The one where Keris tries the Skoda Roomster
(And no, don’t you dare click away in boredom at a CAR review – this was written by Keris so you just KNOW it’ll be worth a quick squizz through…) After falling so much in love with the Skoda Yeti, we were all very excited about the prospect of the Skoda Roomster. As wonderful as the Yeti is, we thought it was maybe a bit too big for us and that the Roomster would be more fitting. We looked at it online and...
I *heart* The Monster In My Kitchen… (Thank You Samsung)
I. Love. This. Fridge. It’s officially called the Samsung G-Series RFG23DERS American Fridge Freezer. But round these parts, it’s just known as The Monster. It’s huge – and it’s beautiful. When Samsung asked if I’d like one in my kitchen, I laughed a bit. Clearly they weren’t actually serious. Turns out, they were. This thing is HUGE. Seriously. It’s called the Monster for a reason....
The Bestest Christmas Gift guide – The Lego Minifigure Display Case. Oh yes.
For me, these are a le-e-e-tle bit pointless. I mean, the whole point of a Lego figure is to play with it, yes? Hmmm. Apparently no. Apparently, that comment is worthy of a most disdainful (and pitying) look, combined with a ve-e—ry pa-ti-en-t explanation for the dear and aged Mama who doesn’t Get It. Apparently the ONE thing that drives any Lego-er insane is never ever being able to find the right figure. And never being able to...
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 – 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 – World Atlas
I’ve been on the hunt for AGES for a really good Atlas to engross the children. And here it is. Barefoot Books have really got something special with this one – every page is beautiful, and interesting, and totally absorbing. Enough facts, broken up with enough pictures – the 4yr old enjoys this as much as the 10yr old does. And that’s no mean feat. The history of map-making was absorbed minutely by the 8yr...
