Daisy Roots Shoes

| March 22, 2013

I was contacted a few weeks ago by Daisy Roots and asked if I’d like to review a pair of their beautiful handmade leather shoes. I love supporting British companies so I was very excited when I discovered that Daisy Roots have been making shoes in Northamptonshire since 1995.

After visiting their lovely website my mind was full of delightful little leather shoes and the next step was to make a decision as to which pair I’d like to review. The following morning when Imogen asked for an apple I had my mind made up! I chose a pair of beautifully rich purple leather shoes with green apples and flowers on the front.

Imogen loves her new Daisy Roots leather shoes. They keep her feet cosy and warm on our wooden floors and stop her from slipping when she’s running around and playing. For an active toddler they’re the perfect indoor shoe!

What I love most about Daisy Roots shoes:

  • They have suede anti-slip soles
  • There’s room for growth
  • They’re made from soft, breathable leather
  • They fit perfectly around the ankle and are extremely soft
  • They’re made from eco-friendly leather and are chrome free
  • They’re vegetable dyed so are safe for babies who like to chew everything

They look gorgeous when worn with tights or trousers.

Daisy Roots make leather shoes for babies and toddlers in a variety of sizes from newborn to 4 years old. They’re recommended for indoor and pram use and can be cleaned easily with a damp cloth.

I think they’d make the perfect gift for a baby or child and there’s the option to have your shoes packaged in a gift box. Daisy Roots provide free delivery within the UK.

You can find out more about these beautiful leather shoes for babies and children at Daisy Roots and on Facebook.

His and Her Valentine’s Day Gifts

| February 5, 2013

This will be the first time in 10 years that hubby and I won’t be together on Valentine’s Day.

I’ll be in New Zealand and hubby will be in London so technically we couldn’t be further apart this Valentine’s Day, unless one of us decides to travel to the moon before 14 February.

I could wallow and be sad but rather than feel sorry for myself I decided to indulge in some online therapy and view a few of the sumptuous gifts that loved ones will be giving one another this Valentine’s Day.

Here are my favourite His and Her Valentine’s Day Gifts. And this way hubby will know what I’d like him to surprise me with when I get back to London!

His and Her Valentine's Day Gift Ideas

1. iflorist Valentine’s Day Flowers and Chocolates

2. Nicolas Feuillatte Inspiration Brut Champagne Gift, 75cl

3. Red Letter Days Rural Escape For 2

4. Diptyque Baies Scented Candle, 190g

You can’t go wrong with your loved one and a beautiful bouquet of red roses with a box of chocolates, a bottle of Champers, a romantic night away in a rural bolthole and a Diptyque candle with a sensuous blend of floral rose. Sounds like my kind of heaven…

My 1st Years Fleece Robe

| December 14, 2012

A few weeks ago we were kindly asked if we’d like to review a personalised Pink Fleece Robe for Imogen from My 1st Years. I jumped at the opportunity having been a fan of My 1st Years since they were founded in 2010.

With colder nights we’d resorted to layering on jumpers after Imogen’s bath much to her dislike! Now we have the pleasure of wrapping up our baby in a beautifully soft, warm and cosy Pink Fleece Robe that she absolutely loves to wear.

The personalised touch with Imogen’s name on the Pink Fleece Robe makes it unique and special.

The hood on the robe is great and keeps Imogen very snug, especially if her hair is still slightly damp from her bath. The hood is well designed with plenty of room for baby’s head and the design is especially cute and attractive to little ones with two little ears on it.

There are two large pockets on the front of the fleece robe, currently used for storing small toys. The fleece robe has a long belt for securing the robe gently in place.

As an added benefit I’ve found the My 1st Years Pink Fleece Robe helpful for Imogen’s evening routine because she associates it with bath time, being cosy and snuggling up to read bedtime stories.

My 1st Years Fleece Robe

Imogen’s My 1st Years Fleece Robe is just adorable. My 1st Years Fleece Robes are available in pink, blue and red in sizes ranging from newborn to 3 years old.

My 1st Years provide free delivery on UK orders over £15 and every order is delightfully wrapped in a beautiful gift box with a white ribbon.
