Baby Sheets Like You’ve Never Seen Before | Magnus & Mouse

When you’re kitting out your baby’s nursery, it’s easy to overlook the cot sheets. I mean, a sheet’s a sheet, right? Wrong. Until I’d stumbled across the 100% organic fitted cotton sheets from super-chic baby brand Magnus & Mouse I poured scorn on the thought of spending anything over £15 on cot sheets. But that was before. Imagine sleeping on the very best Egyptian cotton in a five star hotel and then returning to threadbare,...

Spotted! Canvas Leather Backpack perfect for summer trips

  Lookety look! A pretty canvas leather backpack! If there’s one thing that annoys me in the summer, it’s having to carry a handbag – you need a bag with you, but when you’re out and about adventuring, you want your hands free, don’t you? but backpacks are inherently ugly, so I usually make do with a lovely messenger bag (which is actually just too small for purse/keys/phone/sunglasses, never mind...

Ragtales – Beautiful Toys with a Beautiful Story

AS you can imagine, we have been sent a LOT of of soft toys over the years. I once tried to add up the value of all the soft toys in the daughter’s then-five-yr-old bedroom. It frankly made my eyes water. We’ve been sent toys by the biggest high street giants, and tiny little handmade gems by Etsy sellers. We’ve got a 5′ rabbit (named FluffyWully. Don’t ask.), and an entire house full of small Maileg...

Mug For Life | Father’s Day Gift Ideas

We properly LOVE Mug For Life – and their Tea Lovers Gift Pack is genius. We bought the boxed gift set for the tea-mad 15yr old at Christmas, and it as properly amazing – he drinks a fair few mugs a day, sitting at his desk; which means a fair few mugs-worth of sloshes and drips up the stairs (and a few spills across the keyboard…). But no more! The ONLY mug he’s allowed to take upstairs is his Mug for Life...

Binary Code Geeks Leather Keyring | Father’s Day Gift Ideas

Oh it might be a bit wrong to love this geeks leather keyring quite so much. But telling your dad you love him in BINARY? Genius. The binary code message translates to “love you dad”. All manner of awesomeness. A not-at-all-embarassing key ring in Real Man Leather, a secret coded message, geek-happy binary AND swooshes of love and kisses every time he rummages for his keys. Spotted over on the fabulous Man Gun Bear site,...

Sending Flowers Internationally with FloraQueen | Review

I have a very dear friend who lives a very long way away – far too far away for me to pop in for a coffee with when she’s in need. I’ve been promising flowers to her for a very long time. Recently she’s had more than her fair share of rubbishness, and I felt the time had come to actually send her some real life daisies, rather than the cyber picture kind. So when Floraqueen asked if they could send me a...
