Shnuggle - The Hypoallergenic Modern Moses Basket!


My Funny Bunny are pleased to announce the launch and availabilty of Shnuggle – The Modern Moses Basket™, which is 100% made in the UK.

Shnuggle™ takes a modern twist on the traditional Moses basket, by taking all the things that 
parents like about traditional baskets and adding a few more things they will love!

Available in pink, blue, green and other designs.


The main problems with traditional woven baskets are they can be very noisy & creaky; are extremely difficult to clean and home to dust mites which can contribute towards allergies which 1 in 5 babies will suffer. (Source http://www.babycentre.co.uk)

Furthermore, after a few weeks of use the basket can weaken as fibres start to break. These broken strands can harm the baby, and worse lead to a broken handle! And a little known fact is that all woven baskets need to be fumigated before use, which leaves residual chemicals throughout the basket. (Source http://www.babyworld.co.uk)

Shnuggle™ is different as the amazing new basket is a one piece moulding made from a hypoallergenic, flexible polymer. The outside of the basket has a tactile soft-touch finish, while the inside is smooth and easy to clean. The weight and feel of the basket is the same, but is around 10% larger to allow more growing room for baby. 


When the basket need to be cleaned, the dressings are fully machine washable, and the basket can be thoroughly cleaned with soapy water and even sterilised with a mild bleach solution such as Milton®. 

The handles on Shnuggle™ are made from a beautiful 100% cotton webbing, which is super-highstrength and attached to the basket with military grade fasteners. These fixing are secure against all force unless released in a special way, allowing removal for cleaning or replacement. 

Shnuggle™ is fully tested to exceed the requirements of BS EN 1466, and is free of BPA and phthalates, so parents can be assured that their baby is in safe hands.

Features:
Silent operation to help baby & parent sleep
Basket is stronger which is safer for baby
Fully vented to ensure airflow around baby and prevent overheating
Hypo-Allergenic materials to prevent allergic reactions
Up to 10% larger than traditional Moses Baskets
Fully immersable base for Hygienic cleaning
Choice of beautiful Cotton & Fleece fabrics.
Removable cotton handles
100% Made in the UK

Emma's TV appeal | Sponsor a Room | Centrepoint

Emma's TV appeal | Sponsor a Room | Centrepoint

It's hard to put into words what having a safe, warm room means to a young person who's been homeless.

So we thought we'd show you. Our new TV ad was shot in a real Centrepoint room, on the tiniest of budgets (it's filmed entirely on Emma's mobile phone).

The more people that see this and become room sponsors the more young lives we can change.

So please, share it with as many people as possible using the links on their website.

Give them Seedboms and....Kabloom!!

War here, war there, war everywhere.... Sadly there are wars in many places and in my opinion they usually are for all the wrong reasons.

That is what I think about when bombs are mentioned and obviously it brings sadness to my heart. Well no more is that the case! Not when I heard about Seedboms !!!


Let us tell you a bit about them... Seedboms are friendly bombs ready to explode with flower power. Tools for  responsible rebels and guerrilla gardeners in the war against weary wastelands.

Join forces with nature in the fight to transform lifeless spaces with a blast of colour!

"Seedboms put the power to beautify in the hands of everyone” says Richard Reynolds from www.guerrillagardening.org

Seedboms are handmade in the UK from locally reclaimed and recycled materials such as post consumer paper, egg boxes. They also contain organic peat free compost, organic fertiliser and a selection of easy to grow flower seeds. 

Seedboms break down over time and completely biodegrade into the environment!

Seedboms are in a pack of 4, each pack contains the following flower seed varieties:
Native wildflower mix, Nasturtium Peach melba, Cornfield annual mix & Sunflower incredible.
Packaging contains a minimum of 90% post consumer recycled waste, is produced from chlorine free (EFC) pulp and is printed using vegetable based inks.

So there it is!!! What do you want more?!

They are also great to play with your kids, definitely an exciting new way of growing flowers! Take them somewhere that they can throw it and go back to check on the progress of the flowers!!!

They are great for a totally eco alternative to party bag fillers, there are 4 in a pack (each with their own gift tag!) so not so costly as you give one out per child and you can be sure no one will forget your party!!! Stand out from the crowd...all the mummies will be talking about your party.

Not only will you give a great totally biodegradable gift (you will be helping the environment) but you will also give the best gift ever... an opportunity for those kids to spend some extra quality time with their parents (to try them out of course ;) )! 




Super awesome I say!!!


So go on... THROW IT & GROWN IT! ................. KABLOOM *explosion sound effects* ;)

You can get your very own seedboms right now at www.myfunnybunny.com

Wilko Suncare Products Review

We tested both Wilko Suncare Aftersun Lotion & Kids Moisturising Sun Lotion spf 50, both 200ml bottles.


Available at http://www.wilkinsonplus.com/ or your local store

These products are gently fragranced, I am not a great fan of added smells but I must say that the aftersun lotion smells great!

The aftersun lotion feels nice and cool when you put it on your skin and it actually looks kinda gel like until you start spreading it, then it actually magically turns into a white cream!! It does feel nice and moisturising too, my hands and arms felt silky smooth.

Although I must say I wasn't really sunburnt in the first place, it did feel nice and fresh after being out in the sun. It does contain Aloe Vera and Vitamin E which is a plus too.

The Kids sun lotion is purple!!! Yes purple!!!

My son is not a big fan of putting on creams and stuff like that, he is 4 and he literally ran away from me when I said I wanted to put cream on him for the sun! Lol  

I had to run after him and try to convince him about it... no luck though, until I said it was special purple cream...yes the purple cream won him over, he said he liked it cause it was "pretend paint" and then he proceeded to "painting" himself with it!! 

Yes, he was now covered in it and it was time to rub it in, it did take a while longer to rub it in but eventually he wasn't purple anymore!
It does make your skin smell nice afterwards but I just can't help thinking that its unnecessary "fake" smell... would be better if it was naturally fragranced, lavender would have been a good idea to go with the purple.

PROS:
  • Price, cheap compared to other leading brands
  • Smell nice 
  • Contains Aloe Vera & Vitamin E (aftersun lotion)
  • High SPF (sun lotion)
  • Purple colour attractive for the kids (sun lotion)
  • water resistant (sun lotion)
  • Advice on back of the bottle for sun protection & what times to avoid exposure (sun lotion)
CONS:
  • Contains Parabens
  • Contains Parfum instead of natural fragrance
  • Not easily absorbed (sun lotion)

We can't advise on how good it is in terms of protection from the sun as we did not over expose ourselves or the kids obviously! 

It's great considering the price! Cheap & does the job, great if you are on a budget.
