So, I’ve decided to feature something Brighton-y every day this week as Monday and yesterday strangely panned out that way anyway. Today is the turn of The Sundae Club, a Brighton institution, held over all the floors of The Komedia. We went to one back in June and the amount of stuff to do was […]

Mini Rodini Resort Collection
[slideshow_deploy id=’73679′] Off for some winter sun? No, us neither. Never mind, you can still pretend by buying a piece from Mini Rodini’s Resort Collection for your little one. The theme is cats (so I surely have to bag something for Kitty) and you’ll find everything from shorts to baseball jackets with black cats, cat […]
Festive 10 Best: Advent Calendar Fillers
If you’ve bought or made a fillable advent calendar, you’re going to need something to put in it. You can, of course, put chocolates in, but it’s a great opportunity to build a playset. Here’s some inspiration for you. Vintage Lego Fabuland figures Last year, after spotting Fabuland figures on boutique Cissy Wears’ Instagram, I snapped […]

We are always on the hunt for great party bag fillers and favours which wont break the bank but the kids will love. There are loads out there to choose from, including brilliant books, cool crafts, wonderful wands (a personal favourite which we used for Lola’s party) and themed mask sets. Here are some of our […]
Inspiration: Lola’s tat-free Frozen party
Having a Frozen-obsessed four-year-old who begged for a Frozen-themed party is enough to give most parents the shivers, let alone one who writes about stylish stuff for kids! However, her wish is my command so off I went to find Frozen minus the tat, but still in budget! And I think we managed it quite well. […]
Party Animals partyware from Ketchup on Everything

I’m definitely going to be nabbing a few of these for the pressie box (look away now, friends and family). The fabulous Okido folk have come up with this brilliant box featuring six (count ’em) board games, complete with counters and spinner. The games are aimed at age 4+, for two to six players and explore educational themes in […]

Mini Rodini new collection
Oh Mini Rodini, we wish you had dropped the August/Winter collection a little earlier. It would have been perfect for Camp Bestival’s circus theme round up we collated – clowns, weight lifters, zebras, perfect! The A/W ’14 collection Quel Carrousel is inspired by the life and people behind the circus. As always, a large number of sustainable materials and pieces made from GOTS and Fairtrade […]

Inspiration: Finn’s train 1st Birthday party
My baby boy has just turned one. To celebrate we held a train themed picnic party. Five minutes from our house is ride on model railway run by Portsmouth Model Engineering Society which was the inspiration for the party. I popped over and had a chat with them to see if they could do something for […]
Inspiration: Kitty’s butterfly party
If you follow me on Instagram you’ll have seen pics from Kitty’s naming day and know it was a butterfly themed bash. It was a bit of a last-minute decision to have a theme, to be honest, and fuelled entirely by my discovery of the edible butterflies for the cake, but I found plenty of […]
Covetable: Stella McCartney Kids Maleficent collection
Fed up with Frozen yet? Move over Elsa, there’s another anti-heroine in town, filling cinema screens with the impeccably chiselled cheekbones of Angelina Jolie. To mark the recent release of Disney’s Maleficent (the back story of the wicked queen in Sleeping Beauty), Stella McCartney Kids has a capsule collection of high-end fancy dress/themed clothing. It’s not […]
Melvin the Monkey at Tate
We’re very fond of Claudia Boldt’s Melvin the Luckiest Monkey in the World (Tate Publishing, RRP £8.99), so it was great to see Tate’s exclusive range of Melvin-themed products. I particularly like the stacking boxes, £17.50, but there are also pencil sets, from £5, stickers, £3.50, placemats, £15, and the cutest oilcloth bag, featuring Melvin […]
Little Red Stuga Buclo in new colours
These are just super cool. We first featured Swedish brand Little Red Stuga’s Buclos way back when in our 10 Best: ideas for a weather-themed room. Fast forward a few years and they’ve not lost any of their appeal. If anything, the new colourways make them even more desirable! These are a play module. They’re made of […]
The Story Corner: May the Stars Drip Down
Nikki McClure is one of my favourite children’s book illustrators. Her intricate papercut images are immediately engaging for children and her stories have gentle, nurturing themes. For May the Stars Drip Down (Abrams, RRP £10.99), she has teamed up with songwriter Jeremy Chatelain to create a lullaby about a parent’s wishes for their child, and it’s […]
Hot on the High Street: M&S toucan sweatshirt
Launched a little too late for my 10 Best: Exotic Birds, this sweatshirt from M&S definitely deserves a mention (and may have slipped into my virtual basket for Alfie). Three cheers for whoever is designing M&S’s boys’ collection at the moment as there are some real gems in there – refreshing against a sea of […]
Inspiration: Gifts for 5 year olds
It’s a month since Alfie turned five, so we’ve had plenty of opportunity to play with and read all the amazing toys and books he received (thanks so much, everyone). It goes without saying that both Playmobil and LEGO are always a winner – the Playmobil space and LEGO Marvel Superhero and City sets have been particularly […]
Beanie on Helina Cloud Cushions
If the weather with you is anything like it is here today, you’ll be feeling this cushion from quirkily named Beanie on Helina. It’s made from linen and embroidered with contrasting raindrops and would look just as lovely in a grown-up environment as a children’s one. It also comes in light grey, pale pink and […]
Inspiration: Alfie’s undersea science party
Yes, that’s right – an undersea science party. The theme requests from Alfie are pretty specific these days! This one was basically fuelled by his inability to decide between his love of Octonauts and his obsession with science experiments. For the science bit, my first port of call was Science Boffins, a company that provides […]
