Spotted! A leather-bound Little Book Of Big Ideas
I. Want. This. Want want WANT it. Softback leather (letterpress printed) cover, with plain or squared lined pages of finest quality paper, and a slightly distressed, vintage appearance… Did you ever see anything finer for keeping by your side to jot down the gazillion genius thoughts you lose track of during the day? I thought not. Available (along with a whole pile of other leather-bound tempters) from Hope House...
The Yuu Bag. Genius.
The Yuu Bag. Not really a bag, as such. More an experience in a Rucksack. The Yuu bag isn’t a school bag (though my 10yr old insists on using his) – it’s just a bit too big for lugging to school. No, this is a travel bag for your child. And it’s flippin genius is what it is. Now you can, of course, visit the Yuuworld web site and order a bag for your child. But that’s really chopping half the fun out of...
Back To School – Most Totally Personalised Lunch Bag. Ever.
Genius this is. The brainchild of the clever ole so and so’s at Tiny Me, this is taking personalised to a new level. You go to the web site here, and select your colour bag – red, pink or blue. Then you go choose from the 110 (that’s ONE HUNDRED AND TEN – yes, I just counted them) images to go on the front. Oh, and then you choose which colourway you want your chosen image to be in. And THEN… you click to...
Spotted! Beautiful Family Tree from Famille Summerbelle
Oh, I love this! I would love it in my kitchen. And I know my children would all love this too, hanging in their bedrooms. And I can’t imagine anything nicer to put in the nursery of a new baby, either, can you? It comes in two parts, the back has guides to show you where to stick your photographs, so that when you lay the front on top everything looks perfect. There are three different gorgeous versions on the Famille...
Back To School – Kickers. Still kickin’ it.
Shoes are a tricky thing to talk about – I mean, just how exciting can a pair of school shoes be? Well… these aren’t just any old school shoes. Oh no. these are KICKERS school shoes. There is a huge range of colours and styles (*whispers* a few of which are, quite frankly, not-pretty) and some of them are very very lovely. The 8yr old, faced with that whole array of choice, strangely plumped for the traditional ‘Kick...
Spotted! Classic Card Games Set
As a family we LOVE playing card games. They’re just the ultimate toy, aren’t they? Small enough to go anywhere, simple rules everyone can master easily, endlessly flexible in terms of age range, and big belly laughs guaranteed. So I whooped with glee when I spotted this triple pack over on Little Bundles – three great games in one! Animal Rummy (which I’m guessing is a child’s version of Gin Rummy), Old...
