Gro – Egg - £21.99 www.gro-store.co.uk Do you like your eggs sunny side up or simply glowing?? This is as much for mum as it is for baby and with a new baby in the Mumsclub camp, we just love this product. The innovative Gro-egg changes colour to let you know at a glance whether the temperature of a room is too low, too high or just right. A yellow glow suggests a comfortable temperature for children to sleep in, whilst a blue glow suggests it's too cold and a red glow suggests it's too warm. Whilst it isn’t the cheapest room thermometer on the market, it is perfect as a nightlight in baby’s room so it is dual purpose! This gets a big thumbs up from the MC team.

A few more than that would provide a child in the UK with educational books or toys to help them with their development while the App helps your child with theirs.
The iF Poems app for iPad and iPhone are available now for download in November, priced at £1.99 for the iPhone and £2.99 for the iPad version in the UK. Ten per cent of all sales goes to help fund the work of Save the Children.
