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 &...
Blurb Books: 20% discount code if you’re quick! Christmas Gift Guide
Do you use Blurb Books? I love them. Every year I create my in-laws an album of everything we’ve done during the year – they live nearly 200 miles away, and don’t see the children anywhere near as often as we’d like. So to replace all those Grandparenty-photos they don’t get to take by being out and about with us, the children choose all their favourites from the year to create a book for Gangy &...
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...
Harumika Style Studio – Christmas Gift guide
The Harumika thing had totally passed me by – but I understand it’s a bit of a ‘thing’. And when I saw this, I realised why! It’s actually a ‘fashion craft kit’ – but it’s pretty clever. But forget the scissors, glue, thread and sewing machine you normally associate with dress designing. All you need is the fabric, accessories and your imagination! Pick your material, wrap it...
Town House Giant Hama Beads Gift Box – Christmas Gift Guide
Has your house been hit by Hama yet? We managed to escape it with the three older boys – but now we seem to always have small crunchy beads underfoot (I didn’t realise until this morning that they are completely safe should they be swallowed! Good news for the dog then…). And I LOVE the stillness that descends when the Hama is out and concentration settles as creations are made. This Giant set is a fab one too...
Ben 10 Omniverse Omni-Link Omnitrix – Christmas Gift Guide
I know, I know – we don’t usually ‘do’ the high street plastic. But let’s be honest – if you’re a parent there’s no avoiding it. And if you happen to own a Ben 10 fan – this is where it’s AT. The Omnitrix. Actually – I quite enjoyed Ben 10. My boys LOVED him first time around (they’re too old now for the latest incarnation), and I quite miss the presence of...
