Christmas at the Garage is known for it’s “My First” series which caters to smaller children, from babes in arms to school age their immersive, fun and often traditional with a twist performances have delighted my children over the years. they are a great way to introduce theatre to small ones as there aren’t any rules, the children can be within the performance rather than just watching it and they’ve really changed the […]
Christmas 2022 At Pensthorpe Natural Park! We do talk a lot about Pensthrope Natural Park as it’s one of our most favourite places to be in Norfolk. As days out go, it never gets old, has something for everyone and most important has an incredibly inclusive price. I wanted to let you know about the massively brilliant price of the annual tickets to visit because they are just so inexpensive it would make the most ideal Christmas present. For just […]
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 […]

For four or more players this one offers the perfect full family play when you have lots of different ages and it’s super easy to set up while the rules really are as simple as this: One team mate draws wipe clean character card and a suggestion card (50 characters with 150 suggestions) and it’s […]
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! 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! 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 […]
