Bestest Christmas Gift Guide – The Super Very-Ever-So-REALLY Soft Dressing Gown.
Is there ANYTHING nicer than a super thick soft dressing gown to snug up in on a chilly morning? Or even NICER on a chilly evening by the fire, curled up with a mug of hot chocolate. And this particular dressing gown from Vertbaudet is one of the thickest plushest ones I’ve come across. It’s a struggle for me to get the girl to wear anything else at the weekend, if I’m honest.

Go for it. So I did. I created a book with our 2011 images ready for the annual Gift For the...
