Cuisine & Culture the Chinese Family Way
Many of you will have noticed that I often blog about jigsaw puzzles as it is one of my favourite hobbies. I find piecing together a puzzle is so satisfying and provides a great sense of achievement! Besides that, it is a great work out for the brain and can be beneficial for improving problem-solving, motor skills and eye coordination for all ages.

Buying gifts is never easy, is it? This is especially the case when the birthdays and Christmases start to rack up! If you are struggling to pick a gift for a loved one, we have some suggestions for you.
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.
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!
Are you still looking for some small and delicious stuff to fill up your Christmas stockings? Then why not surprise your loved ones with this limited edition Tinsel Teas from Adagio Teas! Last year, this limited edition Tinsel Teas was a great success in the United States, that they have now stocked them in Europe too! Don’t wait too long as it will get sold out soon.
