I took the liberty of a short break from Grand Baby last May, some much anticipated time away with my hubby and my boys, and found such a wonderful place I just had to share it with you!

Now normally I spend an age debating where to go on holiday and where to stay, but I’d stumbled into Fiona from Coombe Mill whilst networking on twitter and face book, and after taking a look at Coombe Mill on facebook, and then the website just couldn’t believe it – could one place really be so toddler & child friendly?

This week we are giving away some of our favourite products over on The Gingerbread House blog with Jenny ( @gingerbread_mum ).

We are very proud to be stockists of top quality swedish brand Teddykompaniet whose products are nearly all washable and safe for all ages so their soft toys are perfect for newborns too. From their range of "Peppe" and "Peppelina" gingerbread soft toys we stock both the small and large gingerbread men and gingerbread ladies, the small ones make perfect gingerbread boys and gingerbread girls! They go perfectly with our Child's Play Gingerbread Man lift the flap story book and CD, and to top it all the Teddykompaniet Forest Friends Fox makes a great accompaniment for an animated story or activity.

We are out of stock of the large size gingerbread man as they have been so popular we are waiting for more to be made and arrive with us in February, we can take orders on them and send as soon as they arrive.

Jenny's The Gingerbread House blog is full of gingerbread links, stories and product reviews, lots of baking and crafting and just like us she has a love for vintage and handmade and like me two little terrors under three!

You can find out how to win a Gingerbread Man Book and CD, Small Gingerbread Man and lovely Fox soft toy on her blog here.
