Playtime ...

Last week I came into the office to find Susan (one of the owners of Mamissima) walking around pushing a duck on a stick. Today, Kerry (one of the lovely girls that works in our Brighton boutique) has been whizzing a train around in a spinning top, and I have been tickling the ivories on a little piano. So much fun! We are now stocked to the brim with the most wonderful toys and gifts, that you won't find on the high street, that are made to last, and that you and your little ones will love this Christmas. Many are timeless classics, such as spinning tops, but my favourite (because I loved my toy kitchen when I was little) is this adorable Wooden Kitchen. It is double sided - one side is to play cooking, with a hotplate, oven, microwave and cookware, the other side has a sink, washing machine, magnetic board and magnet. Everything you would find in a grown-up kitchen in one neat little stand! It is beautifully made so will last forever and will be something you would be happy to have lying around the house (far better than all that pink plastic). Buy on-line www.mamissima.co.uk or come and pick one up from the Brighton store 82 North Road, Brighton, BN1 1YD 01273 626676
