Join our Virtual Christmas Shopping Fayre - Buy Your Gifts And Support Small Businesses

In support of small businesses throughout the year mumandworking feature our 4 Family Shops, that's family run companies that deserve our support.  Now we'd like to introduce to you our pick of the bunch for our
'Virtual Christmas Shopping Fayre'
Mia and Dom Organic Botanicals

We specialise in skin care for pregnancy, babies and sensitive skin, but it is great for everyone!
 
Our award winning organic, handmade, products combine skin-loving botanical oils and butters, infused with essential oils to deliver skin care that provides nourishment and delight for the most delicate skin.
 
The business has literally blossomed from my desire to use only natural products on our children Mia & Dominic. Our son, Dominic suffered with severe eczema from a very early age, and I couldn't find any products that worked, that didn't contain steroids, so I decided to make some myself.
 
All our products are unique formulations, specifically designed by Jen to ensure they combine everything needed, and nothing else!
 
Our ethos is, and always will be; to use the very best ingredients and provide our customers with beautiful, organic, natural and safe skin care for their family.
 
JimblesJimJams

JimblesJimJams is a luxury British children's pyjama brand, combining grown-up quality with a bold, fun style.
 
Their beautiful brushed cotton twill flannel fabric is super-soft, but also hardwearing enough for den-building, being beamed into outer space (i.e. to the kitchen) or completing a sofa-cushion assault course. The fabric is long-lasting and won't lose its shape or - horror of horrors - go bobbly! And the labels are completely sewn in so there's no hint of scratchiness.
 
Just as kids love playing with 'real' toys, it feels like a treat to receive a pair of grown-up pyjamas. They could even be passed down through the generations. (In case you're starting to feel jealous, we make pyjamas for Mums too.)
 
The luxury's in the details:
 
*Portuguese brushed cotton
*Engraved wooden buttons
*Contrast piping
*Fully sewn-in label - not scratchy!
*No pesky pilling - our fabric doesn't bobble
*Velvet drawstring - cord is fixed, so can't be pulled out by curious toddlers
 
With bold colours and comfy fabric, it's impossible to wake up anything but bright in these jim-jams.
