Last spring, we fell in love with Meri Meri's brand new 'Toot Sweet' multi-coloured partyware collection (see the feature here if you haven't seen it before). And now we're excited to see that since its launch, Meri Meri have been busy adding to the range, introducing new patterns and colours that allow for either a complete co-ordinated look, or a more mix-and-match eclectic feel. The 'Charms' design (below) is one of our favourites, featuring miniature multi-coloured...
Fancy serving up their snack on a cat? Or tea on a tea-drinking zebra? Well now you can, with these fabulous melamine plates designed by Helen Dardik and available from the lovely Peanut and Pip children's store. Featuring five different animals to mix and match, including a sailor dog, a fox in a suit, a cheeky-looking monkey, a multi-coloured cat and of course, the tea-drinking zebra herself, each design tells a story and is bound...
Christmas may be over and the presents unwrapped and played with, but there's still one little thing left to do - and that's to say thank you. These fabulous origami animal notepaper sets from British design studio Lollipop put the fun back into the post-festive season - simply write your note and fold it up to turn it into a polar bear/owl/dog/fox/mouse/cat - and pop it in the post. They come as a set of...

Clockwork Soldier was launched two years ago as a destination for fun little toys that children can make themselves, with or without mums' and dads' help. In our world of technology dominated by video and computer games, not to mention iPads, iPhones and all the apps that come with them, Rob Dakin and Karen Northey...
With our little girl's 3rd birthday tomorrow, we're in full swing of party preparations - so what better feature today than these beautiful birthday rosettes designed by Nomi Olsthoorn and available from Molly-Meg? Made in the UK from 100% wool felt with a gorgeous satin trim, they're a wonderful little gift and a lovely keepsake for after the event (and at £9.50 each we think they'd make great stocking fillers too). The rosettes are available...
A party wouldn't be a party without a party bag. As a child, it's one of the best bits of the whole event. The trouble is, the majority of party bag goodies tend to be much of a muchness - meaning the novelty soon wears off before the journey home is up, and mums and dads are left with bits and pieces all over the car/under the sofa/scattered around the house for weeks and months...
