Growing up as a child in the 70s, I had the most enchanting night light that was basically an illuminated fairy toadstool that was made from china and hand painted. It was truly delightful and I was the envy of my friends who all thought it was super cute! It cast a soft and comforting light around the room and I remember always trying to catch the fairies and elves out by peering into the window and down the chimney, I was convinced they were real - I do believe in fairies, I do, I do, I do!
It seems that the fear of the dark (or an over active imagination, you decide) runs in the family as my little Pixie is now a holy terror at bedtime coming out with such gems as "no like the dark, Mr Tumble will knock on the door" and "I scared of the wicked witch". So yes, I can conclude that too much cbeebies and "Wizard of Oz" viewing goes on in our house quite clearly!
It was beautifully made from bone china and hand painted and glazed, but best of all, it had 2 teeny tiny rabbits inside the house. I put it into the Pixie's bedroom as a surprise for bedtime.
She was instantly transfixed, talking to the rabbits inside and showing them her bracelet. I explained that the rabbits in their little china house were there to look after her at bedtime and she really like that idea. In fact, it's probably best if I leave the rest of the review over to Pixie.
The night light retails at £49 and recently won the gift of the year award. The white rabbit England brand also has a lovely range of cushions, bedding and gifts and more will be added in 2012. I am already a huge fan and would be happy to fall down the rabbit hole with them!
Peace and Love

How wonderful. I had a glowing toadstool thingamiggy too if I remember correctly. In your daughter's defence Mr Tumble can be quite scary. Especially when he dresses up as a woman!
