Natural Rubber Swan Toy | Large
Brilliant success!
Our almost 5 year old granddaughter was totally absorbed by this on Christmas Day! Easy for her to play independently and a great stepping stone to working out her own tunes too.

Beautiful boutique
I bought “hope is the thing with feathers,” a poetry book, from you. It is a perfect gift for a family I know who would appreciate this. Finding your shop was serendipitous and I’m really glad I did! I had a lovely conversation with the lady who placed my order. All in all it was a lovely experience to have in my lunch break!

A perfect gift
I bought this book for parents-to-be who practice mindfulness and yoga, so I knew this lovely book would be perfect for them and their new baby. The illustrations are beautiful and the story is very gentle. A perfect gift for a relaxing bedtime routine.
