    2020 Father’s Day gift guide

    June 14, 2020 - By 

    Disclosure: Some of the products featured (marked*) were sent for inclusion in this gift guide, however all opinions are my own. Despite losing my own father when I was young, I still enjoy celebrating Father’s Day with my family. The children love Father’s Day – let’s face it, they love any occasion which might end with cake! It’s been a while since I put together a gift guide but I thought you might be interested to see some of the gifts we will be giving this Father’s Day.

    You all know we craft a lot, but that’s multiplied since lockdown began here in the UK. I’m so thankful my children love to create and we spend most afternoons sitting around our dining room table crafting together. I’ve lost count of the number of little books my children have made for the different art classes they like to teach me. It’s fun and keeps them busy, and one day I hope they will remember this time as quality family time above all else. Over the last few weeks we’ve made a start on our Father’s Day crafting and I…

    Playmobil Back to the Future DeLorean {review}

    At the start of lockdown in March we sat down as a family and made a list of the films we wanted to watch. It included old favourites and new releases we hadn’t got round to watching. We’ve always enjoyed watching films and with trips to the cinema out of the question, then a family film night can be just as fun. A few weeks ago we settled down to watch Back to the Future as chosen by my husband. The children loved it and watched the trailers for the other two films in the series too. We were really…

    We are gearing up to celebrate Father’s Day next month. The children have always made homemade Father’s Day cards but this year we thought we would try something a bit different.

    The Father’s Day Gift Guide {what to buy the Dad in your life}

    June 5, 2018 - By 

    Have you been planning for Father’s Day which falls later this month? I love treating my husband, although I have to admit he can be a little tricky to buy for. Generally he is happy with handmade Father’s Day cards and a cup of tea in bed, which is great because, let’s be realistic, there’s little chance of a lie in at our house! This year I wanted to make Father’s Day extra special for my other half. He’s the most wonderful husband and father, he works really hard to support us all and has been going through a tricky…

    Have you recovered from half term? Today my children went back to school and I returned to work. We packed a lot into half term and I was pretty glad to get back to our routine and do something normal like the food shop on my own today! As I sit with a hot cup of tea, Radio 4 playing and a mammoth to do list to get through, I thought I would take some time to share my recent Father’s Day Scrabble art craft. Father’s Day isn’t until June 17th but it’s never too early to start on your handmade…

    Win a shaving gift set from Cornerstone {Father’s Day giveaway}

    Regular readers know how much I love subscription boxes. They are a great way to try out new products and I’ve tried some fab ones, ranging from food to stationery to craft kits and more. My husband is finally getting in on the act as today we are reviewing Cornerstone, a men’s shaving subscription service. My husband is pretty furry, like most men, and doesn’t spend much time on his appearance. He does enjoy shaving though and has a collection of good quality products he has built up over the last few years. I couldn’t wait to see what he thought…

    Father’s Day gift guide

    June 12, 2016 - By 

    I haven’t pulled together a gift guide since Christmas but they are quite fun posts to write. So, if you’re feeling a bit stuck with Father’s day looming next Sunday (19th June) then I hope you might find some inspiration here. Father’s Day gift guide We are a creative family so family celebrations always include a handmade element. This year the children made some lovely Father’s Day gifts, including decorated key rings from a Baker Ross craft kit and an air drying clay dish for loose change. I’m sure they’ll both be making Father’s Day cards at school but we…

    Biscuiteers biscuits for Fathers Day {Classic Car Show Biscuit Collection review}

    So it’s not so long ago that I wrote a post about getting a gift for the man who has everything. I always find Father’s Day a little bittersweet as I lost my own Dad a few years ago. However I am lucky to be married to the most amazing man and love to treat him when I can. I’ve already told you about the little personalised gifts the children have made for him but I thought he might like something a little more grown up too from Biscuiteers. My wonderful husband bought me my first and only (so far!)…
