From Christmas Decorations to Home Decor The Practical & The Indulgent
Christmas is a time of year where we take a look at our homes in a competely different way. From beautiful Christmas decorations to adorn our Christmas tree, sit upon the table or mantlepiece and even to light up the outside of our houses and lawns. To home decor to suit the winter seasons mood of warm colours to lift the gloomy days and nights. Christmas bedding, or perhaps a new throw or two to snuggle under on the settee and not...
Our Favourite Christmas Mugs for Teens – 2020 Edit
It’s a well known fact that the topselling gifts on Amazon are consistently mugs – and it’s the same for Christmas mugs, and twicely so for Christmas Mugs for Teens. We all have our favourites; and frankly you need a different one for every drink. The perfect tea mug is NOT a perfect coffee mug, and hot chocolate presents it’s own set of mug requirements. We also have favourite mugs for different times of the...
Our Best Christmas Jumpers in 2019

They were once a thing of style, and then they became laughably questionable… and now they’ve swung full circle. We LOVE a terrible Christmas jumper.

Not-a-dull BEKO AquaTech Washing Machine review (the WY940P44E )

We can’t run it in the evening or overnight, as the noise is so loud we’d get complaints from the neighbours (and never hear the TV). Mysterious black marks have started appearing on the clothes when they leave the machine...
Christmas Candles, Lanterns and Lights to Make Your House Twinkle
Christmas, above any other time in the year, is the time we love to banish the dark days and chilly nights with twinkly lights, Christmas Candles and gorgeous lanterns. We all have our favourites, from the more traditional filament bulbs to the modern bright LED spectacular, cheerfully coloured or the simplicity of white. Christmas Candles give our home a warm glow (and sometimes a lovely scent to boot), and lanterns take our thoughts...
Simple Steps for a Stress-Free Dinner Party
Last week we had friends over for dinner – and I realised that a Stress-Free Dinner Party is the latest in the long line of things I appear to have conquered without being aware I’d done so. Our Friday night entertaining was nothing big, nothing fancy; just having some friends over for a few hours, and feeding them. Calling it a ‘dinner party’ would be seriously stretching it – and yet in years past this...
