Item of the day: Baby boy keepsake box from Next

I've been meaning to get a baby memory box to store some of my favourite bits in. I saved a few bits from the shower and we've had some really cute cards (plus I've had the test in a pencil case for months - really!) so it would be nice to have something to keep… Continue reading Item of the day: Baby boy keepsake box from Next

Roald Dahl meets John Lewis

I challenge you to find anyone under the age of 40 who didn't love at least one Roald Dahl book growing up - and probably still loves said book!
