September 3, 2010 by Natalie · Leave a Comment
Last year I featured some very cool tree stump floor pillows and now thanks to BG reader Ellie, we’ve discovered another Etsy delight, these wood log bolsters by Hong Kong based crafter Nature of Sin Lane. The design imitates a cottonwood tree bitten down by beavers and even though your eyes may tell you that [...]
STUVA Storage by Ikea
September 2, 2010 by Natalie · Leave a Comment
It’s been a while coming but it’s a relief to see that Ikea has injected some new kids storage furniture into their latest range. Keeping it simple as always and available in several colourways (although white actually looks the best), I’m liking the STUVA range for its understated appeal that invites you to hide away [...]

Longtime readers will know I’m mega partial to pop art designer Clifford Richards whose work is on display at the V&A and he’s also got a great range of toys and accessories. He’s also the person behind these solar powered night lights made from mostly recycled and also recyclable powder coated steel. There’s an elephant, [...]

Reusable Finger Spoons
August 31, 2010 by Natalie · Leave a Comment
As someone who can be a bit funny about eating food with her fingers, I can appreciate quirky products like these reusable finger spoons. Aside from letting you dip your finger in safely for a quick taste, it gives a whole new meaning to eating with your fingers for kids who still like to get [...]

As I’ve discovered with a lot of things about buying kids goodies, you can get very particular about what you buy – it’s what fuels Bambino Goodies! Pyjamas are definitely one of those things where we have tended to favour Gap and Swedish high street favourite Polarn O.Pyret, plus I know quite a few people [...]
Great Autumn/Winter Coat Hunt ’10: Molo Castor Anorak
It wouldn’t be the great autumn winter coat hunt without Danish superbrand Molo in it! Every year they bring functional, super stylish standout jackets that almost have you begging for the cold to arrive. Their Castor anoraks are for the child who romps around outdoors rain, hail, or shine and wants to be shielded from [...]
The Pushchair Track: Maclaren Yellow Submarine Buggy
August 26, 2010 by Natalie · Leave a Comment
There’s no prizes for guessing that the latest incarnation of the Quest pushchair from Maclaren is inspired by The Beatles ‘Yellow Submarine’ classic. Even with colder days ahead, the pushchair is a burst of signature sunshine yellow and has an embroidered liner which is also reversible to a very Austin Powers-esque psychedelic print. The hood [...]

I admit to being a tad partial to homemaker mogul Martha Stewart and I’m loving her (or should I say her teams) nineteen crafting ideas for homemade toys and games in her Martha’s Crafts for Kids special. They have varying degrees of difficulty with most fairly easy to put together and although it’s got some [...]
Object of Desire: Clexo Play Table
August 25, 2010 by Natalie · Leave a Comment
I love the stunning, playful design of the Clexo Play Table, a birch and beech plywood table and chair combined to have your child sit comfortably with the table handily tilted towards them while their feet rest on the height-adjustable footrests. Featuring two cup holders and a padded cotton seat that comes in red, blue, [...]
