Pretty please go up to a size 4 in these boots, Heatons Stores, because I need them for my winter wardrobe!
Heatons have gone for traditional autumnal colours in their home range. Foxes and owls and stags all over the show. Always a good thing.
The clothing in Heatons is well priced, and is my go-to place for good fitting, well washing cardigans.
Also have my eye on their fair weather men's hoodie.
The first one is my favourite.
Civil partnership cake.
Bagpipes by Essence Cakes.
Scotland is peppered with Castles, ruins and history.
Your basic flag. Probably the hardest one I should attempt.
Cheer up, love. Your dress is made of cake.
Love the cupcakes made to be grass.
Bottom-baring kilt
Nessie
Scottish terrier aka Scotty Dogs
A thistle, good enough to eat.
Irn an Irn Bru cake by Adventures in Cakes.
And finishing with my second favourite.
My son loves this, really, really loves this. He's used to parcels arriving for me daily crammed with things to review for you guys on here. It's always ten times more exciting when it's a toy or children's magazine to test out. But now with The Sticker Club, for a subscription of £1.99 a week, he gets his own post in a bright yellow envelope, addressed just for him.
There are different subscriptions to pick, and you can gift them to send to a niece, nephew or grandchild at their own address. Each envelope comes with nine sheets of diffent stickers, usually three of each artist's distinctive style. Super for decorating books, bikes, whatever!

Check out this cool new product currently launching on Kickstarter. The Tidy Freaks are 3 really adorable characters that “eat” the rubbish in your car.
The Tidy Freaks have been designed to excite the imagination of children so that they feed their rubbish into the characters mouths. The rubbish is then held in a wipe clean liner until it is ready to be emptied.
To find out how you can help launch this brilliant project and be one of the first to receive a Tidy Freak of your very own, visit the Tidy Freak Kickstarter Page.

Flicking through my inbox of PR emails this morning, this cosy selection of onesies and jim jams looked very appealing. Marks & Spencer have a great selection for the whole family, which can be ordered online and delivered for free to your local branch. Here are some of my favourite kids' pyjamas.
Girls' Batman jammies!
Anyone else going Frozen crazy this Christmas? Can't wait.
Two pack of pandas.
Jammies with a cape. A cape. You didn't know you wanted jammies with a cape until this morning, but now you do.
And yes, it's got a big, red, baboon bum.
Very sweet baby onesies too.
Mum doesn't get left out. Look at this super soft, cosy jammie top.
These are slippers! They look good enough to wear outside!
