Victor & Susie

Victor & Susie is a children’s book about friendship and compassion, illustrated entirely with letters and punctuation marks. As a self-confessed big softie and word geek, Brighten the Corners’ heartwarming tale went straight onto my wish list. Although the 72 pages of recovered paper are sleek enough to sit happily on mum and dad’s art [...]

Little Green Radicals Omama Bodysuit

Natalie writes… I’m not a slogan person myself so the bambino’s wardrobe has managed to be slogan free, but I know that a lot of people are. As always, if you’re going down the slogan route, keep it cool! I couldn’t help but like this Obama inspired fairtrade ‘Omama’ bodysuit by ethical brand, Little Green [...]

Aimed at [...]

Each set has a Spoonosaurus and Tricerfork. Certainly an unusual cutlery set to liven up mealtimes! £12.99 from ShinyShack These make great giflts including stocking fillers.

Review: Skibz

Natalie writes… I wrote about Skibz a little while back and recently received one for the bambino to try out. Now admittedly, I thought the bambino was beyond wearing a bib outside of dinnertimes, so I was sceptical about how useful it would be. How wrong I was! The concept: Skibz are basically a half [...]

Manuella Design Backpacks

Natalie writes… Whenever the bambino is out and about, strolling with her Little Life Animal Daysack, people always comment on it and ask where we got it from and I know as she gets older, she’ll have other bags in her collection because she’ll be like her mum with a multitude of bags. I don’t [...]

Natalie writes… Ah…sigh…I’ve found another fabulous vintage and retro haunt where I will be snapping up some birthday gifts for my mum and forcing myself to resist  shopping for myself or the bambino… I love these limited edition handmade Ollie Owl cushions which are handmade making each one unique and they’re really reasonable, £14.99 for [...]
