... Dream Genii Pregnancy Pillow ...

Well, we don't know if midwives are suddenly recommending it, or there's been some sort of article or advert in the press, but suddenly customers throughout Spain can't get enough of the Dream Genii Pregnancy Pillow ... in fact we've sold out, but don't worry new stock has just arrived ... so order yours now to avoid disappointment ....

Travelling with the Trunki

Well, as Indybel started to stock the Trunki towards the end of last year, it seemed only right that I put my money where my mouth is and invest in one as we were off to the UK for New Year. My daughter chose Harley the red Trunki and so began our Trunki adventure ...

The first great thing I found about using a Trunki is that it's fun for toddlers to pack. My toddler anyway had great fun packing all her favourite toys into her Trunki the night before departure, and then I had less fun unpacking them all and repacking more sensible one's ... still it got her into the spirit of the journey and there is also a huge amount of room in the Trunki's ... I got a load of toys and travel games in, along with favourite dolly and favourite teddy and a number of travel items such as spare knickers, spare clothes, extra layers, sandwiches and so on ....

When we arrived at Malaga airport the next morning my daughter proudly insisted on pulling her own suitcase and as a retailer I was amazed by how many people were pointing the Trunki out to one and other and how many children were eying it up too! My husband was busy telling everyone 'we sell it you know!' ...


Post check in, we said goodbye to my hubbie who was staying in Spain and as a lone parent on a long journey with a toddler the Trunki suddenly came into it's own. Firstly my little one loved pulling it and wouldn't let me pull it for her, which was a great relief as I still had memories of our last journey when I was carrying both my and her bags and toddler too! So now she had something to focus on. When she eventually did get bored of pulling as we were about to start the walk to the gate and onto the plane, she decided to rideon the Trunki instead. Again as a parent this was great, I was able to pull her along without taking the weight of either her or her luggage. More importantly she had great fun all the way to the plane and didn't get bored while we were waiting in the queues and standing around in the cold.


Once on the plane, I was pleased to find our Trunki fitted perfectly under the seat and once we were up in the air my daughter was able to open it up and spent a happy two hours with all her toys.


Our journey home again was pretty much the same!


So, a slightly biased but also genuine assesment ....


Is it worth it .... ABSOLUTELY


Will I be taking it on my next journey .... OH YES!


Marks out of 10 .... A DEFINITE TRUNKI TEN OUT OF TEN ....

Fed up with the rain in Spain ....?

What is going on with the weather at the moment?

Apparently the weather is all mixed up. The UK has snow from the States and we have the UK's endless rain and wind ... great! The problem with the endless rain is that it makes life very difficult for mums struggling with pushchairs, prams, toddlers, babies and bags ...

A couple of years ago at indybel we came across the fantastic buggy brolly ... a brilliant huge brolly taking the UK by (rain) storm that clips onto the bars of your pushchair or pram giving you and your little one protection from the rain ... the clip on design also means you have your hands free to grab your phone, car keys, a toddlers hand and so on ... all in all making life in the rain so much easier ...


The buggy brolly has been a great seller for us and really popular here in Spain. We've only got a few left in stock so if you fancy one, take a look now! Oh yes, the brolly is also UV lined, meaning it doubles up as a great sunshade in the summer ... so really two fantastic products for the price of one! And at just 28.99€ it's a bit of a bargain. What more could you ask for!!

Happy New Year ...

Well firstly a very healthy and happy new year to all our families, friends and customers ....

Secondly, apologies for the long silence between posts ... what can we blame it on, well Christmas seems to have got in the way! Christmas with little one's is such fun but also very time consuming ... this year my little one was 3 and for the first time really 'got' Christmas ... so we had many days of writing letters to Santa, visiting Santa in various shops ( he really does get around! ) ... present buying, present guessing, arguing about not being to open the advent calender more than once a day and so on ..... when Father Christmas finally delivered the long awaited for stocking I have to say it was a bit of an anti climax ... we were excitedly waiting in our bed listening out for the squeals of joy as our daughter discovered her pressies, but she just walked straight past her stocking and into our bed as usual ... I think the stocking thing confused her, she was expecting huge wrapped up boxes with bows ... oh well, she'll really 'get' it next year!

Then we were off to the UK for a post Christmas celebration and New Year. It was lovely to be in the UK for Xmas as we haven't done that for a while and we took bella to see Snow White in panto which she loved. I'd forgotten quite how much fun panto's are but was more excited by the presence of an Eastenders cast member in the row in front of us. I spent most of the show staring at the back of her head!
The snow mean't our flight home was cancelled, so we had 3 extra days in the UK which was nice ... except we couldn't go anywhere or do anything except build snowmen, more snowmen and a snow castle. Then the novelty of snow wore off! Luckily so did the frost and we managed to get home.

So now it's 2010 and back to business. We've got lots of plans for indybel this year and are planning on making the site bigger and better ... we've already implemented a few ideas and will let you know all our news on here as well as on the main site.

So ... to 2010 .....
