What’s better than a book? (Don’t say the TV) A personalised book which features you and the fruit of your loins, of course! Being somewhat of a connoisseur of baby-related items since Baby L popped into the world nine months ago, I was very intrigued when I was contacted by the guys and girls at […]
I don’t know about you, but I really struggle with buying presents for the missus. It’s not intended to be an excuse, but we’ve been together nine years now. During that time, there has been a hell of a lot of occasions in which I’ve needed to buy gifts for her – anniversaries, birthdays, Christmases, […]
One of the things I’ve discovered about having a baby is how fun it is to dress them up. The cute trousers, the funky baby grows, the little hats with ears. What’s not to love?

This is a subscription service which delivers expertly-picked books to your door each month which […]

I have many happy memories of reading as a kid. Be it going to the library with my mum to pick out what books we wanted to read together that week or getting lost in a book as a youngster whilst at school. It is a similar story for the missus too when she was growing […]
