There are Farmyard Organic Bodysuits in packs of 5 that were £28, but are reduced to £20.

I love Mini Marmalade’s website. It’s clean and simple and so easy to navigate and they have almost all my favourite wooden, organic, musical or pregnancy things in their range. There’s free delivery for orders over £75, but delivery is £2.25 on orders below.

The discount coupon code is valid on items in the clearance section too, and at the moment you’ll find up to 50% off on Green Baby organic clothing, and between 15 and 50% on Toby Tiger clothing. This really sweet Flower Wellies set, for example, is £10.99, making it £8.79.

There’s a page full of lovely gift ideas such as the Little Box of Booboos £17.50 – or £14 – or these Miffy Tabards for just £5.59.

You’ll find plenty more here though, in all ‘categories’ of child-rearing, such as mealtimes and feeding, bath time, sleeping, playtime and safety.

Have a good browse, and enjoy shopping at Mini Marmalade.

Glitter Fairies Fun At The Fair Toiletries Gift Sets are currently £4.99 instead of £9.99 at Argos.

• Glitter up with Fun At The Fair Fairies

When I was a child, we had Tinkerbel – the fragrances were real but the make-up wasn’t, as I remember it, but the real highlight was the magazine and stickers it came with. My dad used to call it ‘Stinkerbel’ and if I think back on the horrible yellow-tinged liquid, I can only imagine it wasn’t great… but I loved it.

The Glitter Fairies seems a little more authentic for the girls of today and this is a ‘delightful’ looking set for little girls (with no skin sensitivities).

The Set contains :

• 50ml shower gel
• 50ml body lotion
• 50ml shampoo
• 25g bath confetti
• 45g bath fizzer
• Body polisher

It should make a nice little gift or stocking filler for someone small.

If your house gets stuffy with all the windows closed in the winter, this Reed Diffuser Set with fragrances such as Christmas Spice or Lemongrass and Lime could freshen up your living space for just £7.19.

I’m a really ‘what you see is what you get’ kind of person, and while I’ll wear make-up most days, I’ve never been big on hair sprays and such like, unless it’s for a wedding or similar special occasion.

Additionally, as a mum I sometimes simply don’t have time for the basics. You know how they say some days just getting out of bed and through the shower is a successful day? Well, it’s true for me, some days. But, having little to no sleep, oversleeping, and not having time to wash your hair in the morning, I have found, no longer has to be so incriminating.

I discovered Touch of Silver Dry Shampoo from Pro:Voke, which has revolutionised those rough mornings for me. I’m not entirely sure how it works, but basically, you spray the spray onto the roots of your hair and massage it through. You then brush through to get rid of excess product and off you go. Your hair sis now supposed to look clean, refreshed, and full of body.

And the thing is: it does. Obviously it doesn’t feel like freshly washed hair, but it looks perfectly fine and even light and clean.  I’m not sure how, but it must absorb or dry up the oiliness of unwashed hair.

What I didn’t realise at first was that it is actually meant for grey, white or platinum blond hair, while I have brown hair, and it still works perfectly.

I wouldn’t make it a way of life – I love the feel of clean hair too much – but for those morning emergency, Touch of Silver Dry Shampoo by Pro:Voke is a life saver.

To use the code, go to the Shopping Basket page and enter it in the promotional code box. It will be applied to your order automatically. I tested it on tea tree oil, which cost £6. The code reduced that to £3. I have to say I was pretty happy about that.

There are some restrictions. You can’t use this on gifts/gift collections or with any other offers/codes (i.e. Love Your Body discount). I did try it out on some sale items, especially as there's a 30% discount on summer essentials at the moment, but it definitely didn't work.

Delivery on the site is £3.49, or free if you use this code and have £15 in the totals column when it is applied. Which, with this The Body Shop coupon, means you’d be getting £30 worth of their goodies for the price of £15 delivered. Nice.

Scottish Fine Soaps have this Highland Aromatics Woolly Bathers bag gift set, which includes 100ml Dewy Body Wash, 100ml Silky Body Lotion, 80g Soothing Soap Bar, Heather Travel Candle, and two Lavish Bath Melts in a knitted drawstring bag.

Scottish Fine Soaps have been formulating, designing and manufacturing products in Stirlingshire Scotland for over 35 years. “We take our inspiration from the breath taking natural world on our doorstep and pride ourselves in creating stylish, aromatic products that provide real benefits for the skin and promote well-being for the mind and body,” says Scottish Fine Soaps.

Reviewers liked the fact that it came in a bag that could be used as a toiletry bag, and that it was very well presented, but others had problems – understandably – with the fact that some items were swapped out without notice.

Overall there were good ratings for it and it’s a good price for a nice gift set.

Fabulous opportunity to stock up on stuff for presents. You know when I was pregnant, just before the birth my girlfriends gave me a fabulous present. It was a hat box, and inside were all sorts of little bath goodies, and smellies, and chocolates, nestled among the tissue paper. I still have the hat box and my son loves it! He likes to put things in it and give it to me as a 'present' to open!

