My annual involvement with Product of the Year is a source of inspiration for me as a London Mum and as a journalist. The latest trends in household products as well as new stars in the world of music are launched there in January and set the mood for the new year. The Product of the Year 2018 Awards night at Sheraton Grand Hotel Park Lane on 25th January was a testimony of that. Once again it’s been a fantastic event filled with very creative people from the FMCG world of marketing, R&D in Britain and beyond. Rory Bremner did not fail to amuse us with his political impersonations of which Trump is absolutely spot on. He presented 50 awards to the creative minds behind the winning products, and at the end we were treated to a star performance by X Factor sensation Grace Davies! I personally did not know her but really enjoyed her cover songs by Paloma Faith and Adele as well as her original track Wolves.

Unsurprisingly the latest Aardman’s animated movie Early Man provides great family entertainment. In fact I’d dare say that Aardman is the only film making company that truly entertains the whole family with every new production. It’s not just the mums who take the children to see the new animations but I know for a fact that dads and grandparents are also keen in watching these films. 0-99 is the target audience for Aardman’s clay animations and Early Man is no exception.
