Practical n’ stylish: Skip Hop Bubble bathroom hooks

No Comments Bathing & grooming

"Skip hop bubble bath hooks"

Ooh… the joy in spotting everyday products injected with lashings of style.  And today it’s all about bathroom hooks.  Boring? Yes, but not these ones.  Bright and colourful, translucent suction hooks to hang toys, wash cloths, sponges and more.  These Bubble bathroom hooks are made by Skip Hop who manage to add fun, style and brightness to so much everyday stuff.  And I salute them for that.  After all, I belong to the ‘practical should be stylish too’ school of thought.  The Bubble bathroom hooks come as a set of 4, cost a tenner and delivery’s free.

A baby bath: Fold it, store it, forget it.

"FlexiBath Folding Baby Bath"

A baby bath that folds for easy storage but yet sturdy, free of nasties like PVC, BPA, phthalates, compact, and scores high in the looks department too.  Yup, that’s the clever FlexiBath by A Real Cool World.

I got sent one and was muchos impressed.  For starters, the design obsessed cells in my brain started somersaulting in excitement.  The colours are explosive.  Hot pinks, peacock blues and lime greens are on offer.  Then we filled it and got the guest of honour in.  Ebabee no.1′s a toddler teetering on the brink of 2 years.  She fitted in comfortably, long legs and all.  We even had room for a few ducks, after all what’s a bath without ducks for company?  The FlexiBath peeps say it goes from 0 to 4 years.  My take: probably comfortably till about 2-2.5 years depending on the size of the bambino.

After we had washed and cleaned and played plenty, the bath was easy to drain and super-easy to fold away.  No pushing, tugging, sitting on top of required.  Simply fold it, close the clasp and stash it away.  If your bathroom’s cosy (otherwise called small) then this is just the ticket and perfect from day dot.  I only have a shower in mine, so I still use a baby bath.  The old ones found it’s way to the tip and the shiny new award winning FlexiBath sits proudly folded out of view!

The FlexiBath costs £20 plus £3.49 delivery.  And it measures approximately 66 x 39 cms and is 24 cms deep.

A hot bath

No Comments Bathing & grooming, Newborns

"newborn bath tubs"

Baby baths just got hot.  These are so uber-cool you’ll probably want to keep them on display.  They’re shaped in the style of tummy tubs and measure 41cms high.  They come with a double wall which keeps the water warm for longer and you can choose from fuchsia, lime or aqua.  I love’m all!  The Hoppop Bano costs from £24.26 with free delivery and is made for newborns.  And when the bambino graduates to a bigger bath, the bano will make a cool and handy toy storage drum.

Have a look at ebabee where you can buy and sell baby items galore!

Potty house

"potty training aid"

With potty training on the horizon, I’m wanting anything that’ll ease the pain.  Ideally I’m after a magic wand but since Harry Potter’s ignored my calls, i guess I’m on my own.  So off I went googling instead and found Ma Cacabane on minor details’ blog and just had to share.  Ma Cacabane is an eco-friendly potty play house so cool.   Made of recyclable cardboard this is the perfect place for potty trainees to get some privacy.  Once inside, there’s plenty to look at with all the little drawings and there’s even windows to look out of.  And when they’re ready, they can open the door.  It comes in delicious colours like sweet blueberry, my favourite,  and spinash green, and once your potty trainee has graduated it’ll make for a  mini-playhouse or a perfect place to hide.  It costs €39 plus €25 for delivery – not cheap with delivery but then again whats the price for potty training help?

Potty time

No Comments Bathing & grooming

"Hoppop donut potty"I’m thinking of potty training soon.  So, I’ve landed the so not glamorous task of finding a potty.  Searching yesterday I was losing the will to continue when I came across one that actually got me excited (maybe excited’s pushing it but indulge me). It’s the Hoppop Donut potty chair.   It comes in a white base with a fuschia (so much cooler than pale pink), aqua or lime inner.  There’s also a grey/lime combo which is pretty cool.  As you’ve guessed, it’s shaped like a donut, the pot in the middle is easily removable and it’s wipe clean.

If you’ve got to get a potty, may as well get the funkiest, coolest looking one you can! The hoppop donut potty costs £19.99 with free delivery.

Boon (n). – something to be thankful for

No Comments Bathing & grooming

Thats pretty near what I felt when I spotted this Boon Baby grass drying rack for £13.99 earlier today.  It’s so stylish and perfect for baby bottles, dummies and glasses.  It’s a 2 piece rack with the water collecting tray and the flexible blades of grass for air drying.  And it’s free from all the nasties like BpA, Phthalate and PVC.

I continued to search wondering if I would find something more to be thankful for. And sure enough Boon didn’t disappoint.  I stumbled across Scrubble and Splat. Scrubble is an interchangeable bath toy set costing £8.99 and Splat is a floating bath ring toss game for £6.99.  Both are suitable from 9 months, free of nasties and are extremely wantable.
