How we tested our recommended products
Recommendations from real Mumsnet users
From the moment one of our Mumsnetters revealed their tradition for 'rocking around the Christmas tree' with their husband, we knew our forums were the perfect place to find some fun, honest and invaluable recommendations. After all, these are real people who have been there, done that when climbing Mt. O for full satisfaction.
Tested by our Mumsnet editors
Not only are the gifts included ones that our Mumsnet users rave about, but some have also been personally tested by our own MNHQ editors to make sure what we’re recommending is actually what it says on the tin.
Authentic consumer reviews
We then thoroughly investigated genuine, in-depth customer reviews on retailer sites such as Ann Summers, Lovehoney, and Amazon. We wanted to see what products had scored an impressive amount of five-star reviews and just what made these toys worth the hype.
Why you should trust us
Transparency is crucial to us, and that's why we're always honest about where we find our recommendations. We write about products that we feel offer the best value to most parents – the ones that our users would recommend to their own friends and family.
