I am delighted to introduce our readers to bibsandstuff.com, the online store for unique and practical baby products. This is the perfect place to find the ideal gift for your little ones, giving you fantastic selection to choose from. But, if you are looking for bright ideas for little people, I think this Barbapapa Lumilove Base Light just the thing!
Are you familiar with the cute faced Barbapapa from the popular cartoon series of the 70’s? Well he’s back and ready to light up your kid’s lives (and bedrooms!). This beautiful light brings a comforting glow to children’s bedrooms so there are no more tears or fears at bed time. This fun Barbapapa Lumilove Base Light is something that your child will love from onset.
The Barbapapa is soft to the touch and remains cool so he is perfectly safe to cuddle in bed (my little boy loves it so much, his favourite teddy has been kicked out of bed now!). To charge simply place him back on his ‘smart charge’ base, this is plugged into the mains, meaning no wires hanging from him. As soon as Barbapapa is removed from the base he glows automatically (he can be easily switched off to at the bottom) and he provides a gentle light for 11 hours. Perfect!
Specifications are as follows:-
- Smart charger! No electrical contact. Simply charge by placing on base
- Once charged, glows for 11 hours
- Eco-friendly light source
- Soft removable light can be cuddled in bed
- Recharge level indicator
- Available in pink and blue
- Approximately 18.5 cm tall
The Barbapapa Lumilove Base Light is priced at £38.50, and is available from http://www.bibsandstuff.co.uk.
To commemorate the Royal Wedding taking place this month Clipper Teas has created two very special limited edition loose leaf teas. For the Prince they have created an exquisite Earl Grey blend with the finest bergamot oil to give it a distinctive citrus flavour. And for our new princess-to-be a fantastic wedding breakfast blend has been created, with a superb blend of the finest Assam and Ceylon teas.
Gill Hesketh, commercial director at Clipper Teas states:-
“The Royal Wedding is a brilliant celebration for the whole country and as a great British brand we want to celebrate with them. As lovers of the Great British cup of tea, what better way than raising our mugs to commemorate this event”.
Both blends will be available exclusively from http://www.clipper-teas.com for £4.95.
Chocolate at Easter time is something that we find extremely hard to resist. I love the very additive brown delight, and find it hard to say no too! But, at Easter, having an excuse to eat chocolate is pure heaven. So, why not treat yourself and others with the pleasure of Thornton’s! With a great selection of Easter goodies and treats available, there is something for everyone to enjoy.
Get the best of both worlds with a Thornton’s Chocolate Block Egg (£9.99). Containing a beautiful array of a creamy milk chocolate egg and three of Thorntons best-selling Chocolate Blocks you won’t be disappointed. With the choice of milk and white Belgian chocolate and dark French chocolate, you’ll want to keep this one all to yourself. I know I do!
I know how much children love to take part in an egg hunt at Easter time. So, with this best-selling Easter Egg Hunt Kit (£6.50), the whole family can indulge in the fun.
It contains eight hollow milk chocolate eggs, foiled mini milk chocolate eggs and five clues to help the children along; this will entertain and delight kids and grown-ups alike! I love it!
With many other eggs available, Thorntons could just well be your one stop shop for Easter. You can even go the extra mile this year with a personal message iced onto your favourite egg – making a great personalised gift. From small treats like the Chirpy Chick Lollipop (£0.69), to the Jelly Bean Carrot bag (£1.49) are more than ideal for small children. And for the grown-ups who love chocolate the Continental Easter Egg (£9.99) and Chocolate Jubilee Egg (£24.99) would be more than appreciated.

Lego fans across the world will be fascinated with the arrival of Lego Ninjago. Prepare for a digit dual with the all new Lego Ninjago spinner game, which combines traditional play sets with a collectible spinner game. Based on a brand new cool, action-packed ninja world, the spinner game brings the action of the masters of Spinjitzu to life in a battle of tabletop will… with the power learned from the master that is Sensei Wu, pit our heroes; Kai; Cole; Zane; and Jay against the evil skeletal cretins: Bonezai, Krazi and Nuckal. This is sure to be boys (and maybe girls!) new favourite game to play, and could well be the next new craze in school!
The Spinjitzu Starter Set (£12.99) is the perfect introduction to this mysterious world and the spinning game. It features the Spinjitzu Arena, Spinners, Characters, Weapons, Character Cards and loads more LEGO goodies. Simply build, spin and battle – it’s as easy as that!
Ride the Ice Dragon (£19.99) in an airborne chase against the mighty Skull Dragster (£45.99).
Set up our heroes for a training session designed to turn them into one of the most formidable martial arts powers. Garmadon’s Castle (£49.99) sees the students fighting the evil skeleton henchmen, using their skills to dodge, dart and destroy. Collect the Skull Motorbike (£13.99), Ninja Training Depot (£3.99) and Ninja Ambush (£6.49) for a full-on Spinjitzu scuffle.

Nigel’s Eco Store provides practical, functional and beautiful eco friendly, natural and organic products. I have reviewed a few products from this great store before, and have not been disappointed! And, now to add to their fantastic range of products and making a great fun science gift for ages 4 and over, is the Colour Changing UV Beads.
These are UV beads or sunny beads, and I think kids will go mad for them; probably setting of the next big trend in school! When these colourless beads are exposed to ultraviolet light (like sunlight), they change colour. When exposed to UV light, the chemical structure within the beads changes, allowing the material to absorb a pigment or dye and show colour. Out of sunlight, it reverts to colourless again.
This is a fun way to educate people about the power of the sun, learn about UV rays, and learning to protecting your skin when out and about in the sun. It is also important for kids to think about the damage the sun can cause to their skin, making these beads a more than perfect gift for them!
It really is amazing to see these beads working their magic. When the UV beads are exposed to sunlight, and even on cloudy days, they will change from white to a range of colours, and back to white when indoors. By two boys think they are ‘so cool’, and have brought their beads onto school to show their teachers and friends!
Simply string elastic through the beads to make an attractive bracelet or necklace; or even try making hair braids – all the girls will want them. My boys have theirs attached to there zips on their schoolbags. And also on their shoe laces!
Specifications are as follows:-
•Pack contains around 100 UV beads
•UV beads turn from white to light blue, dark blue, purple, pink, yellow and orange
•Ideas for simple experiments are included in pack
•Not suitable for under 3s
You can purchase these Colour Changing UV Beads from Nigel’s Eco Store for £4.08.
