Bring your favourite coffee chain to bath time with the Bath Barista from Toomies. Just like grown-ups, little ones can experience the fun of the café for themselves. There’ll be hours of chat and fun in the bath as they brew their very own make-believe cappuccinos. The fun starts at the top: on the left is a spinner they can set in motion simply by pouring water with the smiley-faced jug provided. Place a cup under the filter and give the yellow handle a twist to serve up a classic cup of Joe! Up top on the right is the handy foamer. Lift the lid, add in some bubble bath and water, then start pumping the yellow plunger to create oodles of frothy bubbles! It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3! Turn the yellow dial and see the creamy foam plop, plop, plop into the cup below. It’s a foam-accino! Add a finishing touch with the shaker: the colourful hundreds and thousands won’t escape, but water sprinkles will!


Bath Barista encourages collaborative, imaginative play, enhances communication skills, refines fine motor skills and helps children explore cause and effect. Suitable for children 18 months and over, Bath Barista is a bath-tastic gift.

Storydo family storybook

Storydo is a groundbreaking platform that allows all types of families to tell their unique story and celebrate their family, simply by answering questions and uploading images to create a special children’s family storybook.


The bespoke, hardcover, A4 book that consists of 60-90 pages captures the child’s story from grandparents, pregnancy and birth, right through to the family’s best holidays. Storydo books include all the people, places and activities that are important in the child’s life and are for all types of families, from solo to nuclear to blended.


Customers choose a design, answer tailored questions and upload photos to create their book. The innovative software that powers the Storydo Bookbuilder ‘writes’ text based on the answers and creates pages that users can edit as they go along. Respondents follow prompts and rarely have to write more than a few words, making it an easy process, even for people who are not used to writing. There are thousands of possible pathways through the book, depending on each family’s setup, so it really can tell every family’s unique family story, allowing the parents to decide what they would like to share. Once finished, the high-quality, hardcover A4 book is printed and posted.


Storydo is designed to strengthen children’s identity by showing them love and security at the heart of their family. They also validate each child’s lived experience and family set-up by showing them in a book, which research suggests helps children with self-esteem. Furthermore the books encourage family storytelling, which has been shown to make families closer and support the emotional as well as cognitive development of children. 


Experts helped with the language, particularly explaining the more complex subjects, such as adoption, bereavement and gamete donation. Furthermore, the inclusive books that work for all family setups have been designed to not just normalise but celebrate diverse families, such as single, same-sex and blended families. 


Storydo was founded by two mums, Sonja and Nina, who wanted to use the storytelling skills they honed in the corporate publishing world to make a difference. They found that most families had tens of thousands of family photos, which were never printed, and often forgotten. In lockdown, they developed a revolutionary way of using these images and memories to craft the family narrative in a way that is accessible to everyone.


Create your child’s unique family story on Storydo.
