Personalised Gift Ideas this Mother’s Day

This year in the UK, Mother’s Day falls on the 27th March and it will be very different from the past two years, as there are no coronavirus restrictions in place! Whether you will be celebrating in person or not, there is always a special way to show your mother/aunty/step-mother/grandmother how much they mean to you through photo gifts.

Thanks to Boots Photo who are running this year’s campaign ‘Worth A Thousand Words’ and gave gifted me this opportunity to make these fantastic personalised gifts to my mother who lives in Singapore and my mother-in-law for this special day.

So in this post, we’ll be talking about some of the latest wedding trends that could change the look and feel of your wedding.

HP Envy 5540 Printer Review

Over the last month, we have been taking part in the Mumsnet Instant Ink test, along with nine other bloggers, to try out this HP Envy 5540 printer for a month. As many of you will know, having a printer at home can allow you to get many things done. From printing money saving vouchers to photos and from printing copies of legal documents to children’s school work, we definitely can’t live without it in this household!

If you don’t already have a printer, you might be wondering what the costs of buying replacement ink cartridges are, but even if you do already have a printer, you might be curious how this HP Envy stacks up against yours.  In fact HP have a really neat solution called HP Instant Ink which is a  replacement service where the printer will know when it’s low on ink and will ship you new cartridges before you run out. You select your monthly price plan which includes the ink cartridges and delivery costs for as little as £1.99 per month and they take care of the rest.

Vtech DigiGo Review

We are thrilled to be part of the Vtech DigiGo Ambassador Campaign with tots100 and over the next three months, I will bring you some interesting news from Vtech.

We have received this Vtech DigiGo which is a hand held smart device for children aged 3 to 7. Both my children are pretty tech savvy and within minutes they knew exactly how to play it. It’s also helpful that we do own an InnoTAB 2 which we’ve had for a few years now.

Besides the usual features like taking photo and videos, playing learning games and using the multimedia player, this Vtech DigiGo allows your child to send and receive text or voice messages, photos, drawing and much more with (parent-approved) family and friends’ smartphone using the built in wireless connection.

Rhino Shield Review – Samsung Galaxy Note 3

Each time we buy a gadget with a screen, the first thought is to get screen protector and casing to prevent the new gadget from damaged.  There are so many brands on the market and it’s sometimes difficult to decide which one to choose from.  I used to buy cheap screen protectors simply because they were cheap.  However, they wouldn’t last very long and after seeing a few demonstrations at the gadget show, I have totally changed my mind.  Cheap screen protectors do not give you adequate protection from impact damage.

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.

Early April, Ms C went for her modelling job and now her photo has hit the shelves! I think it has been there for quite some time but I forgot to look out for it! I found that she is on the Wilko Play: Ice Cream and Waffle Dough Set and also on the Cleaning Trolley.

My Blog TShirtPrinting

Have you ever thought of wanting to print your own t-shirt but not sure where to go?  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! They recently sent me my blog banner t-shirt for review. I opted for a Large ladies size with white colour cotton T-shirt.  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.

Truprint Canvas Review

Truprint offers services for printing photos, but it’s not just photo paper as you can also have printed cards, photo mugs, posters, calendars and many more. They have kindly offered me two canvases to review. Truprint offers various sizes of Photo Canvas of Single Image Canvas, Collage Canvas, Split Photo Canvas, Multiple Canvas Prints and Premium Canvas. I went for the biggest size to suit our conservatory wall, rectangular 24 x 20 inch with photo wrapping around edges. The canvas in-between both Truprint canvases of my children is not part of the review.
