The must have items for mums and little ones this summer…
Pippeta Mamma Power Patch
Summer travels, hot weather, and morning sickness? Not exactly the dream combo. That’s why the Pippeta Mamma Power Patch is a true summer essential. Packed with vital nutrients like B12, Folate, and Magnesium, these clever patches help boost energy, ease fatigue, and support baby’s development, all without the need for hard-to-swallow pills. They’re easy to pack, gentle on sensitive tummies, and totally waterproof (hello pool days!). Just peel, stick, and power on through pregnancy or postpartum with one less thing to worry about.

The Famous Five Starter Pack from Voxblock is the perfect screen-free entertainment for curious kids this summer. Packed with adventure, the set includes a Voxblock audiobook player, protective bumper, and three thrilling Famous Five audiobooks by Enid Blyton. With no screens, apps, or Wi-Fi needed, children can enjoy stories independently at home, on long journeys, or by the seaside. The durable design and simple controls make it ideal for young listeners. Loved by parents and kids alike, Voxblock brings back the joy of storytelling. Just pop in a block and press play. A summer essential for fun and fuss-free listening.
Joolz Aer²
Meet the new Joolz Aer², an ultra-compact and lightweight stroller that gives parents exactly what they need: an extra hand, because Joolz knows that parenting often feels like you need at least three hands—one for the baby, one for the bags, and one to juggle it all. Quite simply, you can do nearly everything with this stroller one handed, in seconds – whether it’s the super compact one hand fold (which is even aeroplane overhead locker compatible), steering, reclining (into lie flat, suitable from birth mode) or adjusting the integrated leg rest or harness, it is truly effortless!
