Bitzee – A Superior Interactive Pet! Who remembers when cyber pets came out for the first time? Tamagotchi launched theses new, exciting little toys in the mid nineties when I was about 16 and though I was definitely too old for toys (too cool as well), I couldn’t help but notice them with the rest of the world! Funny then that a couple of years ago they made a resurgence and I was super excited to get some for my […]

Popsa – The Easiest Way To Print Your Memories! I love to take photographs, I quite literally take hundreds filling up Facebook albums and my cloud as I go. I rarely, however, print them out. occasionally I’ll do some on magnets or I’ll get a few prints for something specific but choosing which ones (from the many) and collating them I find such a bind. I tend to put it off till Christmas when I traditionally will print my Mum […]

Party season is upon us and with the sparkly dresses bought and the high heels being worn in, in anticipation of being on our dancing feet all night, it’s time to start thinking about hair and make up!

Thing is, while those sorts of joints can and do often work for us, we do also really like our children and want to sample a little of the high life with them too. Why not? Introducing them to a little culture and bit more of a treat when it comes to eating out […]

There’s no flashing lights at BeWILDerwood, nothing mechanical (except from the boat of course) and with the woods as the backdrop being the inspiration for Tom Blofeld’s novels about the Boggles and Twiggles of BeWILDerwood, now, the stories are the inspiration for the very naturally set […]
