Build a Bear
July 23, 2010 – 11:49 am | No Comment

I can’t fault the staff at our local Build a Bear store, they were exceptional and made the morning a really fun experience for Flea. She loves her soft toy and so does her cousin. But at £50 apiece, I don’t think she loves it enough to make this value for money. Other experienced parents have told me the way to make Build a Bear Work is to give kids a price limit before you go into the store, and then let them spend it how they choose – so it’s possible to get a bear for £9.99 and an outfit for another £10 or so. And it helps if you buy something at Build a Bear with 2 feet, rather than 4!

“These children’s handkerchiefs from the Nappy Laundry are really bright and funky and environmentally friendly – how many boxes of tissues do we get through in a week?”

Children's HandkerchiefsInitial thoughts: These handkerchiefs from the Nappy Laundry are really bright and funky and feature numbers (sums) or the alphabet. They are ‘child’ sized and made from a nice robust cotton. A really nice idea and environmentally friendly (how many packets of tissues do we get through in a week?)

We liked: They’re really appealing to children and my two were happy to have one in their pocket. They were on the verge of being too ‘babyish’ for my 6 year old, but he was happy with the numbers hankies (“I can do sums while blowing my nose, Mummy” – bonus!)

Weren’t keen on: After a couple of washes the colours started to fade a little. Other than that, they are really sturdy cotton and stood the up to the test pretty well.

Overall: A nice gift or stocking filler and at £2.50 a packet, it’s easy to be generous and make sure all your little friends have a handy pack too!
