It’s been a while since we have done a large giveaway on Life with Jupiter and Dann, so we figured we could dive into this massive one, with the help of a bunch of lovely bloggers from the UK! As summer is here, I am sure you’ve seen lots of cool new toys, items, and otherwise fun stuff that you may want to have purchased, and we are looking to help, as the winner will receive a gift card to spend on whatever they want at M&S! We figured leaving the prize open would allow everyone to enjoy it their own way. Hopefully, this prize helps you have an awesome summer!

A Day Out at Bockett’s Farm Park
Looking for more animal-related days out, back before lockdown, for the kids to enjoy, we wanted to find a place that had a good amount of rides and other activities, allowing Kai, Amelia and Robin to see animals and have a bunch of fun! That’s when we came across Bockett’s Farm Park – a farm and amusement park with soft play, a cafe, indoor animals, out door animals, play grounds and so much more. When spending time at the farm, we ended up being there literally all day, from opening to closing, and we still didn’t see everything!

Kid’s Against Maturity – a funny card game | Review
[Ad- gifted product] It’s no secret that we play a lot of board games at our home. Dann and I have a regular board game night, with all of our friends, every other week. The children, seeing and being surrounded by our board game collection, have taken an interest in board games, finding family favorites like the Minecraft Board Game and Flip Out, a game about flipping pancakes. So, when we went to Smyth’s to find Kid’s Against Maturity, they were delighted, and eager to point out all of the board games from Smyth’s that we have already played.

Knot: A Trilogy – An Audio Experience Played Alone
[Ad- gifted experience] Dann and I have participated in digital, immersive experiences before, primarily with our table top group, to help us come together during Lockdown or when we are apart from each other. Knot felt like it fit into this sort of category – some sort of digital, audio game that only needed one player. It’s an experience, that you can do on your own terms, really, and requires very little set up. Knot: A Trilogy is spread out into three different chapters, that each are best experienced in different locations, at a set time. To participate in these experiences, you need to download an app and activate your ticket, then wait for the time to come.
In the first chapter of Knot is titled you are meant to be on a park bench in public for this experience. Sadly, it was sprinkling the day that I went to experience Knot, so I opted to sit in my back yard, on a bench, in the rain, to compromise. They do advise that you could have created some sort of bench in your own home if it was raining, but I wanted to stay outside at the very least and didn’t think a bunch of rain would make too much of a difference. I laid out a towel, plugged in my earbuds, and waiting for the timer to tick on.

A Day Out at the Line Friends / BT21 x Artbox Cafe & Boutique
The Artbox Cafe & Boutique has changed their theme again, for the first time since lockdown, so we all really just had to go back! This cafe, if you don’t know, changes the theme of the characters, the menu, and all of the merch inside the boutique every few months, providing a new experience. These themes all based around Japanese characters and shows, showcasing cute and colorful creatures that bring a fantastic feeling to the place. Previously, we’ve seen the Pusheen theme, the Gudetama theme, and the spooky Gudetama theme, however, BT21 and Line Friends were new characters for me! Let’s get into what was on the menu. As always, we went with Claire who also write up the cafe on her blog, and this time she brought along her partner David!
