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! =)

IMG_4199

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.

IMG_4207 IMG_4210

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

IMG_4213 

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??

IMG_4221

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!

IMG_4219 

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

IMG_4220  IMG_4222 IMG_4224

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

IMG_4225

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

IMG_4229 IMG_4230

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.

IMG_4232

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!

IMG_4204

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!

Applecrumby & Fish: Fine Products For Kids

Product reviews

I simply cannot resist pretty and colorful things.

And you cannot blame me for that because I am a young lady (at heart) and a mother of two girls. It feels almost legit that my life should be filled with all things cute, pretty and lovely. That was exactly how I felt when Duchess Mercantiles (SG and MY), a distribution company of the finest premium baby goods in South East Asia, approached me and said they were going to send over some of their products for the kids. I went on to their retail segment on Applecrumby & Fish (www.applecrumbyandfish.com), and got hooked! I could not stop browsing because there were simply too many products I like!

Applecrumbly & Fish is an online shop based in Malaysia that has got a wide variety of products to meet every need of your kids and at every budget that you have. Over the next few months, I will be showcasing different products available on the online shop and share with you some of my personal favorite items. Not only are the products interesting and enticing to the kids, I am also very impressed with their quality. This is definitely the website I would recommend my friends to, if they need to shop for quality gifts or grab something for their own kids.

The kids were really excited when the products arrived at our doorstep. We had fun exploring everything, and I am already excitedly anticipating the next delivery! =P

FOR PLAY!

My kids LOVE painting, so this was definitely the first thing they wanted to work on. Such craft kits are great – Both my 8yo and 5yo enjoyed doing it together. And me? I enjoyed kicking back on the sofa with my coffee, watching them. =P

IMG_2931

There are many different characters available on the online shop, so grab something your kids like. It would encourage them to save more too, if it’s something they liked and painted themselves!

IMG_2932 IMG_2935

The final products! Jayne is the more abstract arty person here, and Joey follows the rules. Can you guess who’s whose?

IMG_2951

This pretty lilac box with a handle at the top was very interesting because it opens up to be a fashion store, complete with little hangers, a doll and some clothes for her!

 IMG_2974 2014-09-29 10.09.15

Every little girl would love this. The girls now keep their earrings and bracelets in the little drawers. It’s a storage box and a toy all in one! The doll is of really good quality – Soft, well-sewn and very cuddly!

IMG_2978 IMG_2979 IMG_2980

FOR SKINCARE!

There is a whole range of skincare, oral care and bathing products suitable for the delicate skin of babies and kids on Applecrumby & Fish. I love the Putto products that were sent over to us – They smell good and are gentle on the skin. I definitely feel safe using them on my kids. Plus, who can resist such sleek and pretty packaging?

IMG_2942

My kids get mosquito bites rather frequently, and these lotions not only helps to sooth their dry skin conditions, they also help to prevent itch.

IMG_2944

Sunscreen is also one of the necessities in my household – Not for me, but for my kids. Especially after Joey fell and suffered a cut on her forehead previously, we have been applying sunscreen on her face everyday religiously because it helps in scar recovery. This sunscreen lotion from Putto comes with 30 PA++, and is 100% natural with patented NHEB-05 Herbal Extracts! Absolutely perfect with the weather we have here in Singapore.

IMG_2946 IMG_2981

My girls LOVE to apply creams and lotions on their faces and arms, so this is a daily ritual for them. Even I love the smell!

IMG_2937 

Besides the creams and lotions, my kids also love the foaming cleanser and shampoo from Butt Naked. They are really gentle cleansers that are not overly harsh on the skin but cleanses really well. The shampoo is made of organic tea extracts and free of all parabens, sulphates and harsh detergents, and can be used from head to toe actually because of its gentle nature. The kids have been using the foaming cleanser as a body wash, and I love it that it’s easily dispensed by pressing the nozzle, and can be applied on the body immediately without water. Definitely makes it easy for the kids to do it themselves. And of course, both smell heavenly. =D

IMG_2939 IMG_2940

FOR USE!

Every lady loves a pretty bag, and it’s no exception for the little ladies in my house. You should see how their eyes lit up when these colorful bags got delivered. They are seriously too cute!

IMG_2969

Love the quality of the bags – Every detail and design is well-sewn, and they are water resistant and very hardy! Perfect for use by active kids like mine. These haversacks come in many different designs, so check them out here.

IMG_2970

These haversacks also come in lunch bag sizes, so you can get a whole set for your kids. Perfect for an excursion or a family day out! =D

IMG_2968IMG_2971  IMG_3302 IMG_3303 IMG_3304

If you’ve had a chance to browse the online store, I am sure you would agree with me that the variety is amazing, from essential products for babies to all the fancy things a grown-up toddler would like. Too spoilt for choice! Stay tuned as I share more of their products over the next few months, and I’ve got several giveaways from them as well! :)
