Bagabook - saves the day!







You know sometimes you find a product that was made for one use, but you decide it has another? Well Bagabook was like that for me.... Let me give you an insight from their website what the ladies who designed it designed it for......








The product was designed so you could read on the train and hide the fact you were reading Harry Potter, Janet and John or even Emmanualle..... read with no limits...




But me being me found another splendid use for Bagabook. I do a lot of exhibitions for work - where I need a notebook A5 is ideal, a pen, Bagabook has a penholder within and somewhere to keep my business cards..... et voila! No more struggling with handbag and briefcase around shows for me! Bagabook is an ideal accompaniment to any fair!



The one i have is a beige mock-crock style, with shoulder bag style handles (although they are a tad short if I'm honest, if you have a jacket on they won't fit over your shoulders unless you are tiny so it becomes a hand carrying one really.



The nice clasp features the Bagabook logo - which is very well designed and has a real expensive desinger look about it. The clasp is magnetic so the bag extends to any size book...



For reading or note making - I love my Bagabook!



I think they should do a range with notebooks already inside with pens, they would make great gift ideas and could be Baganote maybe?



See http://www.bagabook.com/ for all the sizes and colours available!



(Hey I just had an email off the company - and they have addressed the handle issue, they are making them bigger so it IS a shoulder bag - how cool is this company to listen to customer comments!! )

Toy Fair


I've been to Toy Fair! And seen all the lovely new products that will be winging their way to our shelves for Christmas 2010! Yes I know - I did not want to think about Christmas either - but its my job to sadly!


So, I've seen some wonderful helicopters from a company called Blades - which Himself says he will write you a reveiw on soon...he came too and got given a free sample - bless his little flirty socks.... anyway - he's not stopped playing with his chopper since!! :-)
I saw some lovely girly bits and pieces, a charming wooden tea set from John Crane Ltd plus High Tea Shape Matching - which I love!!
Corinthian Marketing - the people who do Puppy in my Pocket have brought out Ocean in my Pocket, and our little one was lucky enough to get sent some before Christmas - he loves the cute Octopus and Hammer Head Shark.
Next week I am off to Spring Fair at the NEC so will hope to bring you some more toy news and views, maybe we should try and predict the Christmas Top ten Toys now..... off to Ladbrokes anyone?!?!?!
