Motorola Scout 85
How many times have you had to leave your pet at home and spent the day wondering if he/she was ok – or if they had managed to break into the fridge!!
I have a Little Jack Russel and he is one in a million. He can sniff out the postman at 400 paces and no bird ever dares land on our lawn. Apart from having to ‘scoop the poop’ I have no disadvantages to keeping a pet at all.
I work – part-time and not for long hours but I do worry about him alone. This is why I was soon keen to try out the Motorola Scout 85.

Spearmark Sneaker and Lippy Lips Lights
A baseball boot shaped light – how cool is that. I can say that this was a huge hit with all of my kids and even dad! The light can be set to white or colour changing and its completely safe for children to leave next to their bed as it can be powered by battery so there are no leads to the mains plug.
The darker the room, the brighter the light – I love this as when the kids are going to bed it sometimes doesn’t actually be that dark outside and with a light on its way too bright. The sneaker light only gives a ‘light’ glow in brighter lights.

Hape Crane Lift
Have you a future builder in the family like myself? If so, I would recommend this Hape Crane Life as a ‘must buy’ this Christmas. I adore wooden toys and toys that have had some thought put into them as to what materials they are made and finished with. Hape is a conscientious company that you can trust. They use natural materials and water based paints so your child can play safe.

Bizzy Bitz
The Bizzy Bitz construction set has all your child needs to be creative. With 63 pieces, including coloured ‘bricks’ and wheels, almost anything can be created this Christmas. The pieces click together easily and as they are fairly large compared to Lego, the end result is super fast.

Playbulb Rainbow and Playbulb Candle
Playbulb Rainbow and Playbulb Candle would make an excellent stocking filler for your teenage daughter or even your ‘tweenage’ daughter. I have these stashed away for my 12 year old and I know she will be delighted. Candles are somewhat a ‘bad’ word in our house. I have ran out the door way too often and had to return to blow a candle out! We have therefore concluded, or rather dad has, that it is safer if we don’t burn candles at all!! sob! Never fear – Playbulb to the rescue – you can have the ambiance without the fire hazard.

New Drumond Park Games for Christmas 2015
New Drumond Park Games for Christmas 2015.
I am addicted to board games – I think its the entire concept and that there are no ‘screens’ involved that makes them so appealing! Kids spend way too much time in front of a screen and when given fun and interesting board games my kids are just as happy. I usually have at least 2 Drumond Park games ‘on the go’ in my playroom at any one given time. The kids love these games and are always on the lookout for new ones.

Wilko Christmas Gifts.
As per usual Wilko have some exceptionally priced Christmas gifts this year. My children have kindly had a look on site and have came up with a few favourites!
Jenny suggested this fab pink weekend bag – and its only £10! I was also very impressed as its a great size and stuffed full of really useful goodies as well.
