Mighty Mug (anyone with a desk NEEDS this mug. Powered by magic it is)
So far this year I have killed a keyboard, a mouse, a Wacom Pen Tablet (*cries* that was an expensive death) and countless pieces of Very Important paperwork.How? Coffee. I know, I admit it.I. Am. Clumsy. Having a mug of coffee on my desk is like an open invitation for a hot brown liquid lake to launch itself at the nearest Important Thing. If it’s connected to an electrical supply? So much the better. So imagine my glee when I...
The New Lottie Dolls – have you seen? The Very Best Dolls For Young Girls – Christmas Gift Guide
I am a huge huge HUGE fan of the Lottie Doll. Have you seen them? Super-cute little play dolls – who all look… like little girls. Gone are the impressive adult breasts, tucked in waists, super-long legs, high heels and mini skirts. In their place? Lottie has a… normal body. She looks like any other girl does. She doesn’t wear makeup, jewellery or high heels – she can stand on her own two feet (as they say,...
The awesome SleepPhones. Yes, they’re exactly like pyjamas for your ears – Christmas Gift Guide.

There are so many that you can’t help but laugh when you open them – and the socks are fabulous! Really good Jeep socks, and a whole range of types from thick woolly wellie socks down to thin black dress socks. It’s a perfect...
Hama Beads – Brilliant Minecraft Inspired Geek Craft!
I have a sneaky thing to tell you whilst No.1 son is not looking. He has been stealing the 6yr old’s Hama beads. Oh yes he has. He makes her very cross, stealing all her brown and black and green beads. Why on earth is the almost-15yr old stealing her Hama beads? I’ll show you… Genius, no? Doing Big Brother Kind Things and helping Pink create her fabulous squirrels and rabbits, he realised that Hama beads are totally...
Giant Table Cracker – amazing from Hotel Chocolat | Pre-Christmas Shopping
We LOVE Hotel Chocolat (come on, who doesn’t??), and this giant table cracker is simply a work of genius. Never mind the individuals, this thing is HUGE and looks amazing as a centrepiece 9and yes – you really can pull it. We tried. Chocolates EVERYWHERE, mind; the thing is crammed to bursting with the special kind. And not just the cheapy toffee and strawberry cream excuses for chocolates either. Oh no – some...
