Founder’s Edit: What I’m Buying My 5 & 7 Year Old This Black Friday

As a parent and the founder of Acorn & Pip, I spend all year curating pieces that feel good, wear well, and actually make sense for family life. Black Friday is the moment I stock up on the items I know my own children love, from cosy layers to brilliant footwear and the softest nightwear.

This year, I’ve pulled together a Founder’s Edit for my own two: a 5-year-old and a 7-year-old.

Here’s our Black Friday shortlist:
