Make way for Matilda, as Oscar-winning actress Kate Winslet shares one of Dahl’s most loved stories. Can Matilda overcome her neglectful parents and her tyrannical headmistress, Miss Trunchbull? To complete the hat-trick, the magical story of James and the Giant Peach, narrated by comedian James Acaster arrives just in time for Christmas, taking little ones on a fantastical adventure they’ll never forget. Packed with hilarity, magic, and just desserts, this trio of popular children’s stories is the perfect introduction for little listeners to the wondrous worlds of Roald Dahl, in Tonie form. www.tonies.com BEST KEPT SECRETS Best Kept Secrets has been working extremely hard and has several new products for 2022. Just Because, Candles and Tea Lights The company has redesigned its ever popular Just Because range. When Best Kept Secrets first launched the range five years ago the demand for these occasion candles blew them away. “There was clearly a real hole to be filled in the scented candle market,” says the company. “There is a candle phrase or saying that can celebrate friends, family and special occasions. But the excitement doesn’t stop there, as there are Tea Lights Threes to match! In the same vein as our existing Tea Light boxes, we have brought this innovative gift right up to date with a gloriously, colourful design. They simply are the most perfect gift. “You can now have our clever little boxes with the following sayings, Happy Birthday, Thank You, Lovely Mum, New Home, Special Friend and Congratulations. There is no need to buy an additional card with these as they also have wonderful verse on each box that totally captures what you want to say to the recipient.” Tea Lights The existing Three Lights range has been brought right up to date with a fabulous new makeover. Fans of these cute, sliding little boxes will love their new look. They now come in six fragranced sets, Daydream, Blooming Lovely, Happy Hour, Sparkling You, Coastal Shores and Festive. These are sure to be a real hit with customers - the superb designer look of these matches the outstanding quality of fragrance you can expect from Best Kept Secrets. Both are a fabulous addition to the company’s ever-expanding range of products. As its customers know, colour, sparkles and incredible fragrances is what Best Kept Secrets does best.

The 2020 Home Grown collection of backpacks, lunch bags, lunchboxes, aprons and more was aimed at the children’s market. This year Dexam is offering collections for both children and adults: a new fun and playful collection for Children called I Bug You plus two new adult textile ranges called Benary Vegetables and Sunflower, which aim to bring the love of gardening alive and into your home. The designs take their inspiration from some of the thousands of images held in the world-famous RHS Lindley Collections, the world’s finest collection of botanical art. In addition, as with the Home Grown collection, the I Bug You pieces have been designed with the environment in mind; this collection has been created using environmentally friendly or recycled material. www.rhs.org.uk
