Stamptastic Address Stamp

We are very delighted to be part of the Stamptastic Ambassador programme and hope in the near future, we can bring you more exciting news and be reviewing Stamptastic products.

Last year, we had a great opportunity to try out and review their name stamps. Until today, the ink on my children’s clothing is still visible and only a few items of clothing needed to be re-stamped. I am very impressed with it. This is far better than those iron on tags. We have had those name tags before and they start peeling off after about 6 months. With the stamp, it allows you to re-stamp whenever the ink is very light.

Anyway this time around, we had the chance to review their address stamp. They also make customised stamps for crafters/ logos for small businesses etc.

Father’s Day Gift with Snapfish

Need some inspiration for personalised gifts and cards? There are many ways to show how much we love our father this coming Father’s Day. We have made handprint cards, bookmarks and many more. We had also made a few personalised gifts using Snapfish by turning the children’s art into a book and family poster!

Both my children love arts and crafts. They will both happily sit there and design their own storyboard, cards, paintings, etc. So I set both of them a challenge to design me ‘Our Family Name Poster’. In no time, they both presented me their best drawing of our family.

How to Personalised Upcycled Wine Glass

Recently, I was sent Scotch Magic tape to do an Easter Egg challenge but it seem there are many bloggers doing the same challenge. I decided to make something different so I asked my close friends for ideas and Pippa suggested to paint on glass instead of an egg. This sounded like a nice challenge so I used my one of the odd wine glasses and the Baker Ross liquid wax pens.

A3 Personlised Art Frame

Both of my children always come back home with their school drawings which would be nice to pin up or frame.  We often find that we have no wall or fridge space to spare to pin up their lovely drawings.  Then I came across My 1st Years who specialise in personalised baby gifts and one of those gifts is this beautiful white A3 Personalised Art Frame.

TinyMe Personalised Items Review

A few weeks ago, I was invited to attend a dinner event with TinyMe. Before that, I had not heard of them before nor used their products. It was great that I was able to see their beautiful personalised products. It was really enjoyable night and it was great to meet some fellow bloggers. We were each given a voucher to spend on their website.

Personalised Notebooks

Ever since I started blogging about food and coupled with getting old (bad memory), I have so many things to remember that I have to use a notebook to jot down all the recipes I have adapted.  Following recipes from cookbooks does not always have to be literally followed – sometimes I swap them with different ingredients to suit my family!  Having a notebook is very essential and critical. Having my own secret book will make the recipes extra special.

Halloween Glow in the Dark Trick or Treat Bag!

This coming Halloween, do you have any plans for your children? Anyone having a party? Each year, my children and I will go to our village hall to celebrate.  There is usually a best pumpkin carving competition, a ghost walk around the village, tarot card reading, apple bobbing, smack the rat etc. I didn’t celebrate Halloween until I had my two little monsters! I really enjoy getting into the spirit of the celebration with my children and they do too. Over the years I have bought them plastic buckets to go trick or treating. This year YourDesign.co.uk offered to send me a personalised Trick or Treat bag for review!

Personalise Photo Book by love2read

The premise of the personalised photo book by love2read is to help your child develop a love of reading. It does this by presenting photographs which reflect your child’s world and relating them to simple words.  Research shows that if your child loves books they will learn to read much faster and you will be encouraging a lifelong love of reading. The key words in each book are known as “high frequency ” words, which are some of the first words your child will be taught to recognise when they start school.

All you have to do is upload ten suitable photographs into a virtual book at www.love2read.co.uk and add some simple text. Your book will be printed and sent to your home address within 10 days. There are over 80 titles to choose from or you can create your own titles from the website.

The books are themed around National Curriculum keywords and are designed to stimulate the child’s interest in books so that they really want to read. No software is needed, the website is easy to use and you can even save your book as you go along if you need to come back to it later. There is a demo video on each title.
