Cuisine & Culture the Chinese Family Way
This weekend, we will be joining in with millions of people to share friendship, food and fun over a cuppa. PG Tips has partnered with The Big Lunch, an initiative created by the Eden Project, to encourage people all over the nation to spend quality time with each other over food and a cuppa, or two. We were lucky to be sent this tea hamper to be involved in this project too.
The first virtual pet simulator Little Friends: Dogs & Cats is available to buy from today onwards in the UK exclusively on Nintendo Switch™. We are delighted to gain early access to meet our best friend in life!

This Father’s Day, we are taking Mr C on a trip down memory lane and the hero of his childhoods; Action Man! Action Man has been the favourite action figure of generations and their Timeless Classic range is not only just like the original but is packaged the same too! It seemed like a brilliant idea to rekindle those memories in time for this Father’s Day.
It can get a bit difficult to find toys that are exciting and new and choosing a gift for other people’s children can be quite daunting! Fear not, as Wicked Uncle is brilliant for exactly this. It is a gift website that stocks interesting and unusual children’s presents. They are essentially a present service for birthdays, Christmas and other occasions.
Wicked Uncle is more than just a toy shop, it can also help you choose what to buy. Simply fill in the age and gender of the child and it will select for you a range of toys that should suit that child. They have personally tested every product before they stock it; they build the kits, play the games, bake the rainbow cakes, blow the giant bubbles, and test drive the remote-control spiders! They stock a lot of items you just won’t find elsewhere.
We are so thrilled to announce that Squishmallows are landing in the UK next week.

Not only that, there will more Squishmallows added throughout the year with the back to school clip-on range and the Disney range arriving for this Christmas giving you even more characters to choose from!
Did you manage to join in an hour fun-filled Sqishmallows Twitter Party with the exclusive UK distributor HexBugs yesterday? Both my children are loving these super cute and soft Squishmallows 7.5 inch plushes and have been fighting over them since!
With the temperatures getting warmer and BBQ-friendly weather finally on the horizon, we might finally be able to enjoy our outdoor space! Now with these beautiful evenings, I think it’s the perfect excuse to get a garden centrepiece to keep the evening chill at bay with this modern Copper Rim fire pit from VonHaus.
Earlier this year, we bought an old property that required a lot of renovation. It was very daunting, especially when the surveyor came back with a number of things to be fixed. One such item on the report was that the windows needed maintenance. One of the bedroom windows was not able to open fully and there were a couple which were leaking air into the house!
I have not had any experience of choosing a window company before so I asked around online but no one was able to help. Nevertheless, I found Windows4You due to a Facebook competition I had entered during the Christmas period. I contracted them and within days, they came to measure up the windows. As part of the work, we also decided to change our front and back doors and the sliding door to a bifold door.
Now you can recreate your favourite ultimate monster trucks racing and freestyling with this awesome range of Monster Jam toys! Mr K is into his cars and loves watching those big monster trucks doing stunts! He was thrilled when he saw these Monster Jam toys and it is definitely up his street!
Our family have been huge fans of the Harry Potter movie series which are, of course, based on the bestselling series of novels by J.K. Rowling since it was first shown back in 2001. It is one of those magical movie experiences that continues to captivate us across eight films with a cast including Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, Alan Rickman and Ralph Fiennes.
My son and I are always fascinated with mummies and the strange phenomena and myths that surround them.
