Bitzee – A Superior Interactive Pet! Who remembers when cyber pets came out for the first time? Tamagotchi launched theses new, exciting little toys in the mid nineties when I was about 16 and though I was definitely too old for toys (too cool as well), I couldn’t help but notice them with the rest of the world! Funny then that a couple of years ago they made a resurgence and I was super excited to get some for my […]

Hey Doodle! Have you heard of Hey Doodle? It’s probably the easiest, least messy way of colouring with little ones that you could imagine. A reusable silicon mat is rolled into a cardboard tube along with three felt tips for little ones to enjoy again, and again, and again! Posie has been sent the Into The Wild kit which is just one of 5, A4 size mats filled to the very edged with animal drawings waiting to be coloured in. […]
Wonderbly Personalised Books (For Grown Ups)! Wonderbly Peronsliased Books for children are very familiar to me. 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 […]
Orchard Toys Christmas Eve Box! I’m not sure where the idea for a Christmas Eve Box came in but we very firmly embraced it in our house and now, of course, it’s here to stay! We generally do a book, some pyjamas, a small stocking filler and a sweet treat so nothing big really but it builds the excitement and it’s the last offering from our elves before the big day and FC comes to visit. It also sits well […]
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. You will see on my Instagram stories that I wear it most days, a staple now and though I swim in it, shower while wearing it and rarely take it off for anything (I should take it off […]
Top Trumps – Christmas Gifts For The Whole Family! If you’ve not played Top trumps then where have you been? My lot love them, the boys and the girls (well, Posie might not it has to be said, she’s only 9 months old but if her siblings are anything to go by then I’m sure she will) and it’s not just the kids who are fans for the grown ups here love it too. It’s a really cool and easy […]

It’s that time of year when we have to get our thinking caps on and buy gifts for those we love and while that is such a joyous thing most of the time, often it can cause such anxiety. But it really doesn’t have to. if you’ve someone tricky to buy for or simply a friend you have no idea where to start on the choosing then I’ve just the plan for you. […]
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 […]
