GOLD: BEST CHILDREN’S INTERIORS BRAND
The jury said: This fresh and contemporary take on co-ordinated and mix and match baby lifestyle products really got our judges excited. They loved the pared back, graphic designs that all focus around a group of adorable, friendly animal characters drawn in a simple linear style with lots of personality. The products themselves are both gorgeous to look at and cleverly designed.
I am a huge fan of Done by Deer. Their clever pared back animal shapes and drawings featuring bold candy stripes are just gorgeous and bring a breath of fresh air to nursery décor and accessories", Bonita Turner, Contributing Editor, Junior
Very pleasing to the eye designs and products for babies,

GOLD: BEST TOY DESIGN (0-2 YEARS)
Tiny tropics activity gym & playmat
The jury said: This activity gym and play mat really is a thing of beauty. Our judges loved the forest green colourway, the co-ordinating super cute, patterned animals and the sleek curve of the weighted arch that can be cleverly adjusted to suit the reach of your baby. Truly a piece of design you’d be pround to have in your living room or any room of the house for that matter.
I will be recommending this to anyone looking for a fun but stylish activity gym. So lovely to look at and I love the fact that the carry handles make it so easily portable,
Bonita Turner, Editor of Junior
There is something so restful about the deep green of this set and I really like the quirky animal characters and the option of fastening them to either the arch or the mat to give baby a variety of stretches and points of interest. Gorgeous!, Ellie Crompton, Contributing Editor, Junior

JOINT SILVER: BEST INNOVATIVE PRODUCT DESIGN (BABY)
Tiny tropics activity gym & playmat
The jury said: This forest green mat with gorgeous jungle print fabric animals really caught our judges’ attention. They loved the subtle soothing colours and the fact that this is a plastic free design that won’t dominate any space that it sits in. The clever self supporting arch design was also much applauded as was the fact that it can be folded up and has handles for extra portability.Read more from the jury hereGreat product, love the unisex design, love the no primary colour prints and great that it's all moveable,
