• Plant a money garden with these toadstools

I found this new website recently and I think they have the cutest stuff for adults and children. At the moment their toadstool money boxes are on sale and I think a bunch of these on a windowsill would be really cute!

You could write on them what each different box is saving for – ‘movies’, ‘new camera’, ‘shoes’, - or if you don’t have specific savings, label them with the value of the coins that will go in them, i.e £1, 50p and so – and have a money saving garden.

I think it would look lovely!

The toadstools are made of wood and rubber – I’m assuming the bit that keeps the money inside is the rubber bit, and each mushroom stands 12cm tall. With a diameter of 10cm, you could probably fit five or six of them comfortably on a windowsill… see I’m really invested in that idea!

They seem to have gone vintage mad over at dotcomgiftshop! This delightfully retro set of dominoes is a bargain at just £3.95.

This looks like a really beautiful set of dominoes with vintage-style pictures on each domino card. The game comes in a retro box containing 28 dominoes plus an easy-to-follow instruction booklet and rules-of -the-game guide.

This item is suitable for  children between the ages of 4 and 8 years and I can definitely vouch for dominoes as an inspired way of entertaining little people. My lads adore dominoes and are building up quite a repertoire of different games that they know how to play, and they absolutely love explaining the rules and counting the cards out among players. It's great for everything from helping them learn how to co-operate to building numeracy skills.

What I love about this item is the classic, nostalgic design. Often these days the most affordable toys and games for children are also the most tacky but dotcomgiftshop certainly seem to have a knack for tracking down items that are both easy on your pocket and lovely to look at too.

Charlie and Lola are a firm favourite in our household, we have enough books and merchandise to start our own store. This hot water bottle is extremely very lovely for those of you that have kids enamoured with the series and at a delightfully low price from the Dotcom Gift Shop.

The red, knitted cover includes a bottle and has an adorable picture of Lola on the front. It has been dropped down from £6.95 to only £2.95 which is a nice saving, although you will have to fork out for postage. 

The special extends to all the different colours of hot water bottle in different sizes. You can get red, pink and blue at varying prices, all marked down by at least 50 percent. You can also get Charlie and Lola branded bags, figurine tins, table tins and biscuit tins in the sale. 

Nab these items at huge discounts to combine your postage. Or perhaps spoil yourself with some of the other merchandise they have in the sale, both for kids and parents. Happy shopping.
