We have been luck enough to work with them on a gifted basis many times and are also customers having been introduced to the brand and now, their latest offering, invited grown ups into the fun too! Raffie thoroughly enjoys his “Where Are You Raffie Knowles” book by Wonderbly which is a gorgeous book full of stories and fun with each chapter finishing with […]
Stocking Fillers For Little Boys! We are struggling a little when it comes to gifts for Raffie. It’s literally JUST been his birthday and he has ALL the toys he can handle yet he’d be so unexcited to be given clothing it’s a bit of a mine field. I want him to feel special on Christmas Day and to soak up the magic. 5 years old is just the right age to immerse yourself but I don’t want to buy […]

Merci Maman Personalised Mother Of Pearl Spinning Ring! Just after Posie was born I worked with boutique jewellery makers Merci Maman, who specialise in personalised jewellery, whereby they sent me the most gorgeous necklace with all of my children’s names on it.

Draper James Nightwear At Lands End! Have you heard of Draper James? It’s the Reese Witherspoon designed collection at Lands End and I was lucky enough to be sent some of the new nightwear collection to try for myself. New to Lands End as a shopper I found myself sucked into a bit of a vortex perusing their many ranges and had to pull myself back to the DJ collection after a massive rabbit hole. They sell so many lovely […]
Wonderbly Books At Christmas! I wrote about our first taste of Wonderbly books a while back, how impressed we were with what’s far more than a personalised story book, and that we found so many fantastic elements to the gorgeous stories we read. We thoroughly recommended them as they are just so much more interesting than most personalised books which can often be a bit nothing when it comes to the actual content. I’ve found, over the years, when we […]
Tonie Starter Set For Christmas! One of the greatest things we can give our children are stories to fall asleep to. Read to them, read with them and teach then to read themselves and they have a whole new world opened up to them through story – reading and being read to is one of the greatest pleasures in life don’t you think? My Daddy is a wonderful story reader, when I was little he would read me books and […]
