My kids have a seriously overburdened coat stand and every once in a while I find it toppled over - with a little assistance no doubt - so I’m wrapped over these ♥ Fruut Trees from Live Play Create, the same clever people who brought us the excellent ♥ Tike bikes.
The beautiful birch trees are made from FSC certified wood and serve as a fabulously playful storage system: coming from someone who is constantly trying to untangle bags and coats from aforementioned coat stand, I can totally appreciate their functionality, plus who wouldn’t love a tree spreading it’s branches across their bedroom wall?
And while money doesn’t grow on trees, these ones do give back. For every Fruut Tree sold, Live Play Create will make a donation to ♥ Focus Cambodia, a non profit that provides vital medical and educational assistance to impoverished Cambodian communities.

So many toys, and so little in the way of eco friendly storage .. until now! Yep, the innovative POMDRUMS is what happens when two interior designers take maternity leave.
Not content to sit back in the post hormonal bliss of motherhood two talented Poms, Wei Shun Lee and Anne MargErison, formed POMPOM (cute, huh?) and took to task one of parenthood’s most irritating aspects.
♥ ♥ See Below To Win 1 Large POMDRUMS with Text ♥ ♥
I speak of course of every mother’s bane, the constant organisation and management of your child’s gear!
If you thought having kids would cramp your decor style, fret not! Their clever customisable system is as stylish as its savvy, with two size options, eight cool designs and seven fashionable colours putting paid to your storage woes.
Of course, I wouldn’t be singing POMDRUMS praises if the design wasn’t as green as it is fresh. The handcrafted drums are made from recycled cardboard - reinforced with steel rims - all paints and sealants are water based, and any leftovers from production are recycled into other products!
I’m delighted to announce POMPOM are giving away one of their fabulous containers to one lucky GUG reader. Up for grabs is 1 x large container in the design and colour of your choice, plus the option to customise with a word or name (maximum 12 letters).
