The Foamy Gnome is on the roam!

Here it is the second Rowntrees RANDOM video below, following the adventures of a ‘foamy gnome’, Random’s special pink sweet. As is the case with Random’s, most of the time you have no idea what is going on, which is half the appeal. Also, if anyone is following the Facebook group you may find this even more confusing than the video’s:  ‘Hi ice creams! I am a teapot flower feeling monkey bike! I like Randoms, they are very squidgy chess piece. Bye post boxes!’….um, ok?  
So the story starts with the Foamy Gnome who has left his flatmates, Jedward, behind and is off on a random adventure in his giant hot air balloon. Where will he go? What will he do? And will you get anything for free? Interested parties can follow the gnome on Facebook, Flickr and Twitter to find out! www.rowntrees-randoms.co.uk
In the second video The Foamy Gnome continues his random adventure. Included is a massive people washing machine. See how much Jedward are missing him. Follow the Foamy Gnome’s antics on Facebook, Twitter and Flickr! www.rowntrees-randoms.co.uk

Valuable Tips in Dressing Up Children

Valuable Tips in Dressing Up Children

childrens-clothingThe dilemma of buying children’s clothing happens not on the actual deed but even before the purchase. There are a lot of things to consider: the price, the style and the fit. With children growing on a fast phase each day, it is never a practical thing to purchase a great deal of money on tots’ clothes as they grow in a matter of days and weeks hence the variations in sizes. With these chains of thoughts, buying for children’s clothes become an unending tasks for parents.

So how can one choose the right clothes for kids? Here are some of the ways.

  • Go for some bargains. It may be a little off for parents to buy clothes from bargains especially since they have the notion of giving the best for their kids. However, on a practical point of view, thrift shopping does not mean shopping for low quality clothes. Penny-pinching shopping is all about getting the same exact quality of branded clothes at a reasonable price tag. This may be a complicated task, but local thrift shops and online auction sites can satisfy the thrifty and cost-conscious shopper in you.
  • Understand that a child’s size changes from time to time. The moment you purchase a toddler dress or pants for your little ones, it doesn’t mean they’ll forever keep it in their closets. Hence, you need to look for pieces that can be adjusted come their growing years. Allow half inch adjustments on shoes, sizes of shirts and pants as well.

Know your child’s body type and what kind of ensemble suits him/her the most. You should very well know what complements and highlights your child’s best asset. Nevertheless, as parents, you must remember that styles are trivial without a comfortable clothing to drape in.
