US
Fear not! We can help. That’s what we do here at Bambino Goodies. We’ve been taking the legwork out of tracking down cool buys for under sevens and their families for over seven years and have tempted hundreds of thousands of people with our finds, as well as providing oodles of inspiration. We’re Lu and Claire, and we’re passionate about family living, design, style and showing support to independent retailers, designers and brands. Through Bambino Goodies, we connect our loyal and ever-growing band of followers with well-designed, stylish, practical, playful, and often ethical, buys as well highlighting fun things to do, places to go, things to make and inspiring family living ideas.
With backgrounds in media, publishing and design, not only do we share our finds daily here on the site, but we also educate wannabe store owners and fledgling brands via BG School. Our flagship course, So, You Want to Open an Online Shop? offers creative and practical tips, tools and support to help people with big dreams turn their ideas into concept stores with heart and soul. To learn more and get your business idea off the ground, get in touch. In December 2014, we took our own advice and branched out into online retail – check out our store Shop Bambino Goodies, packed with goodies from independent designers, alongside our BG own label creations.

Lu Davies lives happily by the sea in Brighton with husband, Harry, son Alfie (8), daughter Kitty (5) and Peggy the dog. She has over fifteen years experience as a staffer on glossy magazines, with thirteen of those at Marie Claire. She started coolhunting and writing for Bambino Goodies as a sideline eight years ago, while pregnant, and never left. A self-confessed word nerd, she’s well versed in using language to sell and market and can spot a misplaced apostrophe from 100 paces. Evelyn Waugh novels and all things 1930s, Zoe & Morgan jewellery, cocktails by the sea, Wes Anderson films and silent disco camping parties all make her smile.
Claire Archbold is a happy mama-to-two living in Southsea on the south coast with her sailor husband Phil. When she’s not running around after Lola (7), Finn (3), Rubble the dog and her bunny King Fluffy Pants, she’s coolhunting for her ever-growing blog portfolio. Claire is a project manager and social media strategist by trade. She’s worked successfully in the public and private sectors for over 17 years managing projects and has worked with social media since 2009. Claire joined the BG team in 2011 after being an avid reader since the birth of her daughter. Her favourite things are walking along the beach, photographing people, festivals and gigs, lazy evenings reading and sampling the finest cocktails…