Hushabye Baby currently has a sale on loads of Baby Buds Baby Products with their Buy One Get One Free offer, making them effectively half price each.

• Have a blissful bath with Baby Buds and Hushabye Baby

I'm a big fan of natural and organic products, and get geekishly excited about products that don't contain SLS, since my daughter reacts to it. The problem is most organic and natural products are much more expensive, so I jump at the chance to save a bit on things that are better for my baby.

Hushabye Baby have a great range of bathtime products available. These include:

• Baby Buds Baby Bum Balm for £11.44 for two, which is loaded with organic beeswax, spent grain wax, Inca Inchi, Jojoba oil, sunflower oil and shea butter.

• Baby Buds Baby Head to Toe Cleanser for £8.83 (for two) which, as the title suggests, can be used as a shampoo or bubble bath and soap.

• Baby Buds Baby Massage Oil is £9.35 for two, and can be used after bath time for a soothing, relaxing massage, helping baby get rid of excess winds and settle into a peaceful sleep. It is fragrance free, making it ideal for newborns.

• Baby Buds Nursing Salve (£8.95 for two), is unique cross between a balm and a gel featuring bio actives such as Inca Inchi and aroleat lavanda, used to prevent cracked and sore nipples, as well as damaged skin.

There's loads more to choose from, from Lip Balm to a Happy Baby gift set and Beautiful Blooming Belly Cream for mum. I don't see an end date, so it's probably while stocks last. Standard delivery is an additional £3.50.

I don't think there is a word in the modern family lexicon that is more likely to strike terror into the heart of a parent than this: HEADLICE.

Shudder.

I literally shivered with horror when the now familiar WARNING! note appeared at the doorway to my kids' classrooms. I had nits once as a child and I can still smell that pungent chemical shampoo that we had to be de-loused with. Grim. But there's only one thing worse than having headlice, and that's being the adult responsible for delousing the heads of your children.

As mothers we seem to have a particular thing about our babies' bonces. All being well, they're the first part of a person to enter the world, and most parents will freely confess to being totally intoxicated by the sweet scent of their baby's head. So the thought of your little one's crowning glory being infested with creepy crawlies is enough to make you contemplate shaving their heads altogether and leaving the little blighters homeless. The nits, that is, not the children, obviously.

So imagine my delight upon discovering that Vosene have brought out a new range for kids, with magic headlice-repellant properties. According to independent consumer research conducted by Vosene, 8 out of 10 children were protected against head lice while using Vosene Kids Shampoo and 9 out of 10 parents would recommend Vosene Kids to another parent.

Specially formulated with natural head lice repellents (Tea Tree Oil and Lemon Eucalyptus), Vosene's new 3 in 1 Conditioning Shampoo gently cleanses and conditions your kids' hair and scalp for naturally healthy, headlice-free hair.

The theory is that replacing your kids' usual shampoo with Vosene's 3 in 1 Conditioning Shampoo can help keep headlice at bay. Of course, if the dreaded creatures do attack, you'll need to invest in a suitable treatment, and I must stress that these products are not intended to treat nits or headlice, but to help as a preventative measure. It also goes without saying that kids should continue to have their hair checked on a regular basis to ensure that any unwanted visitors are caught early.

And because headlice warfare is worth waging properly, Vosene have also come up with a headlice-repellant 3-in-1 leave-in conditioning spray. It also contains natural ingredients that are known to deter headlice. By spraying it liberally on to washed hair while it's still damp, and massaging it into the scalp you should ensure that your child's hair is way too slippery for a lousy louse to want to call it home. Simply leave the spray on the hair and dry gently. You can use it at least once a day and even on dry hair between washes for added protection.

If you do suspect lice may be present, you can use this spray along with a suitable fine-toothed nit comb to remove any lice and eggs. Leave on hair and dry gently.

So do these products really work, or are they just a clever gimmick marketed to mums like me who will do almost anything to avoid being confronted by the sight of something with legs and eyes crawling in her childrens' hair?

Well, after more than three months of use, and despite those horror-inducing posters being up at school throughout that time, I am happy to report that we've seen no evidence of nits or lice. It's impossible to say whether that's down to these products or not but since both my beach boys fancy themselves as surf dudes and so have longish hair, I'm willing to wager that this range has played a part in keeping their locks intruder-free. I'll definitely be stocking up when our sample runs out.

I have to admit that my boys are less keen on these products than some of the other, milder shampoo products for children but I suspect that's more to do with the fact that the teatree tingles on their scalp and if the shampoo drips in their eyes it is a little bit stingy. I still reckon the occasional watery eye is a small price to pay for a bug-free head, so this range is set to become a permanent fixture in our bathroom.

Vosene Kids Head Lice Repellant range is available from  selected Boots, Tesco, Asda and independent chemists. Vosene Kids 3 in 1 Conditioning Shampoo 250ml is RRP £2.49 and Vosene Kids 3 in 1 Leave-in Spray Detangler 150ml is RRP £2.49.
