Wicked Uncle solves those Children’s party dilemmas
It all started when Joe was five. Before this, we had been invited to a few children’s birthday parties, spread out at intervals throughout the year. Then suddenly Joe hit five, and he suddenly had more party invites than the whole cast of TOWIE put together. It seemed like rarely a weekend passed without a birthday party from a cousin or a school friend. We attended a party this weekend, and now have party invites for the next three weekends. A child’s social life is certainly a busy one! Of course, birthday parties bring the problem of what to give for a gift. You know what your own child likes…

Yondi Pillows for Big Kids
For many children, long car journeys are the perfect opportunity to have a nap. A mixture of tiredness, bored over endless traffic jams on the UKs motorways and sometimes the heat of the car make it very hard for kids to stay awake. Unfortunately, this can lead to situations of sore neck, with heads lolling to one side for want of something more comfortable than the average car back seat. So I personally think that the latest invention from Trunki, the Yondi Pillow for big kids, is a great, practical idea that may make journeys a more comfortable for little ones.

Teksta T-Rex – possibly the perfect pet!
He walks, he roars. He chews his bone and then happily burps and then chews some more. He can launch his bone into the air, and responds when you stroke his face. He can do all of this, yet never wrecks the Christmas tree, leaves a mess on the carpet, or requires vets bills. Yes, the Teksta T-Rex may just be the best pet you could buy. The Teksta T-Rex is a gorgeous white and red robotic dinosaur which responds to your voice, actions, motions, lights and sounds in order to perform a series of actions. Easy to programme using the two mode buttons on the top of his head,…

Grab a Disney Store Bargain this weekend
When it comes to looking at the most popular toys this Christmas, it is safe to say that products from the Disney Store will be right there at the top of the list. The perennial favourites Mickey and Minnie Mouse never lose their popularity, and seem to find a brand new audience every year. (My niece has recently become obsessed with Minnie Mouse – taking a cuddly version just about everywhere she goes – she’s 18months.). This year, with lots of interest in a certain film currently in production, the Disney Store has a new, must have, range. I am, of course, talking about the new Star Wars movie, and…
