Exploring the Pokemon European International Champions

Posted on February 16, 2026February 16, 2026 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted experience] It’s not the first year that I have attended the Pokemon Europe International Championships, which is a huge, overwhelmingly Pokemon focused event that happens at the Excel each year. As this year is the 30th anniversary of Pokemon, there was an even bigger buzz than usual as the event was coming up. I am very much into Pokemon, running a local Pokemon Go community (that’s officially partnered with Niantic) and I’ve written about Pokemon events as a member of the press for quite some time – so I wasn’t going to miss this event which was a stone’s throw away from my town!

Chocolate Lolly Maker – Cute Candy Maker

Posted on February 13, 2026February 14, 2026 by Jupiter

[Ad – Gifted Product] Valentine’s Day isn’t only an adult holiday, and as such, having something fun for children to get involved with makes for a fantastic day. Robin was pumped to try out the Chocolate Lolly Maker, which allows you to take some chocolate and make it into something new! If you, like us, have tons of chocolate left over from Christmas, giving it a new life around Valentine’s Day is actually a great way to get your leftover candy consumed.

Exploring the Austrian National Library

Now, when it was explained that one of our outings while in Austria would be to the Austrian National Library, I didn’t really get why would we would be going there. Surely, I’ve seen libraries before! We were then told that this is one of the libraries that Beauty and the Beast was inspired by, I was a little more interested, but still thought it would be like a normal, functioning library. It turns out, the Austrian National Library is more like a museum that is within a library, and it’s absolutely packed with people.

Ding Dong Dim Sum Set Boxes – Perfect for Date Night

Posted on February 11, 2026February 11, 2026 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted product] Dann and I are big food lovers, especially Asian food. Though we are known to go out quite a bit, it’s fun to mix things up and have an at home date night from time to time. Especially as we are both people who work from home, and with kids to feed in the evening, having a little at home date night box full of food for a lunchtime date is sometimes absolutely perfect. That’s exactly what we did with our Ding Dong Dim Sum Set box – we went with the Legends box – which was so much fun!

Dog Man: The Hot Dog Card Game – Quick and Fun

Posted on February 10, 2026February 11, 2026 by Jupiter

[Ad – Gifted Product] When it comes to card games, I really do love card games that are in a tin! The Dog Man: The Hot Dog Card Game is one such game – the tin making it very easy to bring out and about with you. I find card games like this to be perfect for little moments between activities, as the game itself isn’t that long, but it’s an entertaining and fun one where everyone can play together. If you aren’t familiar with Dog Man, the comic book character, this game is still fine to play.
