Building the Crystal Art Mandalorian and Grogu XL

Posted on May 28, 2026May 24, 2026 by Jupiter

[Ad – Gifted Products] Crystal Art is not a new thing in our household, from Crystal Art keychains to ornaments, to other Disney franchises too. With the new Star Wars movie out now, of course it’s only natural to see the Crystal Art Mandalorian and Grogu XL Buddies, which are two, quite large, Crystal Art figures that can be displayed on a base! Robin very much wanted to do Grogu, giving me permission to take on the Mandalorian.

Eating Everything at Taste of Eataly Summer Edition

Posted on May 27, 2026May 24, 2026 by Jupiter

Dann and I love trying new food and food festivals. A work friend of mine, from a job we both freelance at, has been talking for over a year now about how both her and myself need to try oysters. This has become a bit of a thing, but as we don’t live near each other, we just haven’t sorted out the time. Until she started talking about Taste of Eataly, which allows you to try a bunch of different food, including oysters.

The Best Father’s Day Gifts 2026

Posted on May 26, 2026May 26, 2026 by Jupiter and Dann

[Ad – Gifted Products] Updated on May 26th, 2026, to add more gift ideas. 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.

Steenbergs BBQ Rubs

Steenbergs have a set of three seasoning blends, one of which being a rub and the other two being more of a seasoning mix. These seasonings are ideal for fathers who are BBQing or cooking this summer. I find these sorts of seasonings, in our household, really inspire us to cook something a little different and encourage new cooking. It’s also perfect for this time of year!

Exploring MCM Comic Con London 2026

Posted on May 25, 2026May 24, 2026 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted experience] Another year, another MCM Comic Con London! It feels like each time this comes around, at least one kid is out of school. We’ve had a day of just Kai, a day of Kai and Amelia, and this year we got a day of just Robin and a day of just Kai! On the Friday at MCM Comic Con London 2026, we took just Robin as she was the one without school that day. Kai had also asked to attend, so we decided to take him on the Sunday, as Dann and I always tend to go two days to get everything done.

SpongeBob SquarePants Labyrinth – Sliding around Bikini Bottom

Posted on May 22, 2026May 23, 2026 by Jupiter

[Ad – Gifted Products] Robin is such a huge fan of SpongeBob SquarePants, so when we saw SpongeBob SquarePants Labyrinth, we wanted to play it. We’ve previously played Pokemon Labyrinth, so we all sort of knew how the game was played. Labyrinth is a classic board game type, often finding different IPs to change out the characters, cards, and layouts on the board. SpongeBob SquarePants Labyrinth was absolutely perfect for Robin!
