Our December favourites - parties, crafts & food

Knock knock. Whispers.. Is anybody there? Hello my loyal readers – long time, no speak! Or should that be write? Anyhow, it’s been a while. A very long one. I don’t think I’ve written ‘properly’ for over a month. I had planned to get everything crammed in before Christmas (was it a good one, by the way?), and then have a few days off, but neither of those plans went to, well, plan. But, I’m here now. I realised when I came to write this that for the first time in 18 months; since I began these in fact, I …

Food subscription gift ideas

by StaceyUpdated on November 1, 2024December 18, 2017

Whether you’re searching for Christmas gifts for someone hard to buy for, you’re a last minute gift buyer, or you’re looking for a gift that lasts longer than the Christmas festivities; a food subscription gift may be the choice for you.

#ParcelPerfect – How do you wrap yours?

by StaceyUpdated on November 28, 2025December 19, 2016

If there is one thing I always leave until the last minute at Christmas, it’s wrapping presents. I have been known to be sat wrapping at 10pm on Christmas Eve, finishing up; but obviously that’s only possible with gifts I am giving over the coming days. Over recent years I have taken part in Secret Santa exchanges with various online communities I am a part of, and this means my recipient is usually across the other side of the country. Hence, I need to send parcels via mail or courier. Contact Numbers UK have launched their #ParcelPerfect campaign; aiming to …
