Dinner with a difference Every now and again we find a product so unique we have to include it, even if you have to buy online. This Japanese bamboo tray and dining set is really innovative. Lined up in their proper order, knives, forks and spoons fit in cut out shapes and complement the beautifully simple bamboo plates and bowls. The entire set comes in a beautiful bamboo basket box. Seems funny for the Japanese to teach our kids how to eat with knives and forks, but stranger things have happened… The Funfam Table Set is available at www.littlefashiongallery.com
The company ships worldwide.

At least it makes you feel better and brings a smile to your face! RRP: $9.95. Available online at www.coolgifts.com.au
No more sleepless nights
Babywedge is essentially a cushion with adjustable support that keeps your baby safe. It’s useful for elevating your baby to avoid colic and reflux but also helps mum as a back support, or pregnancy leg-lift. Like many simple solutions, once you have one you’ll find all kinds of other uses. RRP: $119.00. Babywedge is available at Toys R Us or Bubs Baby Shop, Noosaville. Phone: 5449 0035. Alternatively visit: www.babywedge.com.au
Less is more Sometimes what kids don’t know won’t hurt them, and this is one of those times. New, Sweet William Mud Chocolate Spread boasts 60% less sugar than most other brands. It’s also nut-free, dairy-free and gluten free, so there’s no wonder it was highly commended for innovation and excellence in the 2009 Food Challenge awards. It still tastes just as good, but it’s better for them so it makes parents smile too. Mud is available at Woolworths. For more information visit www.sweetwilliam.com.au
Your very own robot Ask any parent for their wish list and more often than not it includes a house cleaner. That’s why we thought you’d love to hear about the Roomba vacuum. Rather like one of those automatic pool cleaners that inch their way along, it quietly perambulates around your house sucking up dust and grime. Imagine returning from work to find the floor clean! The in-built sensors tell you when the brushes need cleaning, dust bin is full or it needs recharging. RRP: $599. For a demonstration rush down to Harvey Norman or find out more at www.salton.com.au
