Gift guide Friday

Melissa and Doug doorbell house – about £20 but shop around. Useable from about 2yo onwards – Kitty still plays with hers and she is nearly five.

What to Bake and How to Bake It by Jane Hornby. The best baking book published in the last ten years. Sorry Delia and everyone else, but seriously. Again – about £20.

Log carrier from a really excellent little independent British company in Norfolk called The Carrier Company. £38. Lots of lovely things on there if the log carrier doesn’t suit.

    Why were you ill? If It had seen this a day earlier I would have not spent tedious hours yesterday trying track down a kinetic sand box set. It was out of stock everywhere so I caved and bought an inferior brand to get it done. Now I think the small girl would have preferred the nice little doorbell house. Ho hum…… I commend you on your gift recommendations though. Keep up the good work and stay well please.
