Starting School: Lunch Boxes

With Milla starting school in little over a week I’m busy preparing uniform, kit, name-tapes *yawn yawn yawn* With no pencil case required I’m letting Milla express herself through her packed lunch.First up is something to carry everything in. Peanut & Pip have an amazing selection of lunch bags all of which are loved by [...]

Animal egg cups at Maiden

Boiled eggs + animals = winning combination.

New Belle & Boo goodies

Scream! I can’t get enough of Belle & Boo‘s retro stylings and the dynamic duo’s latest are no exception. Available in two designs, Pirate Party and Ava’s Tea Party, the tin lunchboxes are divine (and a mere £9) – how cute will Alfie look venturing to nursery with this? I am also snapping up a [...]

OXO Tot Sprout Highchair

   I’ve been a fan of OXO (yes the peeps behind Good Grips kitchen gear not the gravy cubes) for years (note if you’re on hols in the US you can pick up some great bargains) and have been majorly impressed with their OXO Tot range of well designed goodies for babies and toddlers. One [...]

Super Hot: New Bynto Goodbyn Lunchboxes

We’re major fans of Goodbyn lunchboxes which are recyclable, BPA and other dodgy stuff free and packed full of compartments with its own drinks bottle and stickers for customisation. That said, I was rather gleeful when I saw the new Bynto incarnations which are basically smaller three compartment lunchboxes (Goodbyns are huge) and still include [...]

Hot buy: Mothercare melamine Tutie Cutie breakfast set

Kat spied this mega-cute breakfast set (comprising plate, bowl, fork and spoon) over at Cloud Cuckoo Designs‘ blog, and I just had to share. The cheeky smiles and rosy cheeks of the strawberry and orange really reminds me of Paperchase’s Food Friends pattern, which can only be a good thing. Guess where it’s from? Go [...]

Cool melamine bowls & plates by Ebulobo

You know we’re weak for a spot of melamine dinnerware, so when these unbelievably cute pieces popped up in our inbox, we were bowled (yeah yeah couldn’t resist) over. French toymaker Ebulobo has used their characters Louloup Wolf, Little Bear and Little Red who usually adorn their toys to create playful bowls and plates all [...]

Doodle Tablecloth

I can’t decide whether I think this is a brilliant idea or a terrible one. Encouraging your children to draw on the table? Hmm. Foolish? Actually, I love it. Would save on the myriad of paper scraps cluttering up my kitchen at least. It goes like this. Draw or write on the cotton graph-paper pattern [...]

Skip Hop melamine plate & bowl sets

You know we’re weak for some cool melamine here at BG and combined with our love of all things Skip Hop, it’s taking serious restraint not to add this to our burgeoning collection of dining gear. Embracing the characters from their Zoo lunchies and backpacks, I think it goes without saying that while all are [...]

Kids Konserve Whimsy Snak Pak

  I see no reason why this fabulous lunch set should be the preserve of little ones – I’d be quite happy to cart the Snak Pak off to the office. Created by US company Kids Konserve, it comprises two leak-proof stainless steel pots with BPA-free plastic lids, a cloth napkin and a washable ‘Food [...]

Cool stainless steel cutlery for kids

There’s a glut of children’s cutlery on the market, but the majority of it is garish, plastic or plastered with cartoon characters. Oh for some simple, stylish, stainless steel sets… Lovers of design will be familiar with the name Arne Jacobsen, the Danish architect and designer responsible for such icons as the Ant and Egg chairs. [...]

Indiantale melamine tableware by Ella Doran for Habitat

Ella Doran + Habitat = one hot collaboration. The tableware queen has lent her enviable design skills to the high-street store with exciting results, on sale today. I love these Indiantale melamine cups and plates featuring either bird or tiger designs – a refreshing change from the insipid pastel cartoon characters so often found emblazoned [...]

Rice Melamine

I heart Rice. Simple as that, from the first time I clapped eyes on their brightly coloured homewares I was smitten. Despite being decidedly distinctive in style it doesn’t seem to turn your home into an identikit version of everyone else’s but brings quirk and colour into your life. I’m currently sat under a Rice [...]

Hope and Eden

I love happening across cool home-spun businesses and Hope & Eden is one such discovery. Inspired by her two daughters (you guessed it) Hope and Eden, the Chelsea School of Art-graduate owner (big yourself up and put your name on the site, lady!) started making soft toys to keep them company and the range grew [...]
