Eliza Left Hand 3 Seater Fabric Corner Sofa Very.co.uk

With all the family around the TV, a good corner sofa is ideal – and this grey corner sofa from Very is simple and stylish. Clean lines mean it’s easy to style this up with some comfy cushions, and the colour – either grey or beige – means you can stay neutral with accessories or easily brighten it up with your own colourful accents. You can get a free swatch of the fabric before you buy – always a good idea to find out how it feels when you’re buying online.  

One customer review said: “I just recently bought this left hand corner sofa and I love it its good for the money and very comfortable good choice.”

Laura Chesterfield Fabric 3 Seater Sofa Very.co.uk

For a traditionally stylish and timeless sofa, look to the Chesterfield - one of this year's Very best buys for sure. This grey sofa is not only gorgeous but comfy, too. The rolled arms and button detail on the back are iconic, and will fit into any home décor; you might want to ask the kids to stay off this sofa and keep it to adults only, though, as it’s so beautiful. A Chesterfield is traditionally made from leather, but this version is made with soft woven fabric – you can request a free fabric sample before you buy. You can also buy a matching footstool, and a two-seater version is also available.

One customer review said: “This is a beautiful, luxurious, and very comfortable. The picture does not do it justice, it feels more like a very soft velvet; l was more than happy with it.”

Measurements: H 78cm x W 210cm x D 90cm

Upgrade your bed to this gorgeous design from the Very.co.uk beds section. The stylish headboard will be comfy while reading books to your toddler at bedtime, made with velvet upholstery, while there’s the added bonus of the mattress lifting up to give you storage space underneath. You can choose between Double and King sizes; you can also choose to buy a mattress too, with options of Airsprung Luxury Quilted or Airsprung Comfort.

Zebra Print Wrap CoatVery.co.uk

Make a statement with this bold zebra-print coat – who says dressing like a mum has to be dull? We love the impact of this coat – but it also has practical pockets for all the stuff you need while ferrying the kids around. Cinch your waist with the belt and pretend you don’t have your toddler’s porridge smeared on your jumper underneath.

X Carol Byrne Puff Sleeve Skater Mini Dress Very.co.uk

We’re obsessed with very.co.uk dresses and this one caught our eye as soon as it hit the page – the shocking pink is sure to impress. The puff sleeves make this dress stand out and turn heads. The ideal dress for seasonal parties and gatherings, and perfect for making you feel like ‘you’ again and not just ‘mum’. The fit and flare style is so flattering, we’ll take three please.

Cream Ribbed Knit Jumper DressVery.co.uk

If you’re shopping for a more casual very.co.uk dress then this jumper dress is perfect for cosy date nights or weekends at the zoo with the little ones. Understated and timelessly stylish, you can style it up with boots and a bag, or dress down with Uggs and a jacket. The bodycon fit will give you confidence to embrace your new mum bod.

Series 5+ WW90T554DAN/S1 AddWash™ Washing Machine Very.co.uk

Very.co.uk is like your own online department store – did you know you can buy washing machines at very.co.uk too alongside toys and clothing? This Samsung washing machine is ideal for families, and we know how much laundry a new baby gets through, so it’s important to have a reliable model. This has a 9kg capacity, which is the equivalent of 45 shirts in one load – that means a lot of babygrows or toddler leggings. There are 22 settings and programmes meaning all your delicates will be cared for. It has an A rating for efficiency, and innovations including Ecobubble technology to dissolve detergent into the water.

One customer review said: “Very happy with our new washing machine. It's quieter than our old machine and has an amazing array of programs to use. I think the quick wash is particularly handy. There is a fair bit of vibration on the higher spin speeds but that is noticeable because we have it on a timber subfloor (a shock absorbing mat from Screwfix has minimised that problem). It is a good-looking machine and looks as stylish as a washing machine can look in a kitchen. I really like the colour. I would say it is good value for money based on its energy rating, capacity and array of programs available to use.”

Measurements: H 850mm x W 600mm x D 550mm

Nintendo Switch OLED WhiteVery.co.uk

Whether this is a present for your loved one or from Father Christmas for your child, they’ll love this white version of the Switch.

One customer review said: “Bought this for my son’s birthday and he loves it …. In fact we all love it! It’s a great piece of kit and so versatile. It can be used as a hand-held device for one or two players and can be hooked up to the TV by a HDMI cable. We have all been battling it out on Mario Kart! Great fun! Definitely recommend.”

Peyton Storage Bunk Bed with Mattress OptionsVery.co.uk

If you’re looking for bunk beds at very.co.uk then this is a great option – we love the storage drawers underneath the bottom bed. We all know there’s no such thing as too much storage in your child’s bedroom. You can choose to buy this bunk bed without mattresses, or with either standard or premium mattresses, for an additional cost. You can also add furniture insurance if you wish, again for an additional charge. Plus, there’s the option to have your old bed or mattress removed too, for an extra £35. Always remember to measure the space in your child’s room before ordering any furniture, to make sure it will fit. Reviews suggest it can be time-consuming to build, but once fitted, it’s sturdy and strong.

One customer review said: “I brought this for my twins a few weeks ago. Very strong solid bed. Was easy to put up with two people and took around four hours to build. Very happy with it and worth the money.”

Measurements: H 160cm x W 194cm x D 95.2cm
