If you’ve got young kids you know just how hard it is to get them to relax on a plane flight! You look around to scowls and piercing eyes of fellow passengers but there really isn’t much you can do about it… unless you have a Jungle Cushion that is!
The latest creation from Flutterbies.net this pillow is the perfect distraction to take offs and landings as well as the boring bit inbetween!
On the outside it has an attractive yellow and orange lion face. Designed as a pillow but also a toy, as there is a secret inside. Open up the cushion and you will be transported to a magical jungle. With a forest backdrop and animal soft toys, the cushion/playset makes it an ideal distraction for flying or long journeys. It is also washable (very handy for cabin sickness!)

Sleeping in a foreign bed… in the blistering heat and perhaps with a little sunburn or even heatstroke is never easy at the best of times. I’m talking about those fabulous summer holidays if you haven’t already guessed.
Thanks to a little invention called The Chillow, sleep is now a truly relaxing state of mind. The Chillow is a cooling pad that you place on top of your existing pillow to lower body temperature and stop you getting too hot in the night. It is non-toxic and hypoallergenic and has a soft foam core that absorbs water to activate it. It’s around 2cm thick and is incredibly lightweight so perfect for traveling.

Getting a bit of shut eye on a flight can be the difference between a good start to your holiday, and a bad start.
A decent eye mask costs as little as £10 ($20), but can help promote deep sleep. This particular design is moulded to allow complete eye movement. You might look like a bit of an idiot wearing these - but who will have the last laugh when you exit your flight fresh as paint….
