Lego 6860 – The Bat Cave. *meep*
Not to say we’re big fans of LEGO in this house, but if you look at this picture here… See those white tubs stacked up? They’re ALL full of LEGO. Oh yes. So when the Son asked for yet ANOTHER set for his birthday we may have rolled our eyes and huffed a little… but of course we gave in. Because really, there’s no other toy we’d rather buy. Nothing else has the play value, the durability, the...
Gorgeously Practical Maternity Coat from Vertbaudet
When I first found I was pregnant with baby #2 and my regular clothes started to nip in places they hadn’t before, my first stop was to search out my “pregnant” clothes from last time round. I despaired! Have styles and fashions (and my tastes!) REALLY changed that much in just 3 short years?! Er, yes. They have. So, it was back to the drawing board for my 9 month stretch in maternity wear. This is where the lovely Laura steps in and...
Just The BEST Wellies for children. Rainbow Striped Wellington Boots? Yes please.
Usually we’d do a good long fulsome review of a product. But these Molo Striped Wellies sent us by Little Stomper? We just need to show you them, we think. How gorgeous are they? Very, that’s how. The daughter even yelped and hugged them when she opened the box (she’s a girl and she’s 5. Striped wellies are about as Good As It Gets). She may actually never step foot out of doors with any other footwear on...
LEGO – where did it all go wrong?
There has been much talk on many blogs over recent weeks over the new LEGO Friends. I’m not going to start yet another blithering on the ghastly hideousness of the stereotyping subject matter of these sets – suffice to say that it’s just… bad. But I do want to say something quite important. This… … is not a LEGO set. Sorry, but it’s not. It’s a small figure playset, for sure, but what...
Spotted! Personalised Mugs. Good Ones.
This is a bit more than a Spotted! item. Sometimes we come across a product that we just happen to love – so we talk about them. I’ve used YourDesign a number of times, and they are unfailingly excellent. The above mug is the (rather ridiculous) one I bought for Fathers day a couple of years ago – and it is still in use every single day. Father Christmas bought one for No.1 son this Christmas – he’s far...
Bic’s wipeboard for children? Under £4? Brilliant, that’s what it is.
We love this little board. We SO do. Pone side is squared graph paper, and the other side is blank. There is a clip at the top which is a rubber and also a clip for the pen. Simple, neat and SO handy. I have a 5yr old girl, and she loves or draw and write. Constantly and endlessly. And I know she’s not alone in her obsession. But keeping up with it in terms of paper is hideousness – a problem which this board neatly...
