My Baba Measure: What’s Hot This Week

Baby Event, Blue Almonds

A date for your diary! Blue Almonds are hosting an unmissable baby event in their shop in Walton Street SW3 on Tuesday 23 November, and it’s a must-attend for any pregnant mama to be in need of expert advice and tips.

With top parenting experts Tiffany Norris aka Mummy Concierge, Clare Charman, The Kensington Wing’s Senior Midwife and Alexa Taylor aka The London Baby Coach, you’ll be given advice on everything to expect once your baby is born. Topics include:

  • Preparing for labour
  • Looking after your body after the birth
  • Sleep deprivation once baby arrives
  • Implementing a gentle routine
  • Baby equipment ‘must haves’
  • Mummy hacks to make life easier

After the talk, there will be an extra treat for our Mums-to-be. For 1 hour there will be free 5min hand massages from the lovely therapists at Lucie App so you will leave feeling relaxed and pampered.

Tickets cost £25, including a goodie bag worth over £100 + 15% off in-store purchases on the day (some exclusions apply) + 20% off voucher for any massage or manicure booked via the Lucie App.

You can buy your tickets on Eventbrite.

Anoris T i-Size, CYBEX

CYBEX has launched another ground-breaking product with its new car seat the CYBEX Anoris T i-Size, and have set a new industry standard in terms of safety.

Thanks to its integrated airbag technology, the forward-facing seat offers approximately 50% more protection than conventional forward-facing seats and is at least as safe as rear-facing car seats. We know toddlers love to forward face, and now they can, as safely as they would rearface.

The Anoris T i-Size is simple to install and provides more comfort, legroom and easy entry into the seat. A complete gamechanger in the car seat industry. Bravo, Cybex.

Organix Advent Calendar

Organix has created the ultimate advent calendar for toddlers and kids 18m+. An organic, non-chocolate advent calendar alternative for happy healthy kids.

Behind each door of their toddler advent calendar, your little elves will find one of their favourite Organix snacks, either a Mini Raspberry & Apple Oaty Bite, an Apple & Orange Oaty Bite or a scrummy Jammie Monster biscuit. What’s not to love?

Race Santa, Barnardos

With just weeks to go until Christmas, runners and walkers are needed to join forces to Race Santa ‘around the world’ and raise money for Barnardos. 

Starting on December 1st each participant will need to complete 24 miles or more to help the UK’s leading children’s charity reach its fundraising target, right before Father Christmas delivers his presents on December 24th. Everyone who takes on the Race Santa challenge will be encouraged to ask for people to sponsor them.  

They will also be encouraged to share pictures and updates with their supporters along the way. Participants can use the hashtag of #RaceSanta to share them with the rest of the Race Santa team.  

The collective target is a distance of 24,901 miles – the circumference of the globe – because this is the distance Father Christmas will travel on Christmas Eve.

Visit Barnardos to find out more about Race Santa. Are you up for the #RaceSanta challenge?

This cookie has never felt like a smart cookie no matter how hard she tries, especially in comparison to all the clever cupcakes and brilliant rolls in the bakery.

And she keeps her promise.

With a conservation message and facts about tree science alongside the magic and wonder of seven beautifully imagined original stories, this full-colour gift book enchants and reminds us of the importance of trees in our lives.
