  • Melissa and Doug have the BEST products!

    I purchased some Melissa and Doug puzzles for my 4 year old from Ozsale. I needed some puzzles for her that were a bit higher in difficulty and I wanted some that were wooden so they would last and not get bent (or chewed up by the baby)

    I have used Ozsale before, and when I purchased these puzzles from them they did take awhile to receive (about 3.5 weeks) but I have since purchased from Ozsale and their shipping speed has greatly improved.

    Melissa and Doug have fabulous quality items, my daughter also received a magnetic dress up doll for her birthday - it is one of her most played with presents.

  • Wonderful Product for Little Creative Hands

    After seeing this product, and reading the reviews, as an Early Years teacher I just knew I had to try it out. I love the stamps, the designs are just adorable, and can be used to tell stories, make designs, learn about mirror imaging and colour- so versatile in Kindergarten classrooms, as well as in the home. Any product that has an intrinsic 'pull' like this is going to foster creativity in children.

  • Qaulity gift

    After purchasing a set of these stamps for my kindergarten kids, they were such a hit that i decided to buy them for my 8 year old niece. She also absolutely loved them. They are so simple to use, both pre-school and older children can use them. Easy to setup and clean which is important for busy households. Definitely recommend them as the perfect gift!

  • great for a rainy day

    Got our stamps out a few times this weekend, being wet horrible weather I was looking for inside activities.

    Couldn't believe my 2 yr old son played with them for over half an hr, he is normally on the go all the time and doesn't spend long at an activity but he's really enjoying these stamps and naming all the different animals and asking about them all.and my 4 year old was grouping them into zoo animals and farm animals really great for both their ages!

    I did not get excepted for this review. But went out and purchased two Melissa & Doug stamp sets for my niece and nephew. They both had a ball playing with there sets. Just the right size for young hands to use. So easy to store and put away. The non toxic washable stamp pad made clean up a breeze.

  • Top quality toy

    I find Melissa & Doug toys to be of very high quality, and definitely worth the investment. My daughter used this stamp set at a friends house last week and it kept the two kids amused for ages. It has stood the test of time, and isn't flimsy like some other brands. We own several other Melissa & Doug toys, and have never been disappointed by their quality or design.

    I can't currently see this item for sale through OZSALE, but I have bought other items through them. Hassle-free transactions, easy delivery, and great bargain prices. Certainly worth a search on their site to see what their current sales are, and I'm hoping they will stock this brand on sale again soon.

  • Melissa and Doug products great educational products

    My niece and grandchildren love Melissa and Doug products and so do I, they seem to be an old fashioned toy that requires imagination, they are well made and economically priced. They are a toy that is enjoyable to spend time with your children and I keep some puzzles aside for those days when we have horrid weather as time flies when playing with these and it is refreshing to see children playing with something that does not have a screen attached. love these toys and should be more of them.

  • Love Melissa and Doug

    My mum introduced me to Melissa and Doug products. I love their durability and the fact that they are wooden toys. My little girls first puzzle was a Melissa and Doug farm puzzle and zoo puzzle. Even now, at 3, she will still happily sit down and play with her Melissa and Doug products.

    They are long lasting...most things are getting handed down to her little brother now.

  • Love It!

    We bought a Melissa and Doug stamp set awhile ago - the vehicles one and my boys love it. I find that M & D products are so well made. We have a puzzle as well which is such thick wood and also a car carrier which is fantastic. The stamp set is so easy for little ones to use and keeps them occupied for ages. Keep an eye on them though as my two have been known to stamp everything!

  • great entertaining activity

    My 2 year old son loves this. He's into stamps and I love how easy it is for him to use while I watch over him. The ink takes a little scrubbing to get off but other than that, it's very good. I bought a couple of them to put away as gifts for other kids too

  • Quality and colourful product for chidlren to play with

    I love wooden durable toys for kiddies which take things back to the old school, before computer screens, its interactive craft and art that you are more likely to hang on the wall and show pride in your children and aids building a positive relationship.

  • Be prepared to wait

    I often buy things from Ozsale as they genuinely offer discounts for top quality items. Melissa & Doug are synonymous with high quality products, but are often out of my price range for presents etc., so this is a match made in heaven. My only criticism is for Ozsale (and to be fair, they state this clearly on their website); once you order from them, it often takes more than 3 weeks for your order to arrive. If you have an upcoming party or event that you are buying something for, make sure it is MORE than a month in advance. Organisation is the key.

  • Always impressed with Melissa and Doug

    I have bought and received numerous Melissa and Doug products over the years and i have never been disappointed. The only thing which is a shame is that we don't have more of the products available here in Australia. Although a bit dearer than other toys you really get what you pay for.

“My Floor Has Never Been So Clean”: The Mop That’s Winning Over Mums

Mopping isn’t exactly the chore most of us look forward to, but like most mums, for Katrina Macilroy, it’s unavoidable.

With three teenagers, a husband, a dog, two cats and timber flooring throughout most of her home, there’s plenty to keep her mop busy.

