    Win a Surprise Squishy Box from Squishy Kiosk

    May 12, 2018 - By 

    Have you succumbed to the new craze for squishies? My 8 year old absolutely loves the feel of them so was delighted to be sent an assortment of squishies from Squishy Kiosk. Squishies are amazing soft toys made from foam materials that children can’t help but squish! They remind me of the stress balls we used to receive from salespeople at conferences. Squishies are the ultimate slow rising foam toy. Simply squeeze them, then watch them transform as they slowly rise! Squishy Kiosk sent us some of their newest squishies. They also produce the fabulous Kawaii Box which I’ve collaborated on with them before.…

    Kawaii Cakes Biscuit Icing Workshop at Tatty Devine

    August 13, 2017 - By 

    Last weekend I booked myself on a really fun workshop at Tatty Devine. Although they are known for their super cute acrylic jewellery, they were hosting Juliet Sear and a biscuit decorating workshop. It just sounded like the perfect workshop so I signed myself up. I love wandering around East London, which is lucky as it took me a while to find the venue! The Tatty shop is tucked away at the end of Brick Lace and I kept getting distracted by all the colourful street art. They were hosting a super sweet workshop in their Brick Lane store with…

    Kawaii Japan Surprise Box from Asking For Trouble

    September 15, 2016 - By 

    I haven’t treated myself to a subscription box for a while but when I heard about the new Kawaii Japan Surprise Box from Asking For Trouble I knew I wanted to get my hands on one. I love Marceline’s products, she has a cute gingerbread range!, and have made a few small purchases before, such as this gingerbread couple tea towel. When I heard about the limited edition of 25 subscription boxes I knew I had to snap one up. Kawaii Japan Surprise Box Each box cost just £15 (for contents worth around £32) and includes ten items including a cute…

    June Japan Funbox review

    July 4, 2016 - By 

    It’s been a while since I’ve shared a subscription box review but a few weeks ago I was offered a Japan Funbox. Japan Funbox is a service that delivers hand-packed boxes filled with Japanese candies to customers worldwide. I’ve tried a few similar subscription boxes and they are always loads of fun so I was happy to try this. Last week our Japan Funbox arrived in a large box that didn’t fit through the letter box. I really liked the picture on the box and managed to wait until my children got home from school to open it. This is…

    (Unboxing) March Lucky Dip Club box

    April 3, 2016 - By 

    Like many people I love the first day of the month as I receive lots of emails about the latest subscription boxes! I like to treat myself to one a month, as they don’t usually arrive until the end of that month it gives me something to look forward to. It seems a while ago since I signed up for the March Lucky Dip Club box and I was so disappointed to see people showing glimpses of the box whilst I was away on holiday! Anyway, we arrived home yesterday and I was so happy to see my March Lucky Dip Club…

    Sockflow subscription box

    February 8, 2016 - By 

    I do love receiving fun mail which is why I love trying out and featuring subscription boxes on my little blog. The latest one we’ve tried out is the Sockflow.com subscription box which is a monthly sock subscription or sock of the month club, where they pick great quality, coloruful, stylish socks for you. A few days ago a colourful envelope popped through my door containing this sweet little bag. Inside were two pairs of socks and a little card with washing instructions. Now I have to be honest and say I wasn’t sure if the socks were for adults…

    Degustabox September box review

    October 30, 2015 - By 

    This week I’ve been sharing my thoughts on some of the subscription boxes I’ve been trying. I adore getting mail and subscription boxes are just a lovely way to try new products, often at a fraction of the normal price. I read a couple of reviews about Degustabox and one blogger shared a code for a 50% discount on the first box which I used to save myself some money, normally they cost £12.99. I found the site easy to use and I liked the way they kept me up to date with the delivery of my box. The idea…

    October 29, 2015 - By 

    You know how I love my subscription boxes and today another one landed on my doorstep. I love stationery so bought myself the October taster box from the Happy Paper Club from the green gables. Happy Paper Club is a monthly stationery subscription service that delivers boxes filled with papery goodness, happy and inspirational messages, and more to boost your happiness and spread a little joy. You can never have enough happy mail and I can’t wait to get a job so I can afford to receive regular subscription boxes! As with other subscription boxes, my Happy Paper Club box…
