Picking out our Christmas Tree at Christmas Wrapped Up | Day Out

As a part of creating new traditions with our family, we decided to go to the same Christmas Tree farm as last year: Christmas Wrapped Up. We ended up spending the afternoon picking out a tree. There is something so special about being able to walk around a plot of trees, taking a look at each one before picking out the one you want – as I said before, last year was the first time that the children got to do it, so this year it was still incredibly new to them. As you might expect, trees are all quite different, although we went with a very specific tree in mind, something that was big and would fill up our living room. After clearing some space in our home and getting all of our decorations together, we set off.

Shopping for Men’s Accessories with Trendhim

[Ad- gifted product] When it comes to shopping for men or people who prefer some masculine accessories, it can be a challenge. There are plenty of cheap leather bracelets marketed at masculine people, as well as dozens of sites stating they have great products, but Trendhim seems to be the real deal. Trendhim is looking to provide accessories that can be worn every day, giving people the ability to make their look their own, through the smaller details that they wear. Often, masculinity doesn’t mean accessories, but time has moved on, wearing accessories has come to be common and quite lovely.

If you are looking for inspiration on what to get someone this holiday season, we have hand picked three items from Trendhim that we have been enjoying ourselves.

A Day Out at Christmas Wonderland at Lakeside

When we heard that Winter Wonderland in London was cancelled this year, we were pretty sad. Dann and I always make a journey to the lovely Winter Wonderland, enjoying all of the foods, rides, and more. Despite it being cancelled, Christmas Wonderland is taking place at Lakeside, and although it isn’t as big, it does have ice skating! I love ice skating so much, it’s something I’ve always done. As a young kid, when ponds would freeze over, everyone would get their skates and ice skate along them, playing games of hockey or just hanging out. It’s a lovely time, so when Dann surprised me with the tickets to go ice skating, I was pretty pumped.

Doughnut Time’s Gingerbread Doughman DIY Kit | Review

We have been making the various Doughnut Time kits all lock down, checking out the Cookie Dough Sando and the Design-Yo-Own 2.0, impressed with the idea of creating our own donuts and putting them together with various bits of decorations. Doughnut Time then announced a few different festive donut kits – so I am sure this won’t be the only one featured during Blogmas! The Gingerbread Doughman DIY Kit is actually a vegan kit where you get to fill your own doughnuts – something we were very excited about!

Lapland Letters – Letters from Father Christmas | Review

[Ad- gifted product] With Christmas just around the corner, we wanted to start some new traditions for our family. Last year, the children all got the chance to meet Father Christmas and make their Christmas wishes. Because this year, due to Covid, there probably won’t be any of that, we decided to write Father Christmas some letters! All three of the kids sat down last month and wrote up what they wanted for Christmas and about how good they were – of course – and send them off, not really expecting a reply. I then took the opportunity to get some customized Lapland Letters done for each of the children, giving them a specific reply to them from Father Christmas himself.
