Filed under What Present To Buy For Someone Who Likes To Sleep In Darkness
When my son was tiny, a chink of light would signal morning time for him. It was worst in the summer when he'd be up and raring to go at five o'clock.
But it was when we went to stay with relatives or went on holiday that the fun really started. Out would come the black bin bags and duct tape. If only the Gro Anywhere Blackout Blind had existed then, my poor father wouldn't have had to regloss the woodwork round the window in the bedroom!
The Gro Anywhere Blind comes with a handy travel bag and is a new and improved version of the Baa Baa Blind, invented by Lavinia Thompson. It has been designed from a lightweight material that blocks all daylight, and can be put in place in minutes as it attaches directly to the glass using suction cups, ensuring a close fit that really does block light properly in every nook and cranny. Eyelets at regular intervals on the hem mean you can pop in suckers only where needed depending on the window.
The blind is a generous size and adapts to fit any window up to a maximum size of 135cm by 200 centimetres.
This is a must have for anyone who is woken up by light streaming into their bedroom as soon as dawn breaks. Never again will you have to precariously hang blankets or towels over the curtain rail or endure kids waking up at 5am due to the light streaming in to their rooms!
The Gro Anywhere Blackout Blind is available online for £21.36. click here for more details
