This week has been so exciting as not only is the World Cup starting, it is also Father’s Day this Sunday. I believe most men would love to catch some footie and chill out at home. But don’t forget that they also deserve a gift from their partner or children to celebrating their day. If you have not got them any gifts yet, don’t panic! House of Fraser have a good selection of menswear gifts for the well deserved father!
Spring Wardrobe Wishlist
It’s officially Spring time with us going forwards an hour this weekend! I can’t wait for the sun to stay a bit longer with us so that both children can get active and play outside as much as possible.
I like to de-clutter and put things away as soon as possible. If you know me well, you will know how quickly I get the house clean and get ready for the next season! I have to be honest, last year I managed to win at least 10 mugs via Twitter and now my cupboard looks like a collection of random brands. Also during Easter time, you tend to get Easter eggs with a mug! I can’t wait to get rid of some of them to a charity shop soon.
Chinese New Year Reunion Dinner
A reunion dinner is held on the eve of the Chinese New Year, during which family members get together to celebrate. It used to be dinner time where all family members gather around but due to work or other family commitments, it can be any time of the day as long as it is on the eve.
Lets Gone Crabbing at the Seaside
I am excited to work with Gone Crabbing as their range of gifts are very unique and cute too. It is rare to find high-end holiday souvenir shops. The usual souvenir shops tend to have the same stuff, like rock, key rings, postcards, cheap t-shirts etc. Gone Crabbing is totally different! Their clothing design is funky, bright colourful and very unique. They also have crisp cotton tea towels & oven mitts, mugs & coasters, pencils, erasers, badges, fridge magnets and a fun range of cards.
I love Colin the Crab. He is such an adorable orange crab. This is both Mr K and Ms C wearing the red hoodie top – You’re gonna need a bigger bucket!
e-cloth Review
A New Year, a new start of year! For Chinese, we are just about to start our New Year. As in my previous post, I had mentioned about the Lunar New Year. So before the New Year, all households will do a spring clean to wash away the bad luck and welcome good fortune to the house. According to Feng Shui, it is good to de-clutter your house to allow the good feng shui energy in your home.
We tend to involve the whole household and spend at least a whole day to clean up. From washing windows, doors, walls, oven, kitchen to every corner of the house.
Lucas Frank Boy Range
Not long ago Red Rose Mummy discovered beautiful clothing from Lucas Frank and told her followers about it. Now I am really pleased to discover them too as the quality of their clothing is excellent. Lucas Frank is a young British brand offering quality Tee Shirts, Hoodies, Rugby Shirts and Polo Shirts. Sorry, girls! This is strictly a boys range only, from 18 months to 10 years old. Their clothing is practical and comfortable.
Beko Washer-Dryer WDA91440W Review
Not long ago, I mentioned about how Beko’s new air-cool technology cut the cost of laundry and how I installed the washing machine with the help of my husband. It is very straightforward but required a lot of strength to take out the transit bolts. The washing machine is 65 cm deep by 60 cm wide by 84 cm tall. It should fit nicely into a 60 cm by 60 cm by 86 cm kitchen under-counter. Please take a look at my previous post here on how to install it.
Star Wars Jedi Dressing Gown
Mr C is a huge fan of Star Wars. When he saw this dressing gown, he was delighted – he couldn’t wait to unleash the force. Mr K was so jealous of his dad. He wants to be a Jedi too.This dressing gown resembles Obi Wan’s cloak from the legendary films, and any aspiring Jedi Knight will love it. It is well made with fine attention to detail. The material is 100% polyester fleece. It has two pockets, embroidered Jedi logo on the left side, large hood and big bell sleeves. It also comes with a sash belt. It is 146cm long that will fit adults size Medium to X Large. Mr C is 5 foot 4 (163cm) and the length of the rode touches on his toes. It is too big for him but it will keep him very warm and cosy with the fleece material. As it is made from fleece, it is bound to cause static. Besides being carefully of his light sabre, he needs to be careful he doesn’t get zapped by the static as it can be painful!
Philips Perfect Care Ironing Party
We were so lucky to get picked by Come Round to host Philips Perfect Care Ironing Party this weekend! There have been other ironing parties before but I have never hosted one and so was unsure what to do besides showing everyone my awesome Philips Azur Steam iron and Easy 8 ironing board! Azur can be use any ironable garment from silk, to linen, to cotton, to cashmere, in any order, without adjusting the temperature. It delivers perfect results without the risk of burn or shine.
Panda and Lightning McQueen Onesie
Onesies are so popular nowadays with both kids and adults. If you have not come across a onesie, they are an all in one jumpsuit! What makes them so special is that they are comfort to wear and keeps you warm during these harsh and bitter months!
Ms C is wearing this cute little panda bear onesie which is made from super soft faux fur, featuring a cute panda face to the hood and is finished with a polka dot bow. It come with a zip through fastening. They keep her very snug and the foot muffs come with mini grip. Some of the fur did come off – my husband joked that it must be moulting! Do you think she looks cute in this? This is a size 3 – 4 years old that is suitable for 98 – 104 cm. It is about right for Ms C as she is about 95 cm. She still have plenty of room to grow. As she wore it to sleep, we only gave her a light blanket just in case she gets too hot! She absolutely loves her cute onesie!
Zalando UK Bedding Review
Nowadays shopping online has become more and more popular as it is so easy to shop virtually than physically! I still remember years ago, when we had to drive to various large shopping malls over a few weekends, and spending the whole day to shop on each occasion. Now, within a few mouse clicks, your shop can be completed much more quickly and can normally be sent to you within a few days.
My Blog TShirtPrinting

Or if you have an event, charity, fun run or even a Hen party and you would like to get everyone wearing the same designs? TShirtPrinting might be able to help you!

Beside T-shirts, they also print polo shirts, sweatshirts or hoodies, branded with company logos, messages, or taglines. They also comes in different sizes, colours, shapes and designs.
Miioon Ruckjack with Moshi Monster
As winter is approaching it is time to get out your coats. Ms C has outgrown her old white coat and we were very lucky to try a new website Miioon that allows the children to design their own clothes and accessories. Miioon is a co-creation site that is all about getting kids getting creative and designing their own clothes (Ruckjack, T-shirt, Swoopercape, and Pyjamas) selecting their own accessories, with some of their favourite characters – e.g. Moshi Monsters and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. In October, Miioon are also launching a gift card through Asda which makes it a really easy Christmas gift – particularly for god children, friends’ children, young relatives etc.

Their designs are cool and contemporary and although they are super comfy they are produced without using any harmful chemicals – perfect for your little ones and the planet!
