Brrrr the temperature is starting to drop, and with that in mind we’re taking a closer look at some of the things that’ll make you do the double take…….

Lulu Funk PJ’s
They’re so super soft and snuggly, your little ones will want to live all day and all night in them. And that’s totally cool because they’re ultra breathable and moisture wicking, meaning moisture is drawn away from their little bodies. Great if you have a sweaty night time sleeper, or kids that like to spend the evening hours running round like only tiny monsters can! Currently in 2 funky designs that kids will love and made with bamboo and organic cotton, so they’re gentle on skin. What more could you (or more importantly, your little ones) want?
