My little Bear Cub isn’t interested in sitting and playing quietly with toys like his brother does. He’s much more interested in climbing and causing havoc!
When we were offered a Casdon Mr Kipling Cake Stand and Tea Set I thought this could be the perfect toy to get Bear to sit and play with his brother.
Watches have never gone out of style, which is why they make such great gifts. If you’re thinking about buying a watch for you or anyone in your family, it can be worth considering a few points before you make that all-important watch purchase.
The Style
Watches come in many styles and it’s important to select the type that is suitable for you or the person you’re buying for. Is this person sporty? Or would he or she prefer a classic look? And when will this watch be worn? Is it for everyday use or special occasions? If you browse through a selection of watches, you’ll get a good idea of the types that are available to buy. You can then match these to your requirements to narrow down your choice.
The Material
Often, you don’t need to splash out to get a watch of real quality. Stainless steel doesn’t cost as much as gold or silver, but is still a high-quality material that can be worth considering even for formal watches. However, if you really want to pick something than can be handed down as an heirloom, you might want to investigate more luxurious materials. The choice is yours.
The Strap
Whether you choose a leather strap or metal link strap, the important thing to focus on is comfort. Fortunately, both of these styles are adjustable and can usually be changed to suit your wrist. There are, of course, other types of watch straps, such as nylon straps, and before making your purchase it can be worth making sure that they are adjustable.
The Features
Digital watches usually offer a host of features as standard. But these days even analogue watches offer options such as stopwatches and calendars. Choosing a watch according to its features can be down to personal taste, but it might also be worth listing all the things you will need to do with your watch and then making a decision based on this.
A Guarantee
There are plenty of reasons why you might inadvertently damage a new watch. It’s the kind of thing that can happen in the course of everyday life or in the rough and tumble of going to school. And this makes it well worth choosing a watch which comes with a guarantee. This way you can focus on enjoying your life rather than protecting your new timepiece.
There are plenty of other factors to take into account when choosing a watch, but this guide should give you a good starting point and plenty to think about.

Let’s face it. Not all of us enjoy the stress, strain and outright competitiveness of organised team sports. And some of us don’t really like the idea of exercise at all. *Puts hands up*
