TEETHING PENDANTS by SMARTMOM

A necklace that your baby can safely chew. Just Genius!

If I had known about this fantastic product 6 months ago, I would have gotten one in every colour.
They also do matching Bangles! Unfortunately, I only just discovered this teething bling, and my baby has gone past the chewing everything in sight phase.

This will definitely be a gift to the next girlfriend of mine who has a baby. Especially love the Jade, Turquoise, Pink Cupcake and Cotton.

TIEKS BY GAVRIELI


Travelling mums hear this - I have found the ultimate in travel shoes!

I was surfing the net for Christmas presents (and best travel items) when I came across Tieks. They are quite literally, the best discovery I have made in a while.
Tieks are basically foldable ballet flats that come in their own little bag, and can fit into your purse. Plus, they come in lots of nice colours, so despite them being abit pricey, I ordered a pair in Metallic Pewter (the other colours I wanted were all sold out!).

Your Tieks are delivered to you in the prettiest blue box with a flower on top - which is supposed to match the colour of shoes you ordered, but mine were silver so. Pink ? Anyway, it's not some cheapo fake flower either. The stigma/stamen (?! my science is rusty) bit is actually jewelled, and the elastic band attached to the flower makes it re-useable as a hair tie!

These show my Tieks folded up next to my iPhone. You can see that it will fit into most people's handbags quite easily.

Finally, when I tried them on and walked around, I could not believe how shoes that can be folded in half could be so comfortable!! Although they are compact, they are not flimsy either. The leather is of a good quality, the soles are non slip, and the heel doesn't dig in at all.

My only slight complaint is that the leather looks a little 'wrinkly' when you put the shoes on. I know this is because they are soft and foldable, thus they take the shape of your foot. But that isn't going to deter me from ordering another pair! Obsidian Black? Mustard Yellow? Wild Copper? I'm on the waitlist...

MONSTER MUNCH


Just tried these yummy crisps that I bought from Swiss Butchery. Ketchup flavour did sound abit dubious, but they actually taste quite subtle! Not at all the strong, tangy taste I was expecting - like you get with tomato Twisties. Good for kids. Well, they're not good for children, but you know what I mean. They are bland enough to be palatable to kids! Not to be confused with the UK version of Monster Munch (which is alot cuter but probably alot more unhealthy).
