Bestest Christmas Gift Ideas No.23 – soft toy tool box
All small boys love their tool box, don’t they? But the trouble is always the hammer. Making contact with your knees. And the television. And baby sister. But look at this one: everything, including the bag, is made from fabric; and is therefore SOFT!! The set includes the tool box, hammer, screwdriver, wrench, and an adjustable wrench, is 100% cotton – and is just £19.99. Would make a small boy happy,...
The Ultimate Girls Tutu
Bear has one of these adorable dressing-up tutu’s, and I have to say they’re not only ridiculously cute, but oh-so-clever in design too. The waistband is not just elasticated, but fully extendable with a button system, to allow full and proper size adjustment – Bear is a skinny ole toddler, but I know this tutu not only fits her now, but in all likelihood will do so in 2 years time as well. Bob & Blossom have...
Bestest Christmas Gift Ideas No.6 – Emma Bridgewaters ‘Men at work’ lunch box tin
Oh how I hate lunchboxes! I knwo, I know, a necessary evil – but they’re so horrible to look at! Except, of course, for this lovely traditional lunchbox tin from Emma Bridgewater. We have had it on review, and Katy gave Ben the tricky task of putting it through its paces; “Ben uses it 3 times a week for pre-school and so very proudly. Oh, many a little boy in the pre-school waiting room has shuffled over to see,...
Bestest Christmas Gift Ideas No.2 – Maileg Mice in matchboxes (but they’re all mine, mine, mine)
I just can’t tell you how sweet these Maileg Mice are. Sweet, charming, traditionally quirky and SO pretty you simply have to smile. Armstrong Ward is one of my favourite take-five-minutes stores, with too many yum things to tell you about here. But I just couldn’t resist these adorable Maileg mice when I spotted them, and felt a Bestest Gift Idea whoosh over me when he arrived in the post. They totally live up to their...
Secret review – We no like the… Silver Cross Dazzle Pushchair.
Okay, as we always do, when we get a product we don’t like, we go back to the PR company and give them the choice – pull it? Or publish anyway? I’ve been avoiding writing the Dazzle review, simply because I kept waiting to fall in love with it. In the end, I wrote what I thought, and pushed it off to the lovely Silver Cross PR’s, expecting them to snatch it and run to the hills with it. But no. D’you know...
Silver Cross Explorer Sport Car Seat Review
The Explorer Sport is a stylish looking car seat which was an important step up for my daughter – she had outgrown her Group 1 seat, and we needed something bigger (she was very happy to have one that looked more like her big brothers!) It had been slightly tricky to find a good car seat for her as she is small for her age (Note from Laura – car seat groups should always be measured by weight NOT age, so be patient like Nina and don’t...
