The LeapPad 3 Review

We received the LeapPad 3 tablet just before going on holiday, which was perfect timing since I’d been looking for something to distract 5-year-old Joe during the flight (leaving me to drink wine and read a book in peace).

Accurist Gents Watch 50% off – Christmas Gift Guide

Men are often some of the trickiest family members to buy for, aren’t they? I find it’s either dead easy.. or nigh on impossible to really find the perfect thing. BUT over the years I have come to realise that somet hings can make it easier. Watches are one of those things. Don’t presume that because he has a nice watch, he might not like another. It’s like you deciding that you have a fabulous pair of shoes...
