Regular readers will know I *love* subscription boxes and it seems my children do too! We’ve worked with Weekend Box a few times and they were kind enough to send us one of their Mini Weekend Boxes to review. In case you’re wondering what a Mini Weekend Box is, it contains TWO full activities with all the bits you need (excluding regular items like scissors), delivered in a neat box which fits right through your letterbox. They are designed for people who love their Weekend Boxes but didn’t always get around to finishing their boxes. Mini Weekend Box review All…

I can’t believe I’ve managed to keep posting the 5 things which make me happy for well over a year now. It’s a great way of marking the passing weeks which are going so quickly. This week has been busy with a big birthday and the school Christmas Fayre, which I helped organise. I’m not sure how I managed to do anything else – but I did! We upcycled a wooden crate into a sleigh to hold our Book Advent. I painted it in my favourite Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Emperor’s Silk which is a gorgeous, deep red colour. You…

I’ve been feeling rushed off my feet lately. This is a busy time of year for everyone but several things are being squeezed into the next couple of days and I’m looking forward to a break over Christmas. Today a lovely little package landed on my doorstep which definitely cheered me up. I love subscription boxes and the Happy Paper Club is one of the best. Everything is neatly packaged inside a slim cardboard box which should fit through your letterbox. I think this is an important part of subscription boxes as there’s nothing worse than making a special trip…

I love subscription boxes, for me I’m happy to receive stationery, anything with a cute little face, new sweet treats to try or a littel craft kit. For me the Kawaii Box contains all of these items from Japan and Korea which is why I’m happy to be reviewing the latest Kawaii Box and have one to giveaway too. First of all let me share the contents of the October Kawaii Box with you. Inside my Kawaii Box was a Flan Dakigurumi Plush Pouch, a Neko Emoji Mini Mini Pouch and Finger Family Monster Pouch. There was a cute sheet…

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…

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…

I was completely sold by the email announcing the October Lucky Dip Club Box which had the theme of BISCUITS!, especially as it featured two exclusive designs by Nikki McWilliams including a cool DIY kit. I pretty much signed up as soon as I received the email. I love Nikki McWilliams style. I already have a cool Nikki McWilliams print and I love the bag she designed for Blogtacular. My Biscuit Box arrived this morning and I opened it as soon as my children were occupied for 5 minutes. The box is great and I love everything in it, especially the little DIY. There…

You know by now that I love subscription boxes. There are a few crafty subscription boxes around and I was very happy to try the August Craft Drops subscription box. Each box is everything you need to make a complete crafty project (and loads of lovely extras to experiment with too). The theme of each box is kept a surprise so I didn’t know what the contents would be until it arrived through my letter box. The Craft Drops subscription box came all wrapped up, it fitted through my letter box and as well as the craft supplies contained two…

Yesterday I shared our review of the July Japan Candy Box. This is a delicious monthly subscription box filled with 8-10 sweet treats from Japan. We enjoyed trying all the different products and we found the packaging gave a pretty good indication of what was inside – no need to worry about the language barrier! I’ve teamed up with Japan Candy Box to offer one lucky reader the chance to try a Japan Candy Box for themselves and entry couldn’t be easier. Japan Candy Box giveaway: For your chance to win the next Japan Candy Box and try a carefully…
