Bestest Christmas Gift Ideas No.20 – totally fab Wooden Bow and Arrows set
How cool is this: real old fashioned fun with this wooden bow and arrows set. The bow has been reinforced in the central section to help prevent snapping if pulled too far back and it even has a central guide hole to assist with lining up arrows. I have it on the very best finally-grown-out-of-his authority that this is an ace version! And at £11.50 it’s a bargainous price too. We just love Berry Red (could an online shop feel...
Bestest Christmas Gift Ideas No.16 – Refreshing Tea mug
Mugs are such handy ‘small’ christmas gifts – and this one is such a nice shape too! Very retro 50’s styling, it would make me happy greeting me every morning. And unusually for my (big, bucket-like) mugs, my Mum would love to drink form this one too. Have a nose round Hunkydory Home while you’re there – we’ve talked about these small duvets before, but i just wanted to provide a little nudge...
Bestest Christmas Gift Ideas No.12 – Dancing Mice melamine gift set
Look look look. Dancing mice. Pink ribbons. Emma Bridgewater. What’s not to love? Ella has this set, and it makes us both very happy. Enough said.
The Ultimate Girls Tutu

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...
