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 [...]

September 1, 2010 by Natalie · Leave a Comment 

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, [...]

I’m hearting this Mr Moustache mobile by Jäll & Tofta which pays homage to the ‘tache in wonderful fashion. Made from 100% recycled paper and nut veneer, it’s a clever eco friendly buy that will be right at home in a contemporary nursery. $29 (Etsy) plus $5 shipping to the UK. via Inhabitots

While there’s now plenty of choice on the market when it comes to wall stickers, we still get excited when we see clever designs like the brilliant range at Hu2 Design. All of the vinyl stickers are removable and made in the UK, and hot pieces include the animal world map in a contemporary mix [...]

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 [...]

Good things come to those who wait – I have been looking out for these wooden alphabet stamps for months as they kept being sold out! I’m a big fan of Edinburgh based illustrator and designer Alice Melvin, who like us, is also partial to an owl and she’s got this scrumptious set of A-Z [...]

New Shop Alert! Snugg Nightwear

August 26, 2010 by Natalie · Leave a Comment 

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

August 26, 2010 by Natalie · 1 Comment 

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 [...]

Cool Link: Homemade Toys & Games Craft Inspiration from Martha Stewart

August 25, 2010 by Natalie · Leave a Comment 

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, [...]
