Play.com are selling a Me To You Seaside Hooded Poncho for just £5, including free delivery – saving you a lovely £7.99.

• Cuddle up with Me To You

It’s called a “Seaside” hooded poncho because of the image on the towel, rather than the fact that it is meant to be worn on the seaside.

In fact, it would be perfect for swimming in your local pool, or even for bath time, if so required – and of course, if you’re jetting off somewhere sunny this Christmas, well… lucky you – and your little one has a really cute towel to take along!

These Tatty Teddies are popular with young and old – my sister loves them – and kids generally do too.

I think they’d make a great little gift, or a stocking filler, even, and at a fantastic price… and if these don’t float your boat, Play.com have a few other hooded towel-ponchos for not much more available too.

I love towels.

I adore opening the airing cupboard door and seeing piles and piles of soft fluffy towels all folded neatly, and bundled together in the right colours.

Thankfully I've grown out of wanting Disney character towels, otherwise I could be in big trouble.

You see, when there are normal towels on sale I have an almost overwhelming urge to buy several of every size of them; I don't, however, have any desire to have fluffy stacks of Disney towels.

They are rather lovely though - measuring 152 x 80cms - and can be personalised with your child's name (as long as it's not more than 12 letters long).

They are 100% cotton, machine washable and there are lots and LOTS to choose from, for both boys and girls.

I love Morrck.

I love how they came into being; I love how they've become massive and I love their new Morrck Splasha.

I first came across Morrck at the Baby Show in Birmingham when I was expecting my youngest; they started out with just the 'Baby Hoodie' (which is JUST brilliant) and have, since then, added lots of marvellous things to their range.

With summer rapidly approaching (along with the 'threat' of a two-week heatwave starting this weekend - have you read about that? Yeah, I'll believe it when I'm laying in 30C in the garden too!) days out on the beach, messing around with water in the garden or camping holidays are all going to be on the agenda.

I haven't been camping for years - I never liked it much - but I do have vivid memories of towels being dropped in the mud en route to the shower blocks.

That, combined with trying to get dry on the beach whilst staying completely covered up, followed by 'panic' every time the wind blew the edges of the towel up and threatened to reveal my childhood nakedness to the world.

The Morrck Splasha solves all of these problems in one simple design; brilliant.

It retails for £19.95 and is a towelling hooded robe with poppers in various places which will maintain your child's modesty in all situations, put an end to dropped towels or can just be used in the bathroom if you wish.

Play.com have tons of hooded ponchos, perfect for swimming or bath time on sale for £5, with free delivery. These are normally around £9.99, so this is a nifty little half price sale, just in time for spring and holiday planning.
