As a kid growing up in the 90's I was Obsessed with Hello
Kitty (that's right Obsessed with a capital
“O”), I had to get my hot little hands on anything with
Sanrio's leading character emblazoned across it. Her cute little Kitty face
still gives me a teensy rush of excitement to this day, even though I may be
far too old to be fussing over a cartoon cat.
So – I was SHOCKED to learn this morning that Hello Kitty… is
in fact not a cat…!
“Wait, WHAT?” you say. “But the ears..the whiskers…her last name is
Kitty!".
I know. You’re confused. I’m confused. We're
confused together!

You thought that decorating was fun before? Wait until you start
revamping that tired spare room for your new baby! You can really let
your creativity run free in a child's room, because the more whimsical it is,
the more your little ones will enjoy the space!
Times have certainly changed when it comes to Nursery colour, while they’re
lovely choices – you mustn’t feel limited to standard soft pink or blue.
Most vibrant colours will work in a child's space, and monochrome tones are
great for a gender neutral revamp. Try looking up ‘Scandi Style nursery’ and
‘interior designer’s nursery’ for some lovely inspiration points. Always
remember to give some thought to whether the look you’re happy with
now, will be something you’re just as happy with in a few years’
time – you’re going to be in this room often and you’ll want the
room to work not only for a newborn baby but a a six month old, a one year old
and maybe even further beyond that.

Decorating a Playroom…
If you have the space, and like to keep your children’s bedrooms peaceful
and consistently tidy – a playroom is a great way to keep play-mess contained
in one area. Most children cherish a space of their own besides their bedrooms,
and it also provides a safe, fun place to escape to, well into a
child's teenage years.

With loads of quirky designs available, our neat new range of Decorative
Silhouette Chalkboards allow you to have a bit of fun while keeping your
life organised.
Much more exciting than a traditional chalkboard – let the kids draw on
the butterfly, kitten or dinosaur, while adults can keep track of groceries on
the wine bottle, glass or coffee cup – businesses can inform customers about
specials and offers on the flower or star boards, and teams can brainstorm on
the thundercloud. We have the perfect chalk board style for every individual,
business or environment!
This fab range of wall moutable decal-like chalkboards all come with a white
liquid chalk marker, and four mounting rip strips allowing the board to be
ripped from the wall for easier writing and cleaning.
So what are you waiting for? Why not inject some fun and functionality
into your space with our neat
new chalkboards today!

Animals!
Fully microwaveable and infused with the aroma of French Lavender, these
adorable new heaties are the perfect companions for those long chilly
nights.

Animals are available in six quirky creature styles;

Even Time Lords develop tartar, and Gallifreyan gingivitis can be nasty,
which is why the good Doctor has developed a handy toothbrush attachment for his
Sonic Screwdriver.
Now you, too, can have teeth as clean as a Time Lord's when you cleanse your
ivories with the awesome Sonic
Screwdriver electric toothbrush!
Ok, so it’s not the actual sonic screwdriver, but this electric
toothbrush is officially licenced Doctor Who merch and is dentist approved
(across multiple dimensions of course).
Our last shipment of Sonic Screwdriver toothbrushes sold-out in one
day – so if you're a Doctor Who fan, be sure to swing
by now and grab yours before they're all snapped up this time!
We LOVE steam punk style. The tiny top hats, the goggles (that do nothing!),
the corsets, the leather, the crazy weapons. We love that there's no canon, no
official characters to cosplay, so you're free to let your imagination go wild
when designing a steampunk outfit.
This amazing new steampunk accessory – Captain
Jules' Everlasting Steampunk Flask named after..... well, actually, we just
made up Captain Jules ;-) it's up to you, geek friend, to invent who Captain
Jules is or was, and why you are currently toting his incredibly handsome
Everlasting Steampunk Flask!
Truly invaluable to any traveler, motorist, sportsman or businessman, this
unique flask will hold up to 200ml of whichever medicinal tonic tickles your
fancy – and looks super stylish while doing so.
The full grain leather holster features a 7 cm long belt loop, and the flask
itself is stainless steel with copper cladding. The gauge on the outside is
adjustable, so it can read whatever you want!
So if you love Steam Punk style too – you'll want to add
this awesome flask to your collection today before they're all
snapped up!

Cookie Cutters, is the perfect gift for any Minecraft fan who also loves

actually devour, instead of the not-so-tasty static flavored on-screen
variety!
We love the neat cookie cutter storage tin which looks just like an in-game
storage chest, and holds the five stainless steel cutters – each an iconic
Minecraft shape;
- Pickaxe
- Sword
- Player
