The new Glow Pets | Christmas Gift Guide

Last Christmas, Jolly found a total bargain, and snapped up a Pillow Pet for his little sister in a sale. She’d seen them on TV and coo-ed over them, and he just knew she’d love it. And she did. But none of us relaised quite how much she would love it. I’ve not been able to get her to sleep on a  pillow for a year now…. The only thing she sleeps on is her unicorn Pillow Pet. So when she saw the new version, the...

FIMO kids form & play

I cannot wait to sit down and try these kits with the children next week! Even though mine are no longer toddlers, they still can’t resist the lure of playdough or plasticine – but do get a little tired of spending an hour or two creating something amazing… only for it to be squashed back ionto the tubs at the end of the session. So these Fimo kits are a godsend. Form&play is a combination of modelling and...

The Gift of Time This Christmas with Vileda

I know, I know. Vileda aren’t usually the first brand that crosses your mind when you think Christmas, are they (mine would be more “mmmm… Tiffany…”)?

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.

Razer introduces the Naga Epic Chroma Mouse for wireless MMO gaming – Christmas Gift Guide

I know – it took me a while to get it too. Just as a keyboard for me is for tapping to make letters appear in your screen, a mouse is for swooshing around the desk to get to where you want to go. But no. I have been taught the error of my ways by my gamer teens. A mouse and keyboard are so very much more. I didn’t really buy into it… until I sat and watched them play. THEN I got it. Honestly – the way their...
