FIMO kids form & play

I cannot wait to sit down and try these kits with the children next week! Even though mine are no longer toddlers, they still can’t resist the lure of playdough or plasticine – but do get a little tired of spending an hour or two creating something amazing… only for it to be squashed back ionto the tubs at the end of the session. So these Fimo kits are a godsend. Form&play is a combination of modelling and...

The Gift of Time This Christmas with Vileda

I know, I know. Vileda aren’t usually the first brand that crosses your mind when you think Christmas, are they (mine would be more “mmmm… Tiffany…”)?

Razer introduces the Naga Epic Chroma Mouse for wireless MMO gaming – Christmas Gift Guide

I know – it took me a while to get it too. Just as a keyboard for me is for tapping to make letters appear in your screen, a mouse is for swooshing around the desk to get to where you want to go. But no. I have been taught the error of my ways by my gamer teens. A mouse and keyboard are so very much more. I didn’t really buy into it… until I sat and watched them play. THEN I got it. Honestly – the way their...

All I want for Christmas… is these Kickers | Christmas Gift Guide

It’s no secret that we LOVE Kickers. Ever since my own teens I have wanted a pair of Kickers of my own. My children have all worn them… which has done nothing to assuage my own yearning, obviously, and has simply proved to me how great they are (they’re fabulous kids shoes – well constructed, roomy, sturdy and robust).
