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?

Giddy Giddy
September 30, 2010
When I spotted these baby and toddler hair clips, I found myself dancing around, feeling giddy with desire! Each clip is hand-crafted out of super soft felt, making it perfect to grip even the finest, tiniest baby hair. They’re made across the pond by Giddy Giddy but are available here and there’s plenty of choice too. I’m hearting the bold floral designs without any tweeness. They cost £4.50 each and come in 2 sizes – little girl size and big girl size. Since choking’s a serious hazzard with teeny-tiny ones, I would adorn older toddlers with these (less chance of being bald too!).

Newbee eye-candy
September 27, 2010
Been on the hunt for a newbee gift as a friend’s about to deliver. So off I went surfing and clicking and voila! I stumbled across Wee Gallery and fell in love. Their black & white animal cards are quite the eye-candy for newbees. They’re printed from hand-painted originals, come as a set of 6 cards and you can choose from sea, jungle, farm, garden animals and more. Each set costs a tenner plus £4.50 delivery. There’s also an original collection which is a combo of different animals. They come in a nice presentation box and the cards have rounded corners so they’re perfect for baby.
A Chunky Sheep
September 24, 2010
My minimalist side is jumping for joy at the sight of this simple, wooden, chunky sheep. So desirable in all it’s chunky splendour, it also comes apart to be laced back together. Each disk is colour coded, a cool way to learn colour and sequence. The chubby sheep’s by Plan Toys, makers of some fine and dandy eco-friendly wooden toys. The lacing sheep costs £13.99 and delivery is free.
My mustachioed viking
September 23, 2010
Vikings. Not something I think about but today I’m going a bit viking ga-ga. I’ve spotted these stylish melamine dinner plates that are the creation of Sandra Monat, a German lady big on contemporary style with a historical twist. I’m loving the illustrations of the vikings, they’re so cool, so contemporary, so cheerful. I’m especially keen on the black mustachioed one sheltering himself from the rain… how amazing is he?
The square plate is smaller costing £11.50 while the larger round ones (including my mustachioed friend!) cost £13.50 with delivery from £3.50. Will a dash of viking adventure mean more greens are chomped? No but I’m still vanting!

The lovely Stella
September 21, 2010
Hot, hot, hot news… Stella McCartney is launching her own range of kiddies clothing. Last year she collaborated with Gap and it seems the collections were super successful. So now she’s going it alone. Uber stylish is what Stella stands for and I for one can’t wait. It’s coming on 3rd November and promises to be affordable. For now, you can watch a video and register for a preview, while you wait for the Stella McCartney Kids Collection. Oooh… the anticipation!
Rice is nice
September 20, 2010
I’m seeing red, blue, green, orange, purple… it’s a colour-tastic range of melamine cups by Rice. The Danish Rice have created a range of funky, bright and bold cups perfect for the move from sipper to cup. Choose a print or solid colour but with such a great, almost dizzying choice, there’s definitely one for everyone.
You can find a good selection of these cups on amazon. They’ve got loads so click around till you find the perfect one.
The happy, sunny Daisy Cooker
September 18, 2010
Ooh la la is what I say to this super-sunny play kitchen from Djeco. The French Djeco make the most delicious wooden toys like this daisy cooker. It’s bright, it’s happy, it’s fab for imaginative play. The sink, hob, oven combo are just the ticket for budding chefs and the included frying pan, cook pot, spatulas, salt & pepper and dish cloth can only add to the cooking fun. The happy yellow and green daisy cooker costs £69.95 with delivery at £4.75 from tickety boo and measures 41 x 50 x 29 cms.
Sweetest birdy cushions
September 16, 2010
Small birdie, medium birdie and large birdie cushions by the wonderful Ferm Living. These super cute cushions are nothing less than super desirable too. Buy one, buy all three, or buy two, whatever you do these cushions will be an enviable possession. They’d be perfect as decorative eye-candy but I love the small one as a cuddly cot friend. They’re made of organic cotton, measure 32×32 cms, 45×42 cms and 60x54cms and cost £18.90, £23.90 and £38.90 plus £4.95 for delivery.
