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 …

Around the world in 2018 | a luxury travel bucket list

by StaceyUpdated on November 28, 2025December 23, 2017

Photo by Christine Roy on Unsplash Though the title says, as much as I would love to travel around the world in 2018, it most definitely is not going to happen. In fact, we haven’t even travelled out of the UK for almost ten years. So the boys have never been abroad, but I would love to broaden their travel horizons and give them some amazing experiences. Even myself, I’ve only been as far as the Canary Islands, and that’s when I was a teenager. So yeah, quite a while ago… The lovely people over at Destination2 have asked me to put together a travel bucket list …

Festivity with Prestige Flowers | Review

A few weeks ago though, the lovely people at Prestige Flowers sent me a bunch …

November Degustabox | Subscription Box Review

by StaceyUpdated on December 18, 2017December 19, 2017

I say it every month, but I was really looking forward to receiving the November Degustabox, as the closer it gets to Christmas, the more likely to be some lovely Christmassy treats in there! There was a good mix of sweet and savoury in this one, with quite a few brands that were new to me. Enjoy 10 to 15 surprise products, many are completely new to the market! Receive your Degustabox every month filled with goodies. All for much less than you would pay in the shops! So what was inside the November Degustabox?

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. I’m a bit of a subscription box lover – especially food related ones! – and there are so many more I would love to try. But, you know, pennies. Anyone who bought me a food subscription as a gift though, I would love forever. Doesn’t everyone love food that they haven’t had to buy themselves? 😉 I’ve put together …
