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 […]
Mechanics Challenge Strike By Geomags! Geomags have always tapped really well into Jimmy’s interests; he’s naturally interested in construction, engineering and maths and so the combination of all of those things combined in one toy have been the appeal. Even as a tiny, tiny boy he was so inclined to lay on the floor at the top of the BT tower watching the mechanics of it rotate us, rather than joining in with the party that we were there for. […]
Merci Maman Personalised Mother Of Pearl Spinning Ring! Just after Posie was born I worked with boutique jewellery makers Merci Maman, who specialise in personalised jewellery, whereby they sent me the most gorgeous necklace with all of my children’s names on it. You will see on my Instagram stories that I wear it most days, a staple now and though I swim in it, shower while wearing it and rarely take it off for anything (I should take it off […]
Jaques Of London For Christmas! Searching for Christmas presents doesn’t get any easier the more children you have, in fact, if anything I’d say it’s harder. The big two had the obvious choices when they were little and bikes, scooters, all those big things for pre-schoolers, have already been bought and then kept because they were too good to let go of and can be used again. We are, of course, now utilising the hand me downs with the little […]
The London Transport Museum Christmas 2021! It’s been a good while since we visited the London Transport Museum what with lockdown but we are so glad we made the trip this Christmas season to see all they have on offer for Christmas 2021. As always the ticket price is FREE for children and just £18.50 for adults but this is an annual ticket which means you can go as many times as you like in 12 months and despite there […]
Pensthorpe Christmas 2021! What’s on at Pensthorpe Natural Park this festive month? Absolutely tons but it’s no surprise that their Christmas offerings have been VERY popular and are mostly sold out. You can absolutely still soak up the festive lights and ambiance however and a visit, as always, comes highly recommended from me! Pensthorpe really is the most beautiful day out and with a crisp walk around the lake before some major fun on the extensive playground before a warm […]

It’s that time of year when we have to get our thinking caps on and buy gifts for those we love and while that is such a joyous thing most of the time, often it can cause such anxiety. But it really doesn’t have to. if you’ve someone tricky to buy for or simply a friend you have no idea where to start on the choosing then I’ve just the plan for you. […]