“I thought the toddler stage was hard, but teenagers take it to a whole other level,” Katrina told Mouths of Mums.

She describes herself as a ‘full-time Uber driver’ for her three kids, but when she’s home, she may as well be a full-time cleaner.

Her husband is a concreter, the family has plenty of sand coming inside and, with teenagers touching everything, the floors quickly show the evidence of a full family life.

“I have to mop like every second day because the floor gets marks,” she said.

So when Katrina was given the chance to try the Vileda Easy Wring & Clean TURBO Mop & Bucket Set, she was keen to see whether it could actually make one of her least favourite cleaning tasks any easier.

“I didn’t have high hopes for it to start with, because I’ve used spin mops before and I’d been disappointed,” she admitted.

But it didn’t take long for her to change her mind. One of the first things Katrina noticed was just how easy the mop was to use.

Person using the Vileda Easy Wring & Clean TURBO mop system.

The foot pedal made wringing the mop quick and simple, without having to stop and fiddle with anything.

“It was so easy to spin it,” she says. “It wasn’t like you’re spinning it for hours or anything.”

She was also impressed by how quickly the mop itself could be put together, and the simple button that releases the mop head for washing.

“That simple press notion, everyone can do that. So I love that.”

It’s The Little Things That Add Up

For Katrina, who regularly finds herself cleaning up after a busy family, these little details made a surprisingly big difference. She also loved the triangular mop head, particularly when it came to getting into the corners and edges that her previous mop struggled with.

“The triangle design makes it easy to get into all the little corners,” she says.

But ultimately, the big question was whether it actually cleaned her floors. Katrina’s answer was an enthusiastic yes.

“My floor has never been so clean,” she says.

Katrina was also surprised by how light and manoeuvrable the mop felt, because at just 4’11”, she says mopping can sometimes be an uncomfortable job.

“I’m not a tall person, so trying to mop is always just a horrible experience.”

Person carrying the Vileda Easy Wring & Clean TURBO mop system.

But she found the Vileda Easy Wring & Clean TURBO Mop & Bucket Set easy to move around and able to go in different directions without feeling heavy or awkward.

And it wasn’t just the mop itself that won Katrina over. She says the bucket design solved one of her biggest mopping frustrations: accidentally tipping the bucket over.

With timber floors, getting too much water onto the floor is something she tries hard to avoid. “The amount of mop buckets I’ve tipped over and just gone everywhere,” she says.

That can turn a simple cleaning job into another mess to deal with, particularly when you’re suddenly scrambling for towels and a dry mop head.

But Katrina says the Vileda bucket feels much more stable because of its design.

And for someone who mops as often as she does, she says that has saved her time. “This thing has saved me so much time, I can’t get over it.”

The Only Mop You’ll Need

Katrina also admits that she’d previously convinced herself she needed a steam mop. She even bought one, only to discover that plugging it in every time she wanted to clean wasn’t exactly appealing.

“You have to plug it in like a vacuum. Like, that’s not fun, I don’t want to do that.”

After trying the Vileda, she says she’s no longer convinced she needs one.

“Why do you need a steam mop when you can get this one?”

For Katrina, the combination of being lightweight, easy to wring, simple to manoeuvre and able to get into those awkward corners has made mopping feel much less frustrating. And despite going into the trial with low expectations, she’s now very happy to recommend it.

“I’m not trying to sell you a product, but I’m just saying that I’m very impressed with it. It’s really good.”

Her final verdict?

“It’s been really, really good. Recommend!”

This Real Story was provided as part of a paid sponsorship opportunity. Katrina was chosen to share her story because she was sent out and tried the Vileda Easy Wring & Clean TURBO Mop & Bucket Set, and genuinely loved it! And Vileda is so confident they’ve made the best spin mop ever, they’re backing the new & improved Easy Wring & Clean TURBO with a 5 Year Guarantee.

  • This mop so good and the views all are positive so I just purchased one on milkrun through Woolworths and it come with 2 mop head refills. Can’t wait to use it.

    Reply

  • Yes, I couldn’t agree more. The Vileda spin mop is by far my favourite mop for a good thorough clean at home. I even got the landlords to purchase one for the holiday house I clean to make cleaning a breeze and get the job done properly. I always grab a spare when they’re out for half price.

    Reply

  • Ah, I received a ‘you’re a finalist’ email from MoM for this fantastic mop but didn’t receive anything beyond that. I was looking forward to giving this a try to compare the three existing options I have but alas. Looks good, fingers crossed I can try it in the near future!

    Reply

  • Omg! Yes! With 4 dogs and 4 teens AND the guests they bring home with them LOL our timber floors and tiles don’t stand a chance! I would love to see them add some wheels to the bottom of the bucket so that you don’t have to carry the bucket around with you.

  • I feel like I really need to try out this mop now!!

  • This sounds like an excellent mop that makes cleaning so easy! I love a product that not only is as effective as advertised but makes a job less grueling. I gotta say though, a steam mop that plugs in sounds like an awful idea. I have a tineco floor mop, which is cordless and charges at a base, and it’s incredible on my white tiles.
