Summit Sweatshirt
I love this funky design with the appliqué moose, such a cool character! The deep spruce colour is gorgeous and the applique mountains wrap round to the back too.
The sweatshirt is made from GOTS certified organic cotton with a brushback fleece so is super soft on the outside and on the inside too!
I absolutely love this sweatshirt! And I know it being Frugi it will last and last so we can enjoy it for even longer-yay!

Jordan Printed Jeans
The Jordan Printed jeans are perfect to go with your Frugi sweatshirts and tops with their lush printed tree design for a different denim look!
The jeans are made from 98% GOTS certified organic cotton denim and 2% stretchy elastase, they are lovely and soft and move as the little ones move-they are not stiff and uncomfortable like other denim jeans can be! The softness also makes them warm to wear too which is perfect for chilly Winter adventures!
The jeans have a buttoned fastening and have an elasticated waist. They also have a very useful adjustable waistband- without this we struggle to keep trousers up so this is absolutely brilliant!

Snuggle Fleece – Into the Wild
First thing to say is-I want one of these fleeces!! They are just what you need for chilly Winter days, super snuggly and brilliant fun prints!
The fleece is made from GOTS certified organic cotton and is fully lined with organic snuggle fleece- the sleeves are even lined to make sure arms are kept warm too!
This fleece is just so warm and soft inside, it really is perfect for keeping warm on little adventures! I like that the fleece design has a higher neck as the chest and neck can often get very cold if not wrapped up, gives me peace of mind that they are nicely wrapped up and warm!
There is also a hand warmer pocket on the front- great for little hands, especially those not wanting to wear gloves!
Frugi think of all the details – there are poppers at the neck for easy fastening and unfastening by little fingers.
The prints of the Frugi fleeces match other items in the Frugi Christmas collection as we all love a bit of matching! This “In The Wild” print looks great with the Jordan Printed jeans.

Abisko Bobble Hat
It is most definitely hat weather! The thing we always make sure we have on our little Winter adventures is a hat! This Frugi hat is so soft to touch, made from 100% organic cotton knit which feels gorgeous, no itchy wool here! The hat also has a lovely fleece lining band inside to be soft, warm and comfortable on little ones heads. The fleece lining is made from 100% recycled polyester fleece-meaning you can be sustainable right from head to foot!
The pompom is hand made-how lovely is that! And the cuff of the hat also has some clever reflective stitching for making little ones more visible in the dark of Winter-great detail!

For info as I had to find out more about Abisko! Abisko is a small village in Sweden, north of the Arctic Circle in Lapland. The Abisko National Park is a surrounded by mountains and shelters lemmings and reindeer plus the Lapp orchid. A place to enjoy the midnight sun in Summer while winter visitors a great place to viewing the aurora borealis. It sounds absolutely beautiful!
Sofia Dress Cosmic Wave
As soon as I saw this skater style dress I knew who would love this! The magic of the Northern Lights inspired print features rainbows, narwhals, sparkles and flashes of colour, so beautiful and love the colours. Another reason I knew this would be loved was for the full skirt that is perfect for twirling!
This dress can easily be worn with leggings for colder weather and definitely adds some gorgeous colours and fun to Winter days!
The dress is made from 95% GOTS certified organic cotton jersey and 5% stretchy elastane so is super soft and comfortable to wear.

Libby Leggings
These are a perfect match for the Sofia Dress or would look fantastic with any of the Frugi tops and dresses! Leggings are such a staple item for a kids wardrobe and a warmer option in Winter! These ones are such great quality, so soft and for a reasonable price too!
They are made from 95% organic cotton with 5% elastane jersey, they say it prevents the dreaded saggy knees after plenty of wear and I can say that’s true! They have a comfy elasticated waist so no coming down when little ones bend down too!
Snuggle Fleece – Woodland Friends
The Woodland Friends print is so detailed with animals hidden amongst the leaves, there are deer, foxes, owls, rabbits in the colourful Swedish Silver Birch inspired design.
The fleece is made from organic cotton and has a lovely soft, fluffy lining which isn’t letting through any wind or cold air! These fleeces are perfect for putting over as an extra layer on chilly adventures to keep little ones warm. With the high neck you don’t need to worry about scarves or the cold getting in either.
This fleece design also has the handy hand warmer pocket on the front too. The is a definite go to item to have in the Winter wardrobe to know that the children are nice and warm and can enjoy their adventures without feeling cold!

Something Different….
I have been sent a beautiful Bloom & Nora Reusable Sanitary Pad Trial Kit through Frugi to try, this is perfect as I have been so keen to use reusable pads but just didn’t know where to start.
Bloom & Nora came about from the owners of TotsBots reusable nappies who were inspired to make environment and body friendly, sanitary products. This Watercolour Rainbow kit comes in a pretty, colourful and discrete Dotty Out & About bag, the bag is waterproof and cleverly split into two sections for used and unused pads.
The kit includes towels of all sizes/absorbancies to help you decide which is the best one for you. The towels are Oekotex certified and have a soft bamboo fibre top surface which feel so soft to touch, and they have a stay dry binding too. The pads are contoured with little wings and pop studs to hold them in place.
They have two types, Bloomers and Noras; Bloomers have a bright-coloured and super soft natural bamboo inner (these are what is in the trial kit), the Noras have a bright-white polyester inner with a stay-dry and stain-repellent finish.
They are so well designed and made, as opposed to a disposable product, they say they can be washed and reused up to 150 times which makes them a lot kinder on the environment and great value too. Bloom & Nora also make all their waterproof fabrics from recycled plastic-so even better for the environment!
Just in case you are new to reusable pads, these are some of the reasons why you might want to make the switch….
-It takes centuries for sanitary products to degrade in a landfill, there is also a staggering amount that end up in the sea and washed up on beaches. Also the process of manufacturing these products is resource and chemical intensive.
-The Bloom & Nora pads contain no nasty toxins, as it is believed traditional sanitary products can contain harmful chemicals! They are also Oekotex certified so there are no harmful chemicals.
-They can work out cheaper at approx. 3p per usable pad use compared to 12p for disposable pads and tampons.
-Reusable pads work better as they are so well made and can be used up to 150 times, they are also more comfortable than disposables and soft against sensitive bits!
