Christmas Shopping (I know, I know. Sorry).
And Before Christmas Shopping too. For the next week or so we’re talking about Pre-Christmas Christmas Shopping. You know, the stuff you need BEFORE you get on with the other stuff. Advent calendars, stockings, decorations… You can see what we talked about last year if you visit our Pre-Christmas Christmas Shopping page – there’s stacks of lovelies in there to get your seasonal teeth into. Once we’ve...
The Bestest Christmas Gift Guide #28 – There Are Cats…
There are Cats ……..in this book. And they are of the very best seriously sensible, naughty, purr-ey, hidey sort. I bought this book on a whim – at £2.45 it was hardly going to break the bank, and seemed like a good stocking filler. When it arrived, I flipped through it, like you do. And despite being all alone in an empty house, I actually laughed out loud. Not smiling with a huffey sort of noise, not an amused...
The Bestest Christmas Gift Guide #26 – Jonnys Sisters Letters
Don’t forget these gorgeous lovelies from Jonnys Sister. Only they’re not His Sisters. Or, in fact, Jonnys. They’re mine. Or yours. Or whomever you buy them for, presumably. Gorgeous, lovely, wonderful, sweetly delicious letters. Simple, stylish and just wonderful. Can you tell I have a bit of a soft spot for ours? You can read why I love Jonnys Sister here – but honestly, they are very special, and the sort of...
The Bestest Christmas Gift Guide #27 – Christmas Maileg Mouse! *Squee!*
Yes, yes, I know, Maileg Mice. Again. But Look! They have Christmas Hats! SUCH a perfect thing in a certain Big Long Fillable Sock. There’s a baby girl or baby boy mouse each in its own seasonal matchbox (complete with mattress, pillow and blanket as always). Oh and the festive hats are removable, so you won’t have Christmas Mice in July, honest! (you might also want to take a peek at the really VERY special Mama Mouse. Or...
The Bestest Christmas Gift Guide #22 – The Lego Torch makes us *happy*
Oh how utterly brilliant this torch is! We’ve had him on review for a while now, and I can honestly say he’s… brilliant. I’ve found children’s torches can be a bit hit-and-miss, so often the designers opting for appeal over praciticality. But this Lego torch has both by the bucket load! Firstly, he’s BIG – 20cm. You just can’t lose him very easily. Secondly his lights in his feet are...
The Bestest Christmas Gift Guide #20 – Look, a new ‘My Fairy’ Pop Up Book! Woot!
I have said it before, and I will no doubt say it again. I LOVE this series of books! There is something endearingly charming about Louise Comforts illustrations, and the detail that goes into the eneromous pop-up ability is just perfect. Opened up fully, they create a large circle – the best method of attack is for you to tie the covers back on themselves, lie on the carpet with the book and simply immerse yourself utterly in...
