How much clothes does a little one really need? What is enough? Can you have too much? What if you don't have enough? These questions are on many parents’ minds when they start gathering the special first garments of a baby’s life. My first advice would be to rather get too few things than too many. We live in an instant world. If you are privileged enough to rely on some support from the people around you, if you can order online, then surely you can get the last few things when you can see what your little one actually needs.

Glühwein, glögi, hehkuviini, mulled wine - that sweet, warming nectar of the holiday season - is one of my favourite hot beverages, especially when it's home made. Here in Finland we call it "glögi" and it's best served outside while visiting a Christmas market, or during wintery picnics in snowy woods.

Minulle kestävä kehitys ja vastuullisuus ovat erittäin tärkeitä osia omaa liiketoimintaa ja ensimmäiset lähtökohdat, kun valitsen tuotteita kaupan valikoimiin. En kuitenkaan tähän mennessä ole osannut avata tätä asiaa teille sen kummemmin. Siitä viestiminen on tuntunut vaikealta, sillä itsekin vasta opettelen näitä asioita.
