10 best: New books for under fives
It’s no secret that I’m a book geek. And, much to my delight, so is my little one. There are so many fabulous new titles either just out or imminent that I couldn’t just pick a couple to feature, so I thought I’d bring you a round-up of my favourites. First up is Stephen Savage’s […]
The Big Apple print by Dan Walters
Can’t believe I missed out on this one when I was compiling the New York-themed room ideas, but better late than never, eh? ‘This one’ is a gorgeously vibrant map of Manhattan (with Queens, Brooklyn and New Jersey thrown in for good measure) by Hampshire-based illustrator Dan Walters. As with many artworks, the devil’s in the […]
Pedlars enormous floor cushions
As you know, we adore a beanbag at BG but, if you’re not a fan, you might like to consider a floor cushion as an alternative for slouching. These two huge moleskin fellows from Pedlars are super-hot. I really can’t decide whether I prefer the retro 70s-ness of the rainbow one or the sheer quirkiness […]
First Look: LulaBunny clocks by Lulabird
For months we’ve been pestering Louise, the creator of retro inspired design brand Lulabird, because we’ve been eager to find out what she’d follow up her smash hit launch collection of clocks and wall art featuring owls, whales, blooms and ‘MooseBoy’ with. Finally it’s time to show off her LulaBunny clocks in bang on trend […]
Dupenny Circus Circus! wallpaper
I’ve become a bit of a wallpaper fanatic recently, so often find myself browsing for inspiration. I was excited to happen upon Brighton-based company Dupenny’s wonderful hand-printed papers. They specialise mainly in retro prints for grown-ups, but I spied this little gem, Circus Circus! in amongst the burlesque dancers and 50s housewives. Originally for a […]
Red Jelly Kids retro painting smock
I hope I’m not starting to sound smug about living in Brighton, but we really are spoiled by the number of great things for kids to do. Red Jelly Kids is one such thing – a creative play class for the under-sixes that lets them get down and dirty with paint, glue, glitter, jelly, water, […]
Sweet Home London personalised birthday card
It’s nearly Alfie’s 2nd birthday (yikes – where has the time gone?), so I’ve been looking out for a special card. Not on the High Street always gives good stationery and they’ve come up trumps again with this little treasure, £2.95, from Sweet Home London. I like the simplicity of the bus design, combined with […]

Fairtrade Fortnight: Weaving Hope
As we’re in the midst of Fairtrade Fortnight, I thought I’d share one of my favourite ethical children’s companies. Sri Lanka-based Weaving Hope is a community of women producing handwoven, hand-dyed cotton toys and accessories in an array of cheerful colours. Toys are largely animal-themed, and range from a baby turtle, £8.50, to this, frankly […]
Mouk
I was browsing the new season collections at The Hambledon when I noticed these gorgeous Mouk themed products. We fell in love with Mouk a couple of years ago when we featured Around the World with Mouk. The colourful detail packed illustrations of Mouk’s travels mean that even two years on there is still something […]
London Alphabet Print
With Lucy’s awesome ideas for a London themed room fresh in my mind it was instant attraction when I saw this London A – Z print. The print is a glorious hand drawn alphabet featuring London’s iconic landmarks and residents including the ever present rain. It is the work of British illustrator Kate Anniss who […]
Club Geluk
You know sometimes you find an online boutique where you want EVERYTHING? Well, say hello to Club Geluk, a Dutch label I happened upon while researching last week’s woodland theme post. I featured their super-cute duvet cover, but I couldn’t keep all the other goodies to myself, so here’s my pick of the current collection. […]
10 Best: Memory games
I’ve been ever so slightly obsessed with memory games ever since a design-conscious friend bought the Binth version, above, back from the US for Alfie. They’re a great way to stimulate your toddler’s brain and encourage learning and a brilliant opportunity to play together. Essentially, the game consists of a set of cards with images on […]
My Best Friend range from Designers Guild
Hot on the heels of Lucy’s inspired woodland-themed room ideas we were asked if we had come across any rugs which might compliment the look. A little digging and we quickly stumbled upon the new My Best Friend collection from Designers Guild with this delectable Little Owl rug. Not only is the pure wool rug […]
