Gorgeous Paper Merry Christmas tape – Pre-Christmas Shopping list
LOVE some pretty wrapping tape – and this is paper tape, so it’s dead versatile. You can tear it, write on it, use it for crafts or present wrapping, and it is low tack so can be stuck onto most things and peeled off again. This 1.8m tape features a pattern of the words “Merry Christmas” in between 2 small grey hearts. It is cream with a scalloped edge and a grey outer edge. Spotted over at...
Giant Pocket Santa Advent calendar – Pre-Christmas Shopping List
We love him! Cannot imagine anything nicer than getting him out year after year – it’d be like greeting an old friend when he appeared on the 1st December, wouldn’t it? Gorgeous. He stands 6 feet tall – that’s a lot of treats! His squishy beard and silly dangly legs are just too lovely – and the generous pocket size of 9.5cm means there’s room for more than the odd chocolate coin form the advent...
The Spirit of Christmas Fair
The Spirit of Christmas Fair is held every year at the beginning of November at Olympia. As you walk through the doors the citrus smell evocative of Christmas envelops you, thanks to Pollyfields Christmas garlands right at the entrance. With over 600 stalls there is something for everyone and it really is a shopping extravaganza. We went as a group of 4 friends and spent almost 7 hours there! We had a fabulous time. Having been...
Traditional Red & Gold Ribbon – Pre-Christmas Shopping
If there’s one thing I LOVE it’s making the presents look achingly PRETTY! Loving this ribbon set from Lakeland – one box with all the ribbon you need for the presents, and probably some left over for the table, the cake, and the gift food items you made. You can see the various designs and widths – they all come in the easy-access dispenser boxes and you actually get six 4m (13′) lengths. The Red &...
Roast Lifting Forks – Pre-Christmas Shopping!
Every year it’s a problem. We have a HUGE turkey – a 20lb-er – and turning it mid-morning is a serious operation, with myself, my husband and my Mother-In-Law all helping. And an oven really isn’t big enough for three sets of hands. We’ll not talk about the year it got dropped. (or the fact that my oven gloves are always RUINED with hot soggy oily turkey juices once it’s accomplished) But not this...
The H2O Mop X5 – Pre-Christmas Shopping (10% discount code)
Do you have a steam cleaner yet? No? You’re missing out. I’m not actually sure I remember what I did before I had mine. They’re so… practical. Useful. Handy. I use it on my tiled kitchen floor, and throughout the downstairs where I have laminate. I use it to clean up food and drink spills. Craft sessions no longer fill me with dread. Children with a tummy bug are no longer threatened with dire warnings to NOT...
