Coats for Teen Boys – What A Nightmare (but we FOUND one!)
Clothing teenage boys is a standard parenting horror show of course – I’ve written recently about finding jeans to fit their weird man-child body shape, when they streak upwards but not outwards in their early teens. And then there’s the whole “I don’t like the way that looks/feels/has sleeves/has no hood/isn’t three sizes too big”. Total minefield. But then.. there’s The Coat Battle....
So They want A Gaming Mouse? | Razer Basilisk Review
A ‘Gaming Mouse’ is one of those things that many parents will raise an eyebrow at. To us, a mouse is for swooshing around the desk to get to where you want to go. That works for whatever you’re doing on the screen, doesn’t it? Well… no. Not really. I have been taught the error of my ways by my gamer teens. A mouse and keyboard are so very much more. Spend a little time watching your gamer team in the...
Pud In A Mug? Yes. Keep ‘Em If You Can. *hollow laugh*
A few weeks ago now we were asked if we’d like to try the new Pud In A Mug range. I’ll be honest – I said we’d give it a go (because, y’know. Pud. IN a mug.), but my hopes were not high. I figured this would be the sweet equivalent to an instant soup – hot, but a bit.. blah. They arrived in their unassuming little sachets, and I stashed them in the cupboard next to the baked beans. Where they were...
Perfect Autumn Essentials – Pretty Jeans & Comfy Boots from Next
Autumn is probably my favourite time of year to dress for – and my daughter appears to have inherited my enthusiasm.

Well, to be fair, she’s probably grown at least 6″ since last November, and none of her leftover winter wardrobe...
Great Earbuds – Noise-cancelling, waterproof, wireless AND REDUCED from £144 to under £35? Yes!
Just to let you know, if you buy something we feature on LittleStuff, we •may• earn an affiliate commission. Come on, we own three teenagers plus a fast-growing pre-teen. Headphones are not only their lifeblood accessory, but they also mean a far more harmonious house for the parents too (I grew up as one of four, and I well remember the Saturday mornings when we all had our own record players or tape decks at top volume, trying to...
Stop Your Phone Being Hacked – our top tips
I’m sure we all remember Three Mobile was hacked last year, and the supposedly-safe data of more than six million customers was compromised. Hacking is a very real concern; not just for big companies but for all of us at the small phone-in-your-bag level. My personal bank details have been hacked three times in the last two years, and I’m often nervous that I’m not taking extra steps to protect my phone the way I do...
