Stamptastic Personalised Stamp Review

We are a big fan of Stamptastic and we knew what to expect as their products are always great quality and last for ages! We are still using both my children’s personalised name stamps that we had from five years ago. This is how great their products are. They’ll last forever if you use them carefully!

Kitedrone Kites Review

Last month, on the 8th February, marked the yearly National Kite Flying Day by many kite flying enthusiasts. We were so lucky to try out this Kitedrone Twinstar Hot Rods from Character Options, especially at this time of the year, when it is quite breezy and with clear skies.

Kitdget 25L Professional Food Steamer Review

If you are looking quick and healthier ways to cook your food, then steaming food is one of the best cooking methods of all. It helps to retain the nutritional value of food by conserving the fibre, colour, texture and flavour of vegetables. It also helps in preserving the water-soluble B & C vitamins, potassium, phosphorus and zinc.

Do remember that steaming is not just only for vegetables and fish! There are plenty of ways to cook a meal using steam! You can also steam a cake/cupcake, dim sum, chicken and many more! Do check out my recipes: steam rose bun, niao gao, rice cake, seabass, sponge cake.

Introducing the new Wesco Loft Collection

This new year, if you are after the increasingly popular industrial-style theme, then look no further! The iconic housewares specialist Wesco has recently launched this exciting new collection “Loft” that give kitchen and bathroom accessories a matt-powder-coating finish to give a modern, edgy look.

Clean lines, simple forms and stark contrasts are a must for this minimalist look. The collection’s colour palette of black, white, cool grey and graphite captures this perfectly and add an industrial sharpness.

eufy BodySense Smart Scale Review

These days we understand that there’s much more to being healthy than how much we weigh and to help us to get on track and more detailed health statistics, the eufy BodySense Smart Scale is the way to go. I know that smart scales with Bluetooth are not a new thing in the market, but what I love about this scale is how affordable it is and how smart it looks!

Paladone Gift Guide for Gamers

Buying gifts for young people/adults who like to play games can be very tricky. They might already own many gaming products and gadgets. To help with some alternative gadgety toys, we are delighted to receive this selection of merchandise from Paladone! These items should give you a few ideas to buy this Christmas. Personally, these are things that I like and even before I had a chance to unbox them, my children and husband already had their eyes on them!

Maqio Boxes – Your Storage Solution

As we are running towards the festive season, the number of presents our children will be receiving can easily overrun our living space. Now thanks to these cute and affordable Maqio boxes, we can keep everything organised and our children’s bedrooms neat and tidy. Unsurprisingly, my children can generate a lot of mess, especially Ms C! She has so many small collectables that always clutter the floor!

New Look Elf Pyjamas Review

Have you seen the latest range of His and Her Elf pyjamas sets from New Look for this Christmas season? It is not very often that both Mr C and I own similar sets of clothing. The last time we did was years ago, where all of us dressed up in Captain America t-shirts for the new year.

ZeroWater Filter Jug Review

This ZeroWater filter jug removes virtually all dissolved solids, thanks to their unique 5-stage Ion Exchange Filtration system, to provide you with the purest tasting water. It has a capacity of a 10 cup pitcher and 2 cups in reserve, which is great for a big family or at work. This big jug is well made with a soft grip handle. The lid comes with a detachable water quality meter, a small opening spout and a big removable lid for filling the water.
