The Good Web Guide
www.thegoodwebguide.co.uk


"A lovely clear, easy to use gift site featuring contemporary and useful gifts for new babies, parents and siblings. This site is a joy to use. The contents have been carefully chosen to be useful, contemporary and some items just as a bit of fun."

Good Web Guide Verdict: A refreshing website amongst all the frilly and twee babyness that usually abounds on the internet. Definitely worth looking at for new baby presents.

Overall rating 5/5

Websites we like:

www.mumsnet.com - brilliant parenting website for both prospective and experienced mothers. We love it’s practical advice and help from other parents who are going through similar experiences.
www.nctpregnancyandbabycare.com - all the expertise of the National Childbirth Trust at your fingertips. The NCT aims to help all parents enjoy the experiences of pregnancy, birth and early parenthood. The NCT helped us get through our pregnancies and early years of motherhood, so the least we can do is suggest that you visit their site!
www.juniormagazine.co.uk - a very stylish web site with lots of helpful features about health, pregnancy and child development, along with book reviews and travel advice. That said, what we really love is the ultra hip fashion guide and designer database.
www.sox-populi.com - the ultimate online sock shop for top quality men's & women's socks in the latest styles and colours. Fabulously funky footwear for mums and dads.
www.mylittlespace.me.uk - fabulous personalised nursery furniture, murals and bedroom design. A personal service at a really reasonable price from a professional theatre set designer, who set up My Little Space after having her first child in 2005.
www.therainbowtrust.co.uk - a charity which provides practical and emotional support to families who have a child with a life threatening or terminal illness.  It does amazing work helping families for as long as they need - from diagnosis, through the illness and beyond.
