My wife happened to notice this little fella inside a Sunday newspaper magazine. He’s a cool Britannia Doggy Doorstop of course who is made from cotton fabric and weighted with eco-friendly stone chips. He wears a brown collar made from real leather

He weighs in at about 2kg and is 32cm high. There’s a puppy version too for added cuteness at a cheaper price!

Ideal for keeping any door open and he doesn’t need walking, feeding or cleaning-up after.

A great gift for dog lovers in your family and friends.

The latest household item to receive a Penguin Books makeover is the garden deckchair.

In addition to the Penguin Book mugs that I’ve previously mentioned (and have now got …my sister bought me a Big Sleep mug for my birthday) you can also get classic book deckchairs like the one pictured.

It’s a traditional style folding deckchair with a canvas printed with a chosen classic Penguin book cover.  Covers available include:

• Chandler’s ‘Big Sleep’ (green)
• Woolf’s ‘A Room Of One’s Own’ (purple)
• Mansfield’s ‘The Garden Party’ (orange)
• Bernard Shaw’s ‘Man and Superman’ (red)
• Bates’ ‘Country Life’ (yellow)
