Name of product: Bonnie Baby Clothing
Price: From £10.00
The blurb: Tracey Samuel says “Bonnie Baby was born in 2004 after the birth of my daughter Alice Bee – and like her, the business has been developing and growing ever since. With over ten years’ experience as a fashion designer, most recently for Paris fashion house Sonia Rykiel, I quickly realized that my new life as a mother would not fit well around the hectic Paris-London commute! So I took the plunge to set up Bonnie baby, creating beautifully designed high-quality baby clothes in luxury fabrics. Of course, with my new found experience as a mum, I made sure all of our baby and toddler clothes are machine washable to make life that little bit easier!”
First impressions: Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. The blanket and sleep suit arrived deliciously packaged in cartons. The packaging is lovely and is the icing on the cake when unwrapping these lovely little outfits. The sleep suit is beautifully soft and snugly for precious little munchkins. The blanket matches the sleep suit and is reversible, soft and cosy for those Autumnal walks
Ease of Use: The sleep suit is size 3 – 6 months and although my son is a bit of a long legged, chubby monster, it is a good fit (he is 4months) although I am not sure he will still be able to wear it at 6 months . I love to pop him into a sleep suit, especially one smart enough to make other Dulwich Mums green with envy. The suit is actually so cute that we decided to pop him in it for a friends Christening…this however was before my partner and I decided to trim his nails and I promptly chopped off the end of his thumb (oh the shame). On a positive note I can truly say that the suit washed extremely well and that any trace of our appalling parenting was removed…phew
Before Mummy got out the nail scissors After….opps
Pros: Beautiful unusual designs in super soft fabrics and so hard wearing, they will wash and wear well
Cons: I have fallen in love with the new super soft rainbow collection and am just working on a strategy to sneak these in to our chubby mans wardrobe without his father noticing. I also feel the sizes could be a little more generous (either that or I have to admit my little one is a bit of a brute)
Value for money: These are gorgeous pieces for any little ones wardrobe and a wonderful may to initiate that…’I would love to ask where that suit is from but refuse to give her the satisfaction’ look in many a passing parent!

First impressions: The view of London from The London Eye is a complete “must do” for anyone visiting London! A great day out or special experience for all the family or treat for that special someone, the vista of London from the pod is truly amazing
London Eye River Cruise is a relaxing sightseeing provides a view of London from another perspective with an informative commentary from the tour Guide who was very entertaining
Ease of Use: Collecting the tickets for both Champagne Experience and River Cruise couldn’t have been more simple, just amble up to the priority check in desk 15 minutes before the allocated time
Pros: Customer service was excellent, from the very friendly and helpful lady who greeted us at check in, to the guide who accompanied us on the tour and served our champagne. We skipped the long queue at boarding, which is a great time saver when you’re sightseeing for example or with impatient children
There were nine people in our pod and the tour Guide was very attentive and accommodating; happily offering to take photos for everyone in the group
The cruise was perfect, with an interesting commentary and fabulous views. There was lots of space on board the boat and nice food available from the cafeteria
Cons: There is not a lot of time allocated to get from the London Eye to the allocated Cruise! If you miss it – you will need to purchase new ticket (YIKES!)
Value for money: The entire experience was unforgettable and the memories are priceless! This was great value for money
