Back to School Top Picks

Dear mummy, I may be only small and still at nursery but we’re still interested in all the back to school ranges which pop up in September, especially all the new stationery which is available in shops.

 

Here’s our Top Paperchase Picks from their Pony Party range, which is the design that we both love. (If I’m lucky my mummy might treat me some stickers)

Our local shopping centre is Festival Place in Basingstoke, just off the M3 in Hampshire. It’s a really nice, clean and modern centre with large walk ways (perfect for buggies) housing over 160 big brand stores including Apple, Debenhams, M&S, Zara, Schuh, Pandora, Oasis and Gap. The shopping facilities are complemented by some awesome family friendly restaurants including; Wagamama, Coal Bar & Grill, La Tasca and Pizza Express, and a 10-screen Vue cinema.

Festival Place also host some great seasonal activities. We can’t wait to see what they have lined up for Autumn and Winter 2015. Last year we watched the Fireworks and the Christmas Light switch on (this year it’s on Friday 13th November – Ooooo spooky!) and we’re looking forward to experiencing the Black Friday sales which land on Friday 27th November.

So if you are in the area and fancy a pleasant shopping trip with the kids then this is the ‘festive’ place for you this autumn and Winter.

  1. Love that Pony Party range from Paperchase. Festival Place is a great place for shopping – we’ve done our Christmas shopping there a couple of times now on our way home from visiting friends in Southampton 🙂
