#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!







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.









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.

It's The Dogs Doodahs! #Reveiw and #Giveaway

First Of all I love that title "The Dogs Doodahs" It makes me smile every time I read it.

The Dogs Doodahs is a fantastic slightly cheeky Personalised card and gift company.

 

The Company have a vast amount of cards to choose from, for all occasions birthdays, anniversary's, get well soon cards and even divorce cards. A lot of the cards have humour in mind, but if you like cards to have meaningful words, pictures or just blank cards you cant go wrong their really is a choice for everyone.  

I was given a code to order a card of my choice, I decided that I would order a card for the boys dad. The birthday card making process is really simple, there is a box at the side of the page where you can search for what you want for example, Whats the card for?, Who is the card for? and the occasion, once you have selected your options, it searches and gives you a list of all the cards available for the one you would like. You then pick your design, of which there are lots to choose from some of which are just standard you don't have to change anything on them, others you can change things on them like putting in them specific photos and names.

I choose for the boys names to be on the front of the cards and for one of them to have a personalised picture on it. I have to say the whole process is really simple. 

There is also a choice of two sizes of card A5 or A4. The prices are £3.50 for a standard size A5 card and the A4 card is priced at £5.95

I ordered two birthday cards for Adam and Liam's Daddy. The great thing is if you order them before before 2pm they are delivered either to you or the person you love the very next day! The cards are a fantastic quality and I would definitely use this site again for card and gifts and with Christmas nearly here what a fantastic way to save time you could literally make your Christmas cards in your dinner hour!. I would show you the cards that I have made and pesonalised but I know that their daddy might read my blog and we all know its unlucky to see your card or to open them before your birthday!!.

The Anagranimals and the Wishing Tree #Review and #giveaway

So a few weeks ago a beautiful package dropped though my letterbox wrapped in red tissue paper it was a wonderful new book.

We love books in our house you can never have enough! This book is called The Anagranimals and the Wishing Tree written by Leith Moghli and Illustrated by Ian King,

The book is aimed at five to seven year old children, However I read this book a few pages at a time each night to the boys and they really loved it. The story is about 6 animals Heidi the Hippo, Pedro the Pig, Lancelot the Lion, Ebenezer the Elephant, George the Giraffe and Rocky the Rhino longing to do things that the other animals can do. They literally bump into a magical tree. This tree is a Wishing Tree, and it grants each animal a wish.

This is the first book in a series, with two more already planned the ending to the first book is left open for another story "The Anagranimals and the Weeping Willow".  To go alongside the books there is also a website under construction and a range of interchangeable cuddly toys being made as we speak!  As you can see, it’s definitely more than just a book the options are endless!

This story has a lot of words in it however the book is fun and keeps everyone entertained the illustrations are bright and really bring the words to life. I really enjoyed this book and so did the boys A simply brilliant idea for a story one that you could read again and again.

The lovely Leith Moghli has been kind enough to offer readers of my blog the chance to win a signed copy of this first edition Anaganimals and the Wishing Tree book, all you have to do is enter via the rafflecopter below.

The site has classic games like games Ker-plunk and pop up pirate, It also has a varied range of toys for different ages there are different brands available like Peppa Pig toys, Leap frog and Lego, from masks to story's they seem to have something fun and educational available for all ages and sexes.

The Website its self is quite a basic, although it is easy to navigate around there is a search bar so if you know what you are looking for you can type it straight in and it comes up with lots of options.

I Think the colour is quite boring and at a glance I think you would struggle to see that the site was selling toys, also I think the categories down the side could do with being much clearer.
Having said all of that most of the products and upcoming products are promoted through their Facebook page this is definitely worth popping over and giving it a like it will keep you updated and give you lots of ideas for Christmas and any other upcoming occasion.

Over all I think that product content is one of the most important things on a site.

Yu Healthy Snacks review and #giveaway

As a parent I am always on the look out for healthy alternatives and new food options for  boys to try so when Yu asked if we would like to try a selection of there healthy snack I couldn't resist.

They sent us two Yu bars, Three bags of fruity chews and a packet of yogurt coated fruit bits,

First up we tried the Fruity chews these are 100% fruit with less than 90 calories, fat free and no added sugar. The perfect little healthy snack, hopefully looking enough like sweets to trick my Liam into eating them. As anything that is fruit Liam refuses to eat, I popped a packet of the strawberry flavour into a bowl for him, not actually having high expectations but he actually ate them all he loved them, he was also asking for more that's a result.

The little fruit chews are a fantastic idea for pack lunch, for school or for a treat when going on an outing in the car. Needless to say the other two flavours didn't last long I had to split the bags between the boys they both loved them. Flavours in this range are strawberry, mango, blueberry, blackcurrant and cherry.




Next up I tried the strawberry fruit Yu bar, the bar is guaranteed to have 40% fruit inside and is then coated in yogurt, I didn't want to share the bar with the boys I am always running around most of the time so having a fruit bar to eat was perfect as I could munch it whilst I was getting my jobs done, plus its healthy and convenient which I think is what all parents need with active children and lifestyles. The taste it was delicious not to sweet, I have to say I could have eaten another couple I really liked it. other flavours in range include strawberry, blueberry, blackcurrant and cherry.

Last but not least the granola and strawberry snacks, these are crunchy cereal and fruit pieces covered in yogurt, they tasted great Liam wouldn't try any because he is fussy but Adam had one and soon was asking for "more" they are packed full of taste and flavour the perfect snack and at just 99 calories for the bag it cant be much better healthy and tasty. These snacks are ideal for lunch box treats!

Overall I thought the Yu range of snacks were fantastic all bursting with flavour and healthy which is always great to see Yu healthy snacks are available to purchase in Waitrose, Tesco and Sainsburys right now and its definitely worth giving these great snacks a try!

To find out more information about Yu Healthy Snacks you can visit there Facebook page or Twitter Page Or view there full website HERE
