Stamptastic



With two little boys now at school, I am always looking for ways to cut-down on all the labels to sew on schoolwear. Having never really got on with iron-on labels, I was delighted to discover these fantastic stamps that print on fabric, wood, plastic - pretty much anything you need to label. So with a new term approaching I got to work trying them out. I found the stamps very easy and quick to use and found that they stamped much better on some materials than others. They were perfect for quick fixes for PE tops and polo shirts, but where they were really useful is on 'difficult to label things' like rubber diving sticks and swimming hats! After several washes the stamps on the PE tops and polo shirts have faded slightly, but who minds when it is only take seconds to stamp again.

A personalised stamp with ink pad costs from £16.99. For more information visit www.stamptastic.co.uk

New Year Toy Clearout


Our house is overrun with lego. My boys love it but it gets everywhere and is so painful when you tread on it. I really don't think we need 6 tubs. Just hope they don't notice when I have a bit of a clearout!

Classic toys such as Lego, Brio, Duplo and Playmobil always sell well secondhand on Nappy Valley.
