). You get a...
Bestest Christmas Gift Guide – Lottie Doll
My daughter loves imaginary play with her soft toys and animals, and this year 9she’s almost 6) she’s been yearning for a doll. But… I hate them. I do. I don’t mind the baby type dolls – but we simply have no room for the baby paraphernalia which will naturally grow with it. And the alternative? A whole array of adult-shaped dolls which cater to a hideous gender stereotype I don not want to plant in my...
