It’s the month of love, and at Leclerc Baby, they want to show how much they value all the mums and dads (to-be) with a great gift in the form of a complimentary embroidery with every purchase of a Leclerc Baby buggy or newborn bundle. Your beautiful new stroller will be personalised with the name of your little one, the one you cherish most.
The Leclerc Baby strollers are lightweight, safe, compact and one of the best features is that you can fold and unfold this pushchair by one hand in 1.5 seconds!
Have a look at their website to see the fabulous strollers and find the one that’s right for you and your growing family.
Offer valid February 2022 only.
Time to ditch the cliché flowers, chocolates, and prosecco, and get your Valentine something a bit different this year – something that really will WOO or WOW them! Airtasker is a trusted community marketplace for local services where you can get anything done.
Rather than spending up to £100 on a bunch of roses and box of posh chocolates, why not set your own budget using Airtasker and send something bespoke. For something kind to your loved one and the planet, task a gardener to plant their favourite flowers in the garden / outdoor space – it will have a longer shelf life as a gift and is bound to give you brownie points, especially ahead of spring.
Or rather than spending £150 plus in a fancy restaurant and messing about with cabs, why not hire a private home chef to come to you and cook a wonderful 3-course meal in the comfort of your own home – plus that’s the washing up sorted!
Alternatively, perhaps your Valentine has wanted a job done / or finished around the house, like getting that flat-packed Ikea wardrobe assembled that’s been sitting in the box gathering dust for months. Or perhaps building them a pizza oven in the garden ready for summer? The list goes on!
No job is too big, too small or off limits with Airtasker – simply go online, post your task along with how much you’re willing to pay … and choose from verified/reviewed service providers ready to work straight away… job done!
Alternatively, if you have the skills to help someone create their ideal Valentine’s Day gift as a Tasker, you could quickly earn money doing jobs you love!
SteamCream is offering money off their Rose Absolute and Cleansing Balm when you buy them together, costing just £28 rather than the usual £35.90!

SteamCream’s products are cruelty-free, vegan, and packaged in the most beautiful aluminium tins, so they’re lightweight, and completely recyclable.

Peak Design, a worldwide leader in travel and everyday carry, has relaunched its innovative Travel Line this week. Revered for its convenience, comfort, access and durability, they’ve added new additions across the line to provide consumers with greater choice when it comes to sizing, features and pricing.
We love the Travel Duffel – brilliant for a hospital bag to stash everything you need for you and your new arrival. Designed with super-durable (theft-deterrent) UltaZips and an extra-long zip path that provides significantly wider access than traditional duffels for easy packing and visibility, great for accessing the right-sized baby grows in a panic!
Peak Design’s new packing cubes are a must for any hospital bag. You can seal away nappies, cotton wool, and other newborn essentials in one clean, dry place, and their packing tote is brilliant for those extras you might want to leave in the car!
