Applecrumby & Fish: Sugar & Spice and Everything Nice

Product Review

When I first shared about the lovely products from Applecrumby & Fish, I got so many queries from friends about the pretty lunch bags, and many commented on how adorable and colorful their products were. This month, the items sent over by Applecrumby & Fish wowed me once again. To my girls, the packages from Applecrumby & Fish are like treasure boxes full of wonderful goodies. It’s impossible for little girls not to love the things from them – They are all so girlie and pretty!

This fluffy and soft rabbit was immediately claimed by Joey because she said it’s named after her. =P This Moulin Roty Little Rabbit comes in a beautiful gift box with its name and makes a great companion for bedtime.

Even I cannot stop cuddling Jo Jo. She’s so soft!

Another doll that got delivered to our house was this elegant one in its own lilac box. Such dolls are great for make believe play, and for storytelling. Jayne has been using the Moulin Roty Les Parisiennes Mademoiselle Eglantine Doll in many of the stories she spins. :)

The quality is unmatchable, seriously. Every stitch is perfectly done – Even the clothes that the doll wears is made of very good material. Makes a really presentable gift for little girls, methinks.

How about some really adorable plates and cutlery sets?! Every kid will look forward to mealtimes with such colorful and pretty wares – Hopefully help create bigger appetites too! =)

Love this butterfly plate complete with matching fork and spoon! There’s a compartment for rice, another for meat and yet another for veggies! Some kids’ plates can be a little too small, but these are big and spacious enough. Love them!

Storage is often the biggest headache for all parents with young kids. Once the kids come into your life, even your designer homes can be turned into ruins if you do not have proper storage for the many toys they have. I love these storage options from Kathe Kruse – Not only are they practical and useful, they are also extremely pretty and sweet. Even the packaging is so lovely!

Look how spacious the box is when you unfold it. The girls now keep their rainbow loom boxes and their favorite accessories and toys inside. The box may be made of fabric, but it’s sturdy and stays in shape. There’re handles on both sides for easy lifting as well.

Nothing beats pretty-looking storage that not only helps to keep stuffs neatly together, but also plays a part in beautifying the room.

Just when I thought that storage cannot get any prettier, there were these two from Oskar & Ellen, which were just too sweet!!! This pink cupcake soft storage basket is perfect for storing lego, building blocks and even soft toys! Don’t you adore how pretty it is??

It’s big and spacious, and height of the basket can be adjusted, depending on the load you have. Because it’s soft, it takes the shape of whatever items are placed in it. No more worries about storing odd-shaped items because this basket is perfect for such!

I even joked with the kids that if they have a baby sister, I can bring this bag out and let her sleep in the shopping mall when she’s tired. =P

And so, they jumped right in! Putting it into perspective – It fits Jayne comfortably!

And even Joey could sit in it! Look how thrilled these girls got from sitting in ….. storage baskets. Haha!

But of course, we decided to store our soft toys in them instead. It keeps everything compact and neat and can be shifted easily because of the handles as well.

Apart from the useful items for storage and meal times, Applecrumby & Fish also sent over some toys for the girls. Now, this stamp set from Moulin Roty got even ME excited! I can imagine how many cute cards I can make with these stamps!

IMG_4202

I don’t know about your kids, but Jayne can spend hours just stamping and stamping on recycled paper if I let her. I’m still waiting for a rainy day to bring out the stamp set for her to stamp away. =P And actually, with different animal characters, you can even create a storyboard or a picture with the stamps and then let the kids color them. The possibilities are endless!

These last two toy sets from Stephen Joseph that I’m sharing are my favorite of this month’s loots! My girls love to play cooking, and these are really good quality wooden cooking and sweets sets. They are cute and colorful – Definitely makes the play so much more fun! =D

IMG_4197 IMG_4198

I’m sure you can tell how much fun my girls had on that rainy afternoon we were stuck at home. I am now convinced that good quality toys make a big difference to play time, and are also more timeless compared to cheaper plastic options.

IMG_4233 IMG_4234 IMG_4235

Don’t you just love the two-tier cupcake stand?? Mega adorable! =D

IMG_4236 IMG_4237

The set even comes with a wooden tray for serving, and a pretty table cloth. We had a royal tea party that day in the girls’ bedroom. Best rainy day program ever!
