Nursery Rhymes for the iPad
It might make you cringe at first -- the idea that we're now so phone-fixated we even do our parenting remotely -- but once you get over that initial gut response, you'll probably realise there are plenty of times when you'd quite like to read stories to your child when you're not actually there to … [Read more...]
Review: Heated Gloves from Firebox
Heated gloves. Not the most exciting thing we've ever reviewed on Dork Adore, I'll grant you that.

The machine comes pretty much ready to go -- all you have to do is attach the handle. The instructions are very clear and the user manual … [Read more...]
Five kitchen gadgets for under £100
In our house, we've got an entire cupboard dedicated to housing the kitchen gadgets we've bought, used twice, then packed away. It's filled with ice cream makers, bread makers and a coffee machine that ended its life when we run out of flavour sachets. But kitchen gadgets can come in useful, … [Read more...]
