KitchenAid Stand Mixers are 30% off at House of Fraser – under £350!

If, like me, you’re lucky enough to already have one, then you’ll know how lovely they are. Mine’s called Doris, she’s candy apple red, has pride of place on the work surface, and gets a loving pat on her beautiful soft round curves on a regular basis when I’m passing.

To me, though, they were oh-so-familiar; totally harking back to the trainers which graced my own small feet back in the early 80’s. I love...

Spotted! No, Really – Retro Spotted Egg Cups!

*swoons happily* Aren’t these just beeyootiful? I just spotted these gorgeous gorgeous little set of stoneware retro egg cups over at Dexam – and I was in love before I noticed they were in the sale. I mean, come on. At £15 they were delicious. At half price they’re a total steal, and frankly it’s a moral obligation to buy yourself a set.

Spotted! SUPER Adorable Crocodile toy – under £10 AND Fair Trade too!

I know it’s not your average baby soft toy. But LOOK at these gorgeous crocs! Irresistibly bright and cheery, soft with textures and handily chewable flappy bits, and the absolute perfect shape for small hands to grab and carry. And on top of all that, he’s good for your conscience too – Cushy the crocodile (Cushy? He looks far more like a Stanley to me, personally) is the newest addition to Barefoot’s range of...
