Personalised Books – tacky, yes?
I thought so. I really did. I fell for the personalised thing with the first child (Chrsitmas songs about you from Coco the Clown, anyone?), but ever since have firmly stuck to my guns and said a big fat NO. But then I got offered a book from Itsyourstory. Which I didn’t answer, if I’m honest. But the PR was lovely, and bit persuasive, and assured me I would love it. More importantly Pink would adore it. So I succumbed,...
Klean Kanteen – have you seen?
We all know we need to get the children to drink more water yes? And we all know how hideous plastic is, yes? I know, it’s cheap and easy, but all those water bottles – I hate them. Such a waste. And there’s the scary-mary stories about plastic too ( I was going to link to some BPA/cancer/antimony stories there, but when I googled I got all afeared to go read the gazillion scare stories, and ran away quick)....

But we were initially concerned about spending a lot of money on something they’d no doubt lose or break inside 3 weeks, so we bought the cheapest we could find (£7 max). When they worked, they were ace, but all too frequently they freeze or crash, or batteries need replacing, or the music needs updating as they...

Safe childrens headphones – fab!
Finally! Headphones actually designed with children in mind! I won’t let mine wear the in-ear buds that came with their MP3 players, but I still worry that without constant monitoring (and often with it) they’ll have them up too loud and damage their ears. So when JVC contacted me about these new specially-designed 3+ headphones with correct sizing, lightweight super-soft padding AND noise limitation, I jumped at the...
