Spotted! Canvas Leather Backpack perfect for summer trips

  Lookety look! A pretty canvas leather backpack! If there’s one thing that annoys me in the summer, it’s having to carry a handbag – you need a bag with you, but when you’re out and about adventuring, you want your hands free, don’t you? but backpacks are inherently ugly, so I usually make do with a lovely messenger bag (which is actually just too small for purse/keys/phone/sunglasses, never mind...

Ragtales – Beautiful Toys with a Beautiful Story

AS you can imagine, we have been sent a LOT of of soft toys over the years. I once tried to add up the value of all the soft toys in the daughter’s then-five-yr-old bedroom. It frankly made my eyes water. We’ve been sent toys by the biggest high street giants, and tiny little handmade gems by Etsy sellers. We’ve got a 5′ rabbit (named FluffyWully. Don’t ask.), and an entire house full of small Maileg...

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...

Sending Flowers Internationally with FloraQueen | Review

I have a very dear friend who lives a very long way away – far too far away for me to pop in for a coffee with when she’s in need. I’ve been promising flowers to her for a very long time. Recently she’s had more than her fair share of rubbishness, and I felt the time had come to actually send her some real life daisies, rather than the cyber picture kind. So when Floraqueen asked if they could send me a...
