Valentines day is on Friday and we will be halfway through the month of February, but you still have lots of time to get those gifts and tell a special person in your life how much you love them and appreciate them this is where Getting Personal comes in. Getting Personal is not a site I have really looked at before now but they have so much to offer.

Over the years they have extended their range and they continue to stock unique and personal gifts that you can't find on the high street and right now online there is a huge amount of gifts, cards and lots more to choose from.

I was able to choose a gift for valentines day to review, sounds easy doesn't well it really wasn't there was so much choice I actually didn't know where to start. Their are sentimental items that can be personalised like his and hers aprons, you could personalise a his and hers bottle of wine or you could even personalise the label on a jar of sweets. Getting Personal also have sentimental plaques, roses and of course lots of choice on chocolate. There really is something to suit everyone, I got distracted whilst looking at the valentines gifts as they cater for gifts and tokens for every occasion - I found myself looking at the birthday gifts and some of the other things on there, there really are some very lovely items available to buy.


I eventually chose this lovely sentimental Spaceform glass mini token, now my photography skills are not that great so its quite hard to see what is written on it, so this is what is written on it,

"Grow old along with me the best is yet to be"

The package arrived neatly wrapped in tissue paper then in an iconic and luxury Spaceform presentation box, to make sure it wouldn't get damaged the Spaceform glass mini token is very cute and eye catching although my photo doesn't do it much justice, I love the sentiment of this gift as its the little things in life that often say a lot in big ways.

LeapFrog Scribble and write #review


We were sent the LeapFrog scribble and write to review from LeapFrog. It's an electronic writing pad to aid children in learning to write letters and numbers as part of their Communication, Language and Literacy development.


leapfrog children's and electronic learning toys ideal for gifts and presents



The scribble and write helps children learn how to write upper and lowercase letters and numbers in a mess free environment – This innovative product has an easy-to-grip stylus pen to fit perfectly in little hands and provides instant accuracy feedback on shapes and proper stroke order along the way. Suitable for children aged three plus, this device also helps children explore letter sounds, counting and much more. It uses a retractable surface and is easily portable to allow little ones to play and learn

Liam has had a lot of fun tracing over the lights to draw simple shapes and pictures. The fun learning games will hopefully help to reinforce letter recognition and pencil control skills without him knowing it!. LeapFrog's Scribble and Write is a great sized toy, it's just big enough for Liam and children in general to use but not too big its going to be great for taking out and about.
 




I love the way this toy speaks to you and tells Liam exactly what to do next It is very clear. It makes writing and learning so much fun by being able to interact directly with the child in a really clever way. Liam had never written any numbers before now but is learning fast  and wants to do it all by himself he is a really independent little boy there is no way mummy or any one else is going to get a look in that's for sure



Not only can your children write and draw but they can interact and learn to count too. When you draw certain numbers, the scribble and write will ask the child to clap up to the value of the number,  which is another fantastic feature. The Scribble and Write is so easy to use, children can simply draw on the interactive screen with the attached pen and then swipe the button at the bottom across to clear it and start again. The pen cleverly clips neatly into the back when you have finished learning and want to pop it away.

The good news: the Leapfrog Scribble and Write already has batteries so it’s good to go! This is fantastic because nothing is more annoying than getting a toy for a child and realising too late that there are no batteries in the house to get the toy to work.

Overall we're really enjoying the Scribble & Write and would recommend it as a great educational gift for a child this Christmas.

We were sent the Leapfrog scrible and write for the purpose of this review all opinions remain honest and my own

#Christmas with MoonPig



I am sure everyone knows Moonpig, especially the "Moonpig.com" jingle I am sure that it is forever going to be imprinted on all of our memories!!

For those that don't know Moonpig, Moonpig are a very well known personalised greeting card website - they were one of the first websites to make their mark in the ever popular world of personalised and photo greeting cards.


Moonpig have a fabulous selection of cards - you will find a card that is suitable for everyone after all there is huge array of card choices. The prices on the site are very reasonable.

When you think of Moonpig you automatically think of cards - well I do but they don't just have cards on there website, The first thing that struck me was the choice of products - there really is something for everybody!


You can choose from personalised or photo upload T shirts, wall art, mugs, chocolates or even personalised wines & spirits!

I was given the chance to review a couple of Moonpig's gift ideas I was sent a lovely personalised child's T-shirt and a reindeer Tatty Teddy.


The T-shirt was SO easy to create - you could just upload your photos and decide where on the T-shirt you want them. although I decided on just some pesonalised writing I wanted something simple but you can be as creative as you would like, It took literally two minutes to design and to order and when it arrived I was absolutely delighted with the result. The colour is brilliant red - Liam's favourite

The quality of the T-shirt and writing on it is fantastic - they don't look cheap like the letters could wash off, as they sometimes can on personalised product's - I love the T-shirt and so does Liam!


Christmas gifts and personalised cards gifts for all occasions




The second Item I received to review was the cute Tatty Teddy reindeer children's cuddly toy he really is cute very well made and quite perfect for the festive season he is lovely, soft and cuddly, kids are going to love them up and down country this Christmas, they would make a great stocking filler.




Christmas gifts and personalised cards gifts for all occasions




I made the mistake of thinking that Liam would be happy with his T-shirt and Adam (he loves cuddly toys) would have the reindeer but of course boys being boys and the teddy being so cute they both want him so he is currently confiscated in my kitchen.........poor tatty!




Tatty teddy is priced at £10 and the T-Shirt is priced at £11.99 which I think is about average for the price of the gifts, they are definitely worth the money. Moonpig have a great amount gift ideas and personalised gifts well worth popping over to there website and having a look.




The lovely people over at Moonpig are feeling very festive and have given me a lovely Jolly Christmas Chocolate Hamper to give away to one of my lovely readers.




Christmas gifts and personalised cards gifts for all occasions
