From keepsake books and Wake Up Gigs to Shaun the Sheep sleeping bags and a Fireman Sam film, here’s what the My Baba team are loving this week. Our weekly feature will highlight the best children and lifestyle brands to buy from right now and why we think they’re brilliant.
Capture their childhood journey with The Book Of You. It’s a keepsake journal that your children are allowed to fill out once a year. Inspired by baby milestone books, Colour Chronicles founder wanted to continue the journey beyond her daughter’s first year. Each year has a double page: one side for the parent and one side for the child to fill out. The journal ends 16 years and is a fantastic keepsake for you or your child.
