A week of moments with Popchips #GetPopped

Have you seen Popchips yet? They’re the potato crisp that has been popped rather than fried, so you’re getting all the taste, but only the half the fat content of a regular fried crisp. Last week Popchips were celebrating the launch of two flavours (Sea Salt and BBQ) in multi-packs of six, and as they believe that everyday should be filled with fun and uplifting moments I was challenged to take some time to enjoy a series...

Quick, only til midnight to win a £210 Kauffmann Winter Special Down Single Duvet? #WinterISComing

When DownDuvet got in touch and asked if you might be keen to win a Kauffmann Winter Special duvet, I might have jumped up so hard I hit my head on the ceiling (Ow.) Because Winter IS Coming (thanks Jon – see, you DO know something), and there is nothing – absolutely, definitely, NOTHING – that is as soft, warm and comforting than being wrapped in a down duvet at the end of the day. And your chance to gift that fabulous snugness to...

Halloween, LittleStuff style…

We don’t do Trick or Treating – we never have. It’s a new thing that neither myself or Mr LittleStuff grew up doing, and it juts never sat right with me that I would take my children out to knock on a strangers door and expect sweets.

Virtual Reality – it’s coming to a room near you.

It’s the next in our Tech Stuff for Baffled Parents series – where we try and help demystify the tech that your teen gamer is begging you for, and helping you make an informed choice on what to buy. This week we’re taking a serious look at Virtual Reality. I know, I know. Anyone who grew up in the 70’s and 80’s thinks of VR as a Tron-like weird and clunky network view while you’re wearing a headset...

New Competition – Win an older kids Street Scooter from Slick Willies

Slick Willies. I admit it – when the email landed in my inbox I thought it was probably from the seriously dodgy end of my email spectrum, and nearly didn’t bother reading it at all. Mr LittleStuff might have tutted and sighed at me when I told him this. Apparently I’m a fool. Because Slick Willies is one of the UK’s leading Skate shops – and the oldest in London (they’re a 70’s child like me,...
