Bestest Christmas Gift Guide – Jesus’ Christmas Party Book
Oh this book is BRILLIANT! I was sniggering just from a first flick through, before I got anywhere near bedtime stories and reading it aloud to the 4yr old. Telling the Christmas story from the seriously sleep-deprived (and VERY grumpy) Inn Keeper, this book will be read again and again. Unusually for a book telling this story, it is neither overly heavy or sanctimonious, nor is it irreverent with its Christmas message. However, one...
Bestest Christmas Gift guide – IKEA soft toys
Did you know that for every soft toy, kids meal and book purchased in IKEA stores until December 23rd, the IKEA foundation will donate 1 Euro to UNICEF and Save the Children to support Children’s education programmes throughout the world. No, me either. And those bods at IKEA? They know how to make soft toys, no? I *want* that stoopid reindeer… and this little man down here is the newest version of Monty, y’know....
The Bestest Christmas Gift Guide – The Yellow Genius of The Sort & Store Lego Head.
These Lego storage heads are just a brilliant idea – even by Lego standards. What’s the age old issue with Lego? That one complaint that we all have about this modern toy-majig? The tidying up. I’ve seen parents restrict the child to keeping the Lego in one tray to ease the tidying… but where’s the creative fun in that? The alternative, of course, is not only risking serious Lego Foot injury by allowing Access All (floor)Areas,...
Bestest Christmas Gift guide – Classic Corgi Diecast 2012 models
Oh, what’s NOT to love about a Corgi Die Cast model? Solidly Heavy and GORGEOUS to play with. And these new 2012 Olympic releases are no different. Of course, you CAN tuck them away, as they’ll no doubt be worth money in the future – you know how Corgi cars go. But me? I think that’s sad. This is a toy. And it’s built to be played with. And oh how lovely they are to be played with! These aren’t...
Bestest Christmas Gift Guide – Rabbit Pyjama Case
She has baby rabbits in her pockets! Oh she’s so gorgeous – pyjama or nightie cases are a bit of a lost art, aren’t they? But I bet if you show this to any Granny, they’ll snap it up for their granddaughters. And I absolutely bet the granddaughters would love using her too. Who wouldn’t? Found over on Etsy UK, the Bunny Rabbit Pyjama Case can be snapped up from Enchanted Cards for...
Bestest Christmas Gift Guide – The Tag Reading System
Oh how we love love LOVE the Tag reading system! Right from the very early days, when it was in an enormous plastic folder that was bulky and horridious to carry around, we have owned at least one – thankfully they have got smaller and cleverer over the years! The latest pen (in classic green and also purple – which thankfully isn’t pink, though it is called that) holds up to 10 books at any one time – toppety top...
