We’re always on the lookout for thoughtful and distinctive custom-made products from around Australia and ways we can make them easily available for you. Following along on that same theme, today we thought we’d share with you some clever and simple tips and tricks the team have come across that have made us ask ourselves ‘why didn't I think of that’.
Do you get sick of the number of dirty tissues left around by little people during cold and flu season? Well this tip from Mommy Shorts is just for you. Out of one box and straight back into the other.
Mommy shorts is also the source for this great idea. Put a suspension curtain rod between the cot and the wall to make a perfect play space or reading nook for toddlers.
Need a way to keep your kids clothing on their hangers? Well this idea from In My Own Style is a peach. Pretty and practical pipe cleaners save the day again.
How about this one from Muslin and Merlot. Using a swimming noodle to prevent the door from slamming and jamming tiny fingers. Great idea. Super easy and inexpensive.
Do your kids love boiled eggs ? Delicious, quick and full of protein - but oh so frustrating if they won't peel easily. Try this tip from the Mother Nature Network. One teaspoon of baking soda added to the boiling water and the shells should slide off with ease.
As a little added extra bonus we thought we also share with you this super-clever travel chalk mat designed by Daju toys. It's portable, easy cleaning, loads of fun and available right now from Not In Shops. A perfect gift idea.
