A few days ago we took a look at yoyome.co.uk, a company that sells funky little stationery packs, activity sheets, invitations and a whole host of other neat things for little ones (and slightly bigger ones) to enjoy over the festive season. YoYome very kindly sent us one of their Christmas Boxes to review and when their beautifully wrapped parcel turned up this morning (I wish everyone wrapped their parcels like that, so wonderfully presented!), Charlotte couldn't wait to see what was inside.

You can find more details on the Christmas Box on the Yoyome website but the pack contains:

• A film camera (with flash) for all those yuletide memories (which is great for printing out those christmas photos for sticking in a child's scrapbook or memory book)
• A 'snap me' Photo Sheet - for all those festive things to take snaps of (what an ace idea!)
• 12 colourful crayons
• A Christmas Origami pack with lots of funky little Xmas designs and makes. 
• A Christmas Word Search
• A Christmas Doodle Pad
• A Colour-Me Christmas Card to send to a very special person

Charlotte was rather excited by the prospect of having her own camera to capture christmas with, but also made a bee-line for the crayons and doodle pads (she's completely obsessed with drawing and scribbling at the moment, so more doodling paper is always very welcome).



You can check out YoYome's other great little christmas products including:

Thank You letters and envelopes (very important to thank all those lovely people who gave presents to Santa to give to you!)

Giant (and mini) Christmas Doodle Packs (including party packs)

My lovely other half The Strolling Mum alerted me to a rather cool little company who produce an innovative and colourful range of children's activity products. YoYo me caught our eye thanks to their learning and activity sheets / doodle pads but a quick dip into their fantastic website shows that there's a lot more to YoYo me.

Aimee and Lou (Louise) were once two little girls very much like Charlotte, who loved to draw and create things, loved getting crafty and loved great TV like Rolf Harris' Cartoon Club (YAY!) and Tony Hart's brilliant children's programmes (how could we not love them to bits, just for this alone!)

Passing on a desire to doodle to their children and other children too is the ethos of YoYo Me and it shows - they have a brilliant range of products to really spur a child's imagination.

Though there are gender-specific products here, normal gender roles are nicely mixed (something we'd really like to see more of) so it's worth checking out their 'personalised' section to find products that are specifically suited to your own children.

Take a look at the website, and get in touch with Aimee and Lou for any enquiries via the site's contacts page.
