Last year there seemed to be a huge demand for size 4, but this year we are finding that its the size 1 and 2 that are going like hot cakes...or should I say hot puds!! If you are considering ordering a Merry Berries Xmas pud baby hat for the most reasonable price of £11, we advise not to leave it much longer. We also have some lovely Samantha Holmes Alpaca baby hats, socks, cardigans, dresses and booties in stock (as well as the luxury waterbottle - a gift for the deserving lady in your life - that lady may even be yourself!).

Thanks again - Tina

Here's a response we have received today from Margaret in Aylesbury:

"I would like to thank Tina for her attention to detail and help in securing the elusive Winnie the Pooh alphabet letters. Tina provided excellent communication both via email and telephone calls.

It certainly is a refreshing change to see such a friendly and helpful service.

I wish Tina well deserved success in the future and I wish I was a little closer so that I could come and visit the shop too! Aylesbury to Sheffield is a little too far for a daytrip!"

Well summer is hopefully here to stay (just a bit of a blip this week, but we did need it to water the gardens). Why not consider a WinGreen cottage, play tent, pavilion or theatre for entertaining the kids outdoors on their summer hols?

Easy to assemble and with a carry bag included, they are ideal for days on the beach, campsite or in the garden. Also good for getting out of the midday sun without having to find a tree! Check out the WinGreen page under our Popular Brands category

www.littlemischiefs.co.uk/popular-brands.html

As of today, we are new stockists of Skibz bibs. These funky new bibs are available in lots of different designs. They are functional, fashionable, funky and fun and a great gift for any cool baby. Check out the website for the choice of designs.
