Treat yourself to some fine dining at home, life-changing wear for when your life is changing, and classic country fairs. And could this be your next ride?
Summer is hotting up as well as a calendar of events to keep the whole family entertained. This is what we are loving for the whole family in this month’s Citizen Enfants hotlist.
DRIVE THIS Maserati Grecale
Maserati reveals their new offering with the Grecale, their first ever mid-size luxury SUV, everything you’d look for in a family car. With the right balance between sportiness and elegance, it’s suitably, and indeed inevitably luxurious with luxe leather interiors, dashboard veneers which are appealingly lavish even in entry-level form, with a touchscreen for everything from navigation to connectivity to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. And in terms of practicality, there are Isofix points in the rear seats ideal for car seats. It’s clearly a Maserati in its design, and while the deeply concave grille on the exterior houses a massive version of the brand’s famous trident badge, its certainly more understated in its delivery of a luxurious car. The drive itself is sharp but smooth and a relaxing space to be in for your daily commute. This is a vehicle that guarantees you to be sporty yet stylish, luxurious yet incredibly practical, described by Maserati as “everyday exceptional”.
ORDER THIS Hartnett Holder & Co. X Dishpatch box

TRY THESE Bibs baby bottles
Whether you’re breast or formula-feeding, baby-led weaning or spoon feeding, choosing the right equipment can make it a much easier, safer and altogether more enjoyable experience. Bottles may take some trial and error, wide-neck to anti-colic, heat-sensitive to glass. And then there’s choosing the right teat for your baby’s bottle making it a more comfortable feeding experience for your baby and you. Made from high-quality, non-toxic glass, Danish brand BIBS baby bottles provide an easy-to-grip ergonomic design similar to the nipple that simulates the breast, providing a natural feeding experience. Available in two sizes and colours, its a no fuss cleaning, practical and durable alternative to a plastic bottle, designed with an anti-colic function, now with a new stylish bottle sleeve that provides protection and grip against breakage, and in a durable neoprene fabric to keep your bottle warm or cool for hours. With 110 or 225ml sizes available, it grows with your baby and their appetite.
BUY THIS Secret Saviours
Created by a small team of mums and medical specialists who are passionate about helping women prevent stretch marks, Secret Saviours claims to provide a clinically proven system able to prevent stretch marks in pregnancy. Super-comfy bump bands and briefs have been developed, with patented pad technology to hold the skin in place, dispersing the pressure as the skin stretches, blocking the path of stretch marks as they try to rip downwards through the dermis. This game-changing technology plays an integral role in a 3-step system, which, like all good skincare routines, focuses on maintaining healthy skin. Step 1 uses a daily gel that acts as a primer to keep the pads in place, blended with collagen-boosting Centella Asiatica. Step 2 is wearing the daily preventionwear, and step 3 is the night cream to nourish and hydrate the skin. The new collection of prevention wear, available in two colours (black and mocha) have been designed to support, smooth, and sculpt the body. Life-changing wear for when your life is changing.
