Mickey and the Roadster Racers: Hot Doggin’ Hot Rod remote control car review

Toys & games / 15 August 2017

This week we’ve been reviewing the Mickey and the Roadster Racers Hot Doggin’ Hot Rod remote control car from IMC Toys. As big Mickey and Minnie fans, we’d previously reviewed some Mickey and the Roadster Racers toys here; these were (and still are) really popular with the kids so I very much looked forward to this one arriving. When it arrived, […]

Schleich Horse Club Pintabian mare and stallion review

Toys & games / 12 August 2017

This week we’ve been playing with the Schleich Horse Club Pintabian mare and stallion. Schleich is a brand that you may well be familiar with from your own childhood. I have memories of going into toy shops and seeing tall stands with rows of hard animal figures and to me as a child they were fascinating. Schleich have in fact been

A review of Lottie dolls and Finn dolls - Whinge Whinge Wine

A review of Lottie and Finn dolls

Toys & games / 24 July 2017

I first became aware of Lottie dolls when we wrote this post. I liked her because she’s not a princess, but a normal little girl without jewellery, makeup or ridiculous proportions, but who you can still dress up and play with like any other doll. As a mother keen for my child not to grow up too soon, it appeals to

A blast from the past: Puppy Surprise mummy dog and puppies toy review

Toys & games / 11 July 2017

This week we were asked to review the Puppy Surprise toy from Flair. At first, I was a bit confused. I never had my own Puppy Surprise but I thought they were a thing of my childhood. A little Google told me that they were in fact released in 1991, and there are even some vintage ones on Ebay if

Hatchimals CollEGGtibles 48-piece Mystery Puzzle jigsaw review

Toys & games / 27 June 2017

This week we were asked to review the new Hatchimals CollEGGtibles 48-piece Mystery Puzzle jigsaw by Spinmaster. Although the big one was a bit young to join in the original Hatchimals craze when it hit over Christmas for which I was very thankful, she has become a bit obsessed by the new Hatchimals CollEGGtibles (collectibles, geddit? What a great yolk).

Please your picky preschooler and choose toys they’ll love with help from Wicked Uncle

Toys & games / 16 May 2017

Why do giraffes have such long necks? Because they have smelly feet.* Now that I have your attention, let me tell you about Wicked Uncle. I’ve worked with Wicked Uncle twice before. The first time, just over a year ago, was my very first experience of being sent anything for review and I could not rave about them enough. The Whingelets

A small Whingelet’s Christmas list with Wicked Uncle

Toys & games / 1 November 2016

Wicked Uncle was the very first brand I worked with as a blogger, in this post back in April. We were totally spoilt. They were a great company to work with and the kids loved their toys, so when I saw that they were looking for bloggers to work with in the run up to Christmas, naturally I begged them

How to not give crap presents with Wicked Uncle review

Toys & games / 4 April 2016

I was very excited to be contacted by a website, Wicked Uncle. It might sound like a dodgy band name but Wicked Uncle is in fact a website aimed primarily at relatives of children who have been tasked with buying a gift and have absolutely no idea what to go for. The idea was that I could choose some toys
