In the night garden ninky nonk train set

Advantages: strong, versatile, compact, nice bright colours, fun to play with
Disadvantages: none so far

...I decided to buy the in the night garden ninky nonk train set from Amazon as my young daughter is a big fan of in the night garden and whenever it comes on TV she gets really excited. So as my daughter already had some of the other characters from the show I wanted her to have the whole set and since buying it the train set the ninky nonk train set has become one of her favourite toys to play with on a daily basis. The train set can come apart and be attached on many different ways and my daughter enjoys looking at the nice bright colours and putting some of the other in the night garden characters onto the train set even though it keeps falling of now and again it keeps her busy and sometimes I hear her in fits of giggles. The train set is very cute and versatile and its great as children such as mine can have hours of fun with it...

Garden Furniture

Advantages: Comfort and style
Disadvantages: May not stock them in bnq anymore!

...I like to have stylish furniture, I bought this for my dads house in cyprus and it looks fabolous in the summer, we even use it in the house during the rest of the year. Not only does it look good but it also brings extremely good comfort, the cushions have special foam in them which has been designed to ensure maximum comfort. The cane used is of excellent quality, selected and shaped to ensure the best standard of product possible. It is very easy to assembly, with clear instructions given, so anybody can do it! I found mine at bnq for £299. However i am unsure if they still stock them but i have seen many available on ebay, offers varying. They really are a pleasure to sit/lay on and enjoy the sun or even have them inside the house. Would really reccomend them to anybody wishing to purchase a value for money...

Review of Jacobs, Young & Westbury Cane Garden Furniture

Aluminium Garden Furniture

Advantages: Looks Unusual
Disadvantages: Weathers terribly

...After having our garden landscaped 2 years ago, including more decking than you could shake a stick at, we decided that our old, white plastic garden furniture just didn't match anymore. After much deliberation, we decided on aluminium furniture and scoured all the local outlets. We settled for a hexagonal table, with a bronze coloured aluminim frame and a frosted glass top. The top had a hole in the middle to take the cream coloured wind-up parasol. The six aluminim framed chairs had a sort of plastic coated wire mesh as a seat, which was light and practical, and dried out within minutes after a shower of rain. It cost a total of £500 for the lot, including 2 matching sun loungers. The whole suite looked excellent, and was very easy to keep clean - just a wipe with a damp cloth. The glass top did, however, get grubby...

Throne for the Garden gnome!

Advantages: Beautiful hardwood bench
Disadvantages: Not cheap

...10%, and hoped some young strong man would help me carry it to the car!! We walked up and down round and round, they had so many sets of garden furniture and benches in various prices. I nearly did myself an injury when I stepped up onto the display to try out a chair, I hadn?t noticed that the concrete slabs were balanced, very precariously on a few bricks, stand on one edge and HEY HO! There you go!! And so I very nearly did along with several bottles of Lemon oil for burners! After that fright I was very careful what I tried out, wondering if they had screwed everything together properly or if they had a camera trained on you to watch you land with your legs in the air, providing them with some film to send to Kirsty?s videos! We were really quite disappointed although they had a large range, the range was mostly cheap...

Lafuma RSX, the ultimate garden recliner.

Advantages: Comfort, adjustability, quality, guarantee, comfort...
Disadvantages: price.

...Bought on an impulse from a camping shop at £175 for two, cheap they aren?t but they are worth every penny! ************************************** These French made chairs come with a two-year guarantee and are the ultimate in garden comfort. High tensile steel frames have elastic lacing threaded through loops supporting a padded seat complete with headrest, which will have you nodding off in the sun in no time. The reclining action is very smooth and infinitely adjustable so you can sit in the exact position you want and not in one predefined by the manufacturer. Once you're happy with the position simply turn out the levers under each arm rest to lock the seat in position. The tops of the resin arms have built in pads to make things even more comfortable. The headrest is a simple but clever pad held on by a loop of elastic...

