TGF Rated Review: Jack n’Jill Children’s Toothpaste and Brush

What is it? Jack n’ Jill toothpaste and toothbrush.  Who is reviewing it? My 4 year old son.

Blanket Boxes at Myakka

I’m always drawn to pretty or unusual boxes and chests when browsing in antique or home furnishings shops.  It can be difficult though to find reasonably priced items that combine quality with ethical concerns.  So I was very pleased to stumble across Myakka with their ranges of furniture from a single fair trade supplier in [...]

Children’s Knitwear from Picaloulou

Children’s Activity Parties: Ice
