The Best Father’s Day Gifts 2023

Updated on June 5th, 2023, to add more gifts! *AD – some items in this article were gifted to our household for this post. All opinions, as always, are our own.

During the almost-year that I’ve been writing on this website alongside Jupiter I’ve been introduced to a massive selection of companies who create custom, specialised presents and gifts perfect for a variety of events. Father’s Day is rapidly approaching, and this made me realise that this is – almost certainly – one of the best times of year for us to quickly list off some of the best Father’s Day gifts out there.

Buyagift’s Buyawhiff scents are a fun twist on memory-making

Anybody who has read the blog more than a few times over the past few years will be more than aware that we love attending Gift Experience-style days out. Spas, Hotel Stays, Afternoon Tea and days out are really our jam. Buyagift is a company that we’ve worked with previously, but, they’ve got something new going on over on their website: Buyawhiff.

Lan Kwai Fong – East Asian Kitchen & Bar | Restaurant Review

Lan Kwai Fong were offering a bottomless dim sum and cocktails, which we were just not going to miss. With a limit of 90 minutes, we both filled our stomachs and enjoyed our drinks, getting a large selection of the food offered there. Lan Kwai Fong has plenty of other deals and offers, so keep an eye out on their website to find the best deals for what you want to get!

A Day Out at 360 Play Basildon

Soft Play is a particular favourite, especially when the weather takes a cold, rainy turn during the British winter times. We have tried out a few different soft play areas, with our own favourite landing at 360 Play Basildon. This area has a bunch of different activities to do, which really does keep the kids busy, while the adults can chill on sofas or at tables, working on their computers. As both of us work from home, half terms and days off of school fit perfectly into the realm of soft play, where everyone can have a good time while getting out of the house.

360 Play Basildon has this entire motto about playing with your children and engaging with them – with all of the buildings and objects being parent friendly as well. You can choose to let your kids run about while waiting at a spot – but the wifi is a bit spotty so it’s hard to completely connect and work. There is also a massive outdoors area, by the looks of things, which include paddle boats, small shops and a sand area, but the weather hasn’t been good enough for those to be open on days when we go.

Welcome to Blogtober 2021 Tag

It is October once again, which means many blogs are taking on the Blogtober challenge! Last year, we smashed it out of the park, creating a Autumn or Halloween themed post each and every day for October – which was such a fun challenge. This year, we wanted to do things a bit differently. You see, we do post each and every day – and have so many amazing collabs in the works, that we feel it would be best if we continue with posting every day, but include an Autumn or Halloween themed post every other day, creating a further collection of Autumn posts. This sort of combines both the traditional challenge of posting every day with the theme of Autumn, which is something we enjoy including. As a start to our Blogtober challenge, much like last year, we have created a Tag and teamed up with a bunch of other bloggers that are also taking part in Blogtober.
