Minene is a company which I have admired many times, they create gorgeous items which are not only pleasing on the eye but practical too!
Minene was set up in 2005 by three women who are mums themselves, they wanted to create innovative, well designed, practical yet stylish products for parents, babies and toddlers. And this is exactly what they have achieved.
Browsing through their website www.minene.co.uk I could spend a fortune on the vast array of gorgeous items available, including some items which make you say ‘Wow, I need one of those!!’.
So when I was sent through a pair of their gorgeous pyjamas for Mark to review I was more than happy to take the hard job of reviewing them.
Our package arrived beautifully wrapped, with an organza bag with a tied bow.
This little touch made me smile. Opening up the package was a pair of top quality pyjamas, you know the type, the nice soft cotton ones that you just know won’t shrink in the wash!
Now the real test is the child test. Mark is a very picky clothes horse, if something is not comfortable then he will make his feelings very clear. As soon as he saw his cars pyjamas he was happy, pointing ‘Cars mummy, cars!’. Putting them on after bath times he was happy to put them on and even happier to snuggle down in bed in them…
I checked on him later to see if he had removed them and they were still in place.
They are made from 100% soft cotton, they move freely as your child needs them to, they are not restricting in any way, which is good with a wriggly baby or toddler! Marky loves his Minene pyjamas.

| Yes, I am the mum who goes into my sons room and take a photo with a flash on while he is sleeping!! |
The next test was the mummy test. Wash them and see how they come out! Now I am notorious for my poor washing skills, if it’s not white it gets chucked on a 40 wash. So not to change a habit of a lifetime that’s exactly what I done….and they came out looking like new! I didn’t tumble dry them but did put them on an airer to dry and to warm up on the heated towel rail for my little prince and they honestly are as new, soft and as bright as new. Mummy test passed with flying colours!

| Check out the detailing! |
How much are these top quality pyjamas I hear you ask, well they are only £12.50. Yes £12.50 for pyjamas that won’t shrink, won’t misshape, 100% soft cotton pyjamas, that is perfect. Now if you are a non-parent or even an expecting parent reading this you may wonder what all the fuss is about with misshapen and shrinking pyjamas, but trust me as a parent this is something that is important. Not only do our children carry on looking gorgeous in them despite all the times they are washed, but they are comfortable in them, and parents will do anything for a peaceful nights sleep! You can find these, and other cute designs including dinosaurs, girly flowers, hearts, tractors and more at http://www.minene.co.uk/Pyjamas-list.aspx
