Spotted! Stormtrooper Mood Light

I. Know. How cool is THAT?! Obviously with a new Star wars film coming out this year, Star Wars items are once again splashing in all the shops – but I genuinely love this light. It’s properly big – I had a suspicion it would be a teeny tiny thing for the utterly reasonable £15 price tag; but when I watched the unboxing video, it’s huge; actually head-sized! And it glows with a really nice bright white light;...

Sleep. And Changing Beds (*NB – video will make you Eeewwwww).

When I saw the email from the Sleep Council, I admit I rolled my eyes a bit. Yes, yes, we know. Change your mattress. It’s good for you. We all need good sleep. Yada yada. But then I saw this little fact jumping out at me: Obese adults who lose at least 5 percent of their body weight report that they sleep better and longer after six months of weight loss, according to a new study. (Department of Medicine at the Perelman School...

I have a new hobby. It’s called Homify.

It’s like someone took the whole contents of Pinterest, mixed them up with all the very best interiors blogs and magazines, scooped out all the inspiring pictures and ideas, then categorised them...

Hunting for a perfect sofa ? Trust me. Do it with Sofa.com

As a 70’s Essex child, the ‘sofa’ is a bit of a weird new world. It’s a settee, innit?  And once you had one, you paid no more attention to it until it broke. My Nan had a huge faux-leather mustard coloured one that was older than I was, ridiculously hot and uncomfortable to legs in shorts or skirts and never seemed to age or sink no matter how many dogs and grandchildren passed through her little house.

Mug For Life | Father’s Day Gift Ideas

We properly LOVE Mug For Life – and their Tea Lovers Gift Pack is genius. We bought the boxed gift set for the tea-mad 15yr old at Christmas, and it as properly amazing – he drinks a fair few mugs a day, sitting at his desk; which means a fair few mugs-worth of sloshes and drips up the stairs (and a few spills across the keyboard…). But no more! The ONLY mug he’s allowed to take upstairs is his Mug for Life...

Binary Code Geeks Leather Keyring | Father’s Day Gift Ideas

Oh it might be a bit wrong to love this geeks leather keyring quite so much. But telling your dad you love him in BINARY? Genius. The binary code message translates to “love you dad”. All manner of awesomeness. A not-at-all-embarassing key ring in Real Man Leather, a secret coded message, geek-happy binary AND swooshes of love and kisses every time he rummages for his keys. Spotted over on the fabulous Man Gun Bear site,...
