Many of the Maison White staff have children in various years at secondary school and some of them are already edging into their exam season. Emotions are on the up. It’s certainly stirred up a bit of old school nostalgia in the collective parents; a heady mix of fond memories and the downright embarrassing ones that still have the power to turn our cheeks pink so many decades later.

We got thinking about subjects that we enjoyed and those we outright feared. Perhaps surprisingly, one of the most divisive subjects that came up in the discussion was Home Economics! Do we have readers who remember colouring in a food pyramid meticulously into jotters covered in leftover Christmas wrapping paper? Or the joy of making a pineapple upside cake?

We thought it might be fun to reimagine the food pyramid in terms of some of the food-related beauties we have in our shop and online from Jellycat, Palm Pals and Le Toy Van to name a few. So may we present the Maison White food pyramid!

Our food-based Palm Pals and Jellycat Amuseables are so endlessly popular. There’s something about the nostalgia and cuteness of an anthropomorphised pizza slice that is just comforting and as such we think they would make incredible exam mascots!

So, whether you’ve got children facing exams or maybe you are, grab yourself an emotional support bagel/ broccoli/ avocado and enjoy the calorie-free serotonin boost!
