The awesome SleepPhones. Yes, they’re exactly like pyjamas for your ears – Christmas Gift Guide.
These. Are. Genius. Utterly utterly genius. All my children love to listen to audio books at bedtime – music too, for the teens. But if there’s one thing that’s a pain in the neck (well, ears anyway) it’s wearing headphones in bed, no? Lying anyway by flat on your back is uncomfortable, and even then the positioning is tricky – and if you move, they slip and you’ve lost the lovely waves of sound...
The Socks (No, really, stay with me. He’ll love this) – Christmas Gift Guide
I know what you’re thinking. Socks. REALLY? But for a joke I got this exact Drawer Filler ‘sock hamper’ for my husband last year. Possibly one of the Best Presents Ever. There are so many that you can’t help but laugh when you open them – and the socks are fabulous!

Doing Big Brother Kind Things and helping Pink create her fabulous squirrels and rabbits, he realised that Hama beads are totally...

Chocolates EVERYWHERE, mind; the thing is crammed to bursting with the special kind. And not just the cheapy toffee and strawberry cream excuses for chocolates either. Oh no – some...
Autumn Spotted – sweetest little wooden fox brooch, under £6!
Isn’t he just the sweetest little thing? It’d make me smile every time I checked the mirror if he was snoozing on my coat lapel. The wooden Fox Brooch was spotted in I Love Hearts NOTHS shop. And at this price, why on earth wouldn’t you snap him up?
What We Thought of the HP Slate 7.
During our road trip through France recently, we were fortunate enough to be reviewing the HP Slate 7. Well – I say ‘we’ in the loosest possible terms. What I mean is, I saw it briefly before it was whisked out of my hands, only to be returned once we were back in the UK. But actually – rather than resenting taking a screen with us as I thought I would, I was glad to have it along. Here is the Slate 7 – a...
