Valentines – Now these are what I call Chocolates
Hard as it may be to believe, I’m not much of a chocolates kind of girl. And heart-shaped chocolates for valentines? Please. WAY too obvious – and about as original as red roses. But… sometimes, shocking as it may seem, I can be wrong. Because actually, there’s never anything bad about being given flowers. Ever. And if the right chocolates are in the right heart-shaped box? They can be Pretty Perfect. Rather...

Laura Ashley Tartan Throw – I failed the challenge, but I don’t really care because it’s Just Perfect
When Laura Ashley challenged us to find a ‘different’ use for one of their throws, I immediately said yes. I mean – it’s an amazing soft, cotton-mix throw, how hard could it be. Well. I admit it.

I thought about...
Town House Giant Hama Beads Gift Box – Christmas Gift Guide
Has your house been hit by Hama yet? We managed to escape it with the three older boys – but now we seem to always have small crunchy beads underfoot (I didn’t realise until this morning that they are completely safe should they be swallowed! Good news for the dog then…). And I LOVE the stillness that descends when the Hama is out and concentration settles as creations are made. This Giant set is a fab one too...
Mighty Mug (anyone with a desk NEEDS this mug. Powered by magic it is)
So far this year I have killed a keyboard, a mouse, a Wacom Pen Tablet (*cries* that was an expensive death) and countless pieces of Very Important paperwork.How? Coffee. I know, I admit it.I. Am. Clumsy. Having a mug of coffee on my desk is like an open invitation for a hot brown liquid lake to launch itself at the nearest Important Thing. If it’s connected to an electrical supply? So much the better. So imagine my glee when I...
The New Lottie Dolls – have you seen? The Very Best Dolls For Young Girls – Christmas Gift Guide
I am a huge huge HUGE fan of the Lottie Doll. Have you seen them? Super-cute little play dolls – who all look… like little girls. Gone are the impressive adult breasts, tucked in waists, super-long legs, high heels and mini skirts. In their place? Lottie has a… normal body. She looks like any other girl does. She doesn’t wear makeup, jewellery or high heels – she can stand on her own two feet (as they say,...
