6. No. 1 Aknari Brightening Youth Serum from MUN Skin

It’s one of the best facial serums on the market and a favourite over at Gourmet Skin Bar. Loaded with natural and organic anti-ageing oils, it firms and refines as it works its way to giving you a youthful and glowing complexion.

7. onanoff BuddyPhones

Those pesky earphones that come with a brand spankin’ new iPhone or iPad last for all of five minutes and aren’t always suitable for mini ears. They fall out all the time, aren’t really hygienic for sharing and constantly get tangled up. Enter onanoff, a company that sorts out simple electronics. Their BuddyPhones offer limited-volume headphones for kids, that encourages safe listening (the volume can’t go higher than 85 decibels). So the next time you’re need to pop Peppa Pig on for a period of quiet, attach this to your device.

Available for $194 from www.onanoff.com

8. Little Days’ Wood Plaque

Sprucing up the pad? Specifically your little one’s room? The wood plaques from Little Days are a modern twist to those “Keep Out” signs of yesteryear! They’re much more elegant way to signpost your munchkin’s room at home. Choose between getting their name cut out of the wood or burned into it. You can select a word or a name up to 12 characters long.

Available for $195 from www.littledaysshop.com
