Poshtots: because giving your child their own room just isn't enough

Every so often I stumble accross something so outlandish that I genuinely find it hard to decide whether I find it hilarious or terrifying. Poshtots is one such website. Dedicated to serving the needs of real life little princesses by making them custom beds shaped like pumpkin coaches (which, I have to admit, are original), it's fun to look at but also a little bit scary. I do quite like the miniature door but I'm not sure I can take these pink and princessy bedrooms seriously. It's quite possible that my instinctive cringe at this kind of furniture stems from the trauma of three years of babysitting two little girls whose parents really did spoil them rotten. They had more toys than they knew what to do with, were referred to as "the princesses" and had an unfortunate habit of trying to hang the cat with a skipping rope whenever they heard the word "no" (I kid you not). The Poshtots playhouses on the other hand, are brilliant. Although I'd like to think that one of the greatest things about a playhouse must be getting to build and create it specifically for your children, I cannot begin to tell you how much I want that pirate ship playhouse. And I don't even have kids. Friends that have obligingly been breeding recently: please consider one of these for your progeny and then invite me to tea...
