Wish List: Have some fun with the Gro-clock

Summer bird cages, iconic rock stars and kooky crafts are all part of the weft and warp of Esther N McCarthy’s wish weaving.

Pic 1: How do you get your children to understand when it's time to get up? The Gro-clock uses fun images of the stars and sun to communicate when to go back to sleep and when it's time to get up. No more getting up at 5am? Worth a try, I guess. €39.99 from cherishme.ie.

Pic 2: They love their cuckoo clocks so much at the Pavilion, Ballygarvan they’ve filled a wall with cows, sheep, hens and more and the clocks create a racket every hour, on the hour. So bring the kids. Cuckoo Clocks €64.95.
