Dear Parents, Even Your Non-Gamer Teens Need A Gaming Laptop
You may of course own a Gamer Teen like me – one who has been wailing for months that she neeeeds a new PC (but seriously – where are you going to PUT one?). Or your teen (and you) may think Steam is simply what makes creases come out of clothes (and concentrated-chicken-poo-dog-sick come out of the carpet…).Either way, they Need A Gaming Laptop. So we need to make a few things clear. Firstly – Gen Z teens NEED...
Plain Lazy MEGA £10 sale on!
We LOVE Plain Lazy. And I admit it – we owed them a review back in June for their properly awesome ‘The World’s Your Lobster’ tee. The husband love sit. But I failed to write about it. And now they don’t have any in stock. Which is sad, because it’s awesome… So awesome he took a rare selfie of himself in it… But it’s not all sadness. No no no. Because Plain Lazy are in the...
Spotted! Fabulous Wildwood Fox Mug from Magpie

Element Iridium 820 Gaming Mouse Review
Gaming Mice are a new creature for most parents. I mean – a mouse is a mouse, right? It has two clicky buttons, one left, one right, and allows you to control the computer with point-and-click awesomeness. Yuh. Wrong. Because if you own a teen gamer, a simple left-click-right-click option isn’t going to cut it. Oh no no. They need programmable shortcut profile buttons, adjustable hand fit and a really good DPI...
Element Thorium 300 Gaming Keyboard – Review
Gaming Keyboards – until it appears on a birthday or Christmas wish-list, most parents won’t even know that such a thing exists. But once you’re a parent of a teen gamer, it’s very difficult to get away from them. And then you’re faced with buying one – and not only are they a baffling thing to purchase wisely for a non-gamer type, but they’re also an expensive way to buy a keyboard. So when...
Batman Moleskine – Finally, a notebook for boy teens #BackToSchool
Tomorrow my boy starts school. No, he’s not five; No.1 turned 16 in January, and after two years of Home Ed he’s re-entering the system for his A levels. So the last few weeks have been a weird combination of grumpy denial (I do NOT like being retsricted to school term dates again!), floating sadness (we’re going to miss hi and his mugs of tea) and excited preparations. About the only things we’ve not had to...
