Stocking Fillers For Little Boys!

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!

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 […]

Wroxham Barns – The Christmas Experience 2022!

Wroxham Barns – The Christmas Experience 2022! Wroxham Barns is a changed creature since the days when I would take my baby Florence. Back then, more than 12 years ago when we first adventured there, it was a lovely little farm with a small play area, soft play and there were some rides you could pay extra for. The farm was always a great value afternoon out, but we rarely ventured to the ride area as when you have to […]

Snowdonia Cheese Company Christmas Hampers!

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 […]

Tomy Toomies Peppa’s House Bath Playset!

Tomy Toomies Peppa’s House Bath Playset! What to buys for a one year old at Christmas is a bit of a dilemma as they’re super little still and probaby not all that tuned into the festive season. It’s nice to have presents to open but in my opinion it’s a bit silly going overboard on gifts for someone who is too little to appreciate massive money being spent, doesn’t need it and would be overwhelmed by lots of new things […]
