Cards with numbered time dials... because it's about time!

I'm Elizabeth, and my business, Chiggs, based in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, UK sells my own designs- the Baby Feed Wheel, Baby Medicine Wheel and the Get Well Wheel. These are greeting cards, parenting products and gifts with rotating numbered 'time' dials to keep track of baby's feed times, and everyone's medicine times!

The inspiration for my first invention, the Baby Feed Wheel, came when I was visiting a friend who'd just had a baby. Suffering from sleep deprivation, she couldn't remember her little boy's last feed time, so I jokingly suggested she used a parking disc to note the time whenever he had a feed. Remembering my own hazy days after my daughter's birth, when I would write all her feed times down on pieces of paper, I realised what a useful idea this would be for new parents!

The Baby Medicine Wheel followed a couple of months later. Whilst on a short break with friends, their little boy started teething and needed medicine. Our friends used a Baby Feed Wheel to record the time of each dose so that they knew when his next medicine could be safely given.

The Get Well Wheel completes the Chiggs range, (which are all printed in the UK and hand finished in Harrogate), and came about when my husband's Gran asked for a Baby Medicine Wheel to keep track of her daily medicines! With 'time of last medicine' printed on the front, it helps older children and adults of all ages to monitor their medicine times.
