Highchair (Slinfold RH13)
This Mothercare folding highchair is in very good condition, with a full harness. I think the wipeable cover is removable for cleaning if necessary. I was gifted it on one of these websites several years ago to use for visiting grandchildren, but they are now all growing up and I no longer have the space to store it.

Christmas card fronts for crafting (Slinfold RH13)
Gifted
Now is the time to start your homemade Christmas stationery! I have a pile of assorted used greetings cards (mostly Christmas), front part only - I have cut off the greeting half that's been written on. May be useful for crafting your own Christmas cards, gift-tags, tokens, etc. Here's an idea for sustainability: if making your own cards, attach a small sheet of paper on the inside with a paperclip, on which to write your greeting, etc. Encourage the recipient to re-use the card next year in likewise manner. Everyone saves money, the planet saves trees.

Gooseberry bush (Slinfold RH13)

Roller blind (Slinfold RH13)
Gifted
Navy roller blind with gold stars stenciled along the bottom, with brackets. A bit dusty and a bit faded on the back and towards the bottom. It isn't a blackout blind but blocks out most of the light. The maximum drop is about 168cm. The actual blind width is 139cm but with the roller and brackets would fit a recess up to about 143cm wide - but it can easily be made narrower by cutting the fabric and roller. The brackets suit mounting either inside or outside the recess.
