Little Jools: Drawing its inspiration from Jools Oliver’s childhood and love of 1970’s fashion, the Little Bird range fits children from newborn to eight years. For spring/summer 2015, rainbows, stripes and fun accessories like bright yellow wellies, add a splash or colour to any outfit, while ditsy prints, peter pan collars and denim flares are a nod to 1974, Jools’ birth year. Little Bird by Jools is available in selected Mothercare stores including Mahon Point, Cork and online at www.mothercare.ie

Bright idea: For every LED light bulb purchased in IKEA stores in February and March 2015, the IKEA Foundation will donate €1 to help UNHCR ( www.unhcr.org ) light refugee camps. The Brighter Lives for Refugees campaign was launched in 2014 and raised €7.7m, with part of the funds used to help more than 11,000 Syrian refugees in Jordan, providing solar-powered lanterns, so families can carry on with educational and everyday activities after sundown; www.ikea.ie
