The Tartan Blanket Company My Grandma was Scottish and would have absolutely loved the blankets made by The Tartan Blanket Company. I could just see her with a traditional tartan check sat over her knee, in fact she must have had something similar because her picture pops into my mind every time I see one of the Tartan Blanket Company pictures on social media and I love that connection. The company is of course Scottish too, run by Emma and […]

Hape Musical Whale Fountain!

Co-Ord With Femme Luxe! As lockdown fashion continue we take our looks from inside to out and as a result are seeing more and more loungewear and co-ords becoming “out out” attire after being “in in” necessities.

Skip-Hop Zoo Snack Cup! Raffie was sent this gorgeous snack cup as part of the Skip-Hop Zoo range. He absolutely loves it and the best bit is he doesn’t spill – lift the fun lid and inside is a special inside opening that you can poke a chubby toddler hand in to fetch the contents but it does a darn good job of not letting chocolate raisins (as is Raffie’s wont) escape on their own! Looks pretty awesome too doesn’t […]
