Bestest Christmas Gift Guide – The Pabobo Dream Theater Night Light
Finding the right night light is a tricky thing, ins;’t it? You need something soft and soothing – but not too dim so that you can nappy change or soothe a poorly child without additional lighting. And settling a fretful small child is so much easier with some gently moving light to watch for sleepy eyes, I find. The Pabobo Dream Theater is one of the very best I’ve seen – I LOVE this little lamp! Firstly, the...
Bestest Christmas Gift Guide – Peppa Pig Jumping in Muddy Puddles
You just can’t go wrong with Peppa, can you? Tell me who DOESN’T love the show?! And I’m loving this year’s latest Peppa Pig toy – she actually jumps in puddles for real! Well. okay, not actually IN puddles – the puddle water might do her some damag. But she does actually jump! And whilst she’s jumping, she talks to – she has 4 phrases; ‘Oink, I love jumping in muddy...
Bestest Christmas Gift Guide – Sylvanian Families Log House

And there’s a clever little twist at the end to make a small child think, blink… and then want to read it again. But alongside the charming story run the...
Bestest Christmas Gift Guide – have you met AbeBooks? You MUST.
You kn0w how, sometimes, you come across a company or website that is so brilliantly perfectly simple that you are staggered that you never found it before? Well – AbeBooks is going to be one of THOSE moments for you. I found them through a newspaper article a couple of years ago – listing the 50 Books Every Child Should Read. Since then I’ve been a regular visitor, have never ever failed to be made happy –...
Bestest Christmas Gift Guide – LEGO Hero Factory
Way way back, many centuries ago, my then-7yr old son fell in love with LEGO Bionicles. Remember them? For my LEGO-mad boy, they were the ultimate in amazingness. Big robotic-looking creatures with an entire world created around them. the figures came in tubs, and were magnificent when arrayed along a shelf – and excellent to play with too, having jointed limbs and awesome weaponry involving waving ice swords and actually really...
