Mother’s Day Gifts – The Head Case
Is it wrong to really have snorted at these? Like most of Twisted Twee’s items, they’re quirky, foolish – and a lot of fun. Naturally of the best quality Egyptian Cotton, though. And this one made my boys snigger too… (Though I’m not sure if that’s indicative of my mood upon being woken, or my sculpted bed head hair…) All Head Case pillowcases are £15 berzackly from the...

Funky Little Darlings list this cushion of loveliness in their Children’s Rooms section. Blow that. I want that patch of graceful loveliness in MY bedroom. Did you spot the little bird in there? Dandelion Fields cushion £48 from Funky little Darlings.

(and yes, before you ask – there are grown-up-sized ones too! – Selkbag)

But there are more things to consider beside price; the capacity needs to be large; it needs to have a quick wash facility and a high energy-efficiency rating is also beneficial as this helps...
Magnetic Poetry for children (and me… *cough*)
I admit it. I find a very simple pleasure and a huge amount of fun in re-arranging words on the fridge to make silly, rude or ridiculous sentences. Thankfully, I have a family if similarly easily-amused minds, so a trip to the kitchen is never complete without a quick glance to see what someone has created (or said about their brother’s bottom). This tin form the Literary Gift Company is excellent for children to use –...
