Winter Wonderland Norwich! Winter Wonderland Norwich has been keeping the Norfolk Showground warm for a couple of weeks now but we are proof that you can never be too late to this Christmas party after our rather festive visit this afternoon! This was one the big kids were mega excited about as quite a lot of things we do are mainly geared up for the little ones. Most of the little stuff is ok for big ones too while the […]
Christmas Party Ready! I had a conversation with my Mum the other day about how women in their 40s dress differently now to the way they dressed when she was my age. Back then if a woman over the age of 25 had worn a mini skirt she’d have been considered a little common, now it’s fair game. We’ve moved on from considering mutton to be dressed as lamb and we now dress how we like, not how society tells […]
Stocking Fillers For Little Boys! We are struggling a little when it comes to gifts for Raffie. It’s literally JUST been his birthday and he has ALL the toys he can handle yet he’d be so unexcited to be given clothing it’s a bit of a mine field. I want him to feel special on Christmas Day and to soak up the magic. 5 years old is just the right age to immerse yourself but I don’t want to buy […]
Keep This Cracker – Reusable Crackers For An Eco Friendlier Christmas! I didn’t know what the stats were surrounding the landfill waste from Christmas crackers so I looked it up. Shockingly, but when you think about it, realistically, the vast majority of the single use plastic treats inside them end up in landfill with an estimated 40 million crackers ending up in the bin come the end of Christmas Day, that’s not even getting started on the non-recyclable packaging… I […]
Buy A Gift For Christmas! Making Christmas present purchases for adults is really quite easy, even if you don’t know someone well. Everyone loves a candle and as long as you find out what their tipple is, a bottle of something is always going to go down well. Christmas whisky gifts go down VERY well in my house so with little thought the right item is easily procured. The tricky bit is when buying for children, choosing for kids can […]
Orchard Toys Christmas Eve Box! I’m not sure where the idea for a Christmas Eve Box came in but we very firmly embraced it in our house and now, of course, it’s here to stay! We generally do a book, some pyjamas, a small stocking filler and a sweet treat so nothing big really but it builds the excitement and it’s the last offering from our elves before the big day and FC comes to visit. It also sits well […]
Snowdonia Cheese Company Christmas Hampers! I love cheese! I mean I realise this is a rather lame statement because who doesn’t like cheese but it really does encompass the whole thing because I love cheese whether it’s a Mini Babybel, but I also love cheese when it’s cave-aged, unctuous, super special and oozing with sophistication. And at Christmas there is no better time to push the boat out when it comes to cheese; although I do have a rather brilliant […]
La Di Da Sweet Treats Chocolate Covered Oreo Advent Calendar! Not familiar with La Di Da Sweet Treats? It began in 2012 as a kitchen table cupcake business to plug the gap in corporate gifting and has grown to the business it is today, not just cupcakes anymore but sweet treats in general, supplying the likes of Selfridges and Harrods no less so when you buy from them you’re in very good company indeed! Now they deliver nation wide and […]
Elfland – The Lost Wish! Christmas is a time for traditions old, and new and while it’s lovely to embrace all of the magic, realistically we do have to pick a few which work for us and stick to them because choosing everything can be a little overwhelming. We do have elves who come to stay every December and I’m so pleased that we chose to do that (although they are not elves that anyone else has as ours cannot […]
Get 15% Off At The Tartan Blanket Company! It’s no secret that we are mega fans of The Tartan Blanket Company and while I have been lucky enough to work with them on gifted campaigns in the past, I am also a customer. Most recently they afforded me a little discount to treat my friend to one of their beautiful blanket scarves for her birthday and now they’ve extended the kind offer of money off to my readers too! For […]