Create Your Own Night Garden

Advantages: Creative fun for young children
Disadvantages: Expensive for what it really is

...In the Night Garden ? Iggle Piggle and Friends Activity Set Crayola Beginnings Create Your Own Night Garden In the Night Garden is about a magical picture-book garden that exists between waking and sleeping in a child?s imagination. Iggle Piggle brings the child to the garden to enjoy some sweet bedtime relaxation tunes, and introduces many other weird and wonderful characters which is often quite nonsense to the adult though fun for the child. Although my daughter is not as into the Night Garden as she used to be, she still became excited when opening her present from her Godfather on her birthday, eager to rip open the box and find out what was inside. Not only does she like Night Garden she also adores anything creative so I felt that this was a great present. **************** PACKAGING **************** This set comes in...

Review of Crayola In the Night Garden Iggle Piggles Funtime Activity Set

Put together the Ninky Nonk!

Advantages: Colourful replica of the cheeky TV train
Disadvantages: Does not join together or stay joined as one train

...In the Night Garden is a colourful CBBC program which my little 2yr old brother watches avidly every night before bedtime. Among the various characters is this cheeky little train the Ninky Nonk. It rushes around crazily with ringing bells and flashing lights and the other characters ride in it. As it is one of the noisiest, fastest and colourful characters In the Night Garden, it was the only toy my brother wanted this Christmas so I duly paid £10 in Debenhams for it after a long search. It was sold out in my local Boots in November! The Ninky Nonk features 3 plastic carriages on wheels which in the TV series the characters ride in, including Makka Pakka, Iggle Piggle, Upsy Daisy and sometimes the Whattingers if they manage to catch the Nink-Nonk! Unfortunately this Ninky Nonk train seemed a little small for the price paid...

ALL ABOARD THE NINKY NONK-BUT NOT FOR LONG

Advantages: COLOURFUL, TOUGH WEARING, APPEALLING TO FANS
Disadvantages: DOES NOT STAY TOGETHER (ALTHOUGH MAY HAVE A NEW AND IMPROVED VERSION)

...The Ninky Nonk train is the mode of transport on the ground for the"In the night garden" characters. It is often seen at the beginning and is used many times in the stories. It is a little train which goes really fast and gives a bumpy ride to the characters on board whilst taking them to various places in the garden. This toy train was purchased in September at the Butlins gift shop,in Skegness during our last holiday by my son who saw it and had to have it(if you have read my other reviews you will know that my 2 years old son is an avid fan of the programme). So we parted with £9.99 and got him it. It comes in three sections which are detachable. The first one is the boat shaped driving front (not used by anyone but sometimes kissed by Upsy Daisy). The second half has 2 attached sections. The first one is the ball shaped...

Review of Hasbro In the Night Garden Ninky Nonk Train Set

Beautiful furniture but expensive

Advantages: Great quality, Good ethics, beautiful furniture
Disadvantages: Expensive

...I recently bought a teak garden table, chairs and parasol made by Alexander Rose. Because of the price - we looked around to try to find an equivalent product which was cheaper. Unfortunately, having seen the Alexander Rose range, nothing else compared in terms of quality or comfort (I didn't realise wooden chairs could be so comfortable!). Everything else seemed rather flimsy or rickety in comparison. I think that their products are a very good choice ethically as well. Most of the furniture is made in a village in Ghana where they pay their workers a fair wage and give them and their family health care. They're also strict about where their wood is sourced from, to ensure that it's sustainable. The furniture I bought is beautiful and unlike a lot of other garden furniture on the market, doesn't have to be treated, although...

Review of Alexander Rose Hardwood Garden Furniture

By far the best toy for any child who loves the Ninky Nonk

Advantages: long lasting, durable, reliable, strong, colours don't fade, safe, fun and value for money
Disadvantages: In the year that it's been played with every day I've not seen one

...My oldest kid was really addicted to In The Night Garden when he was about 16-18 months old. All he would do is try to say the word 'Garden' constantly when he wasn't watching it. He would go crazy and get all excited when the Ninky Nonk and Pinky Ponk would come on. When I spotted this Ninky Nonk toy in Woolworths (R.I.P) I just had to get him it. As soon as he seen it his eyes lit up and he wouldn't stop playing with it. He would even play with the In The Night Garden box it came in making the 'choo-choo' and 'tick-tick' type sounds the Ninky Nonk would make. This became his favourite toy and has been for over a year now. He always takes this where he goes, as it's hardly ever out of sight. It got to the point where if he wouldn't go to bed quietly we would give him the Ninky Nonk to take with him. We would watch him fall asleep...
