[Ad – Gifted Products] Updated on May 31st, 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.

Enjoying the Community Spirit at Potter Street Fete 2025

Posted on May 30, 2025June 12, 2025 by Jupiter

Last year, Dann and I started helping out with the Harlow Chinese School. This year, when the opportunity came up to join the committee for the Potter Street Fete 2025, we both really wanted to help out. Community is something that has always been important to me, and Potter Street is full of community! This little fete has been running for 5 years this year, so it was a big one to help out with. Dann and I started coming to the committee meetings about 6 months ago, helping plan out things like stalls, Dann made a website, and I created the programme!

Beautiful Crystal Suncatchers from Xander Kostroma

Posted on May 29, 2025June 12, 2025 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted product] We love a little bit of unique color in our home! Suncatchers are a real favorite, as our home has a lot of big windows, that feel perfect for catching the sun. We do have a bunch of plants in our dining area’s windows, along with a single large suncatcher handmade by a friend of mine, as well as suncatchers that stick to the glass of your windows on the windows to the front of our house. These suncatchers bring little rainbows into our home and joy to us, as we see them. Xander Kostroma has some stunning, real-crystal based suncatchers that caught our eyes!

Eating Italian Food at Sophia Loren Restaurant

Posted on May 28, 2025June 9, 2025 by Jupiter

Is it smart to get Italian food right near the Doumo in Milan? Probably not. It’s most likely going to be more expensive than anywhere else, and it might not even taste that good. With that in mind, we did really want to have a more traditional lunch and didn’t want to spend a lot of time walking, so we went to Sophia Loren Restaurant. Sophia Loren is a film star, something I didn’t realize until we were seated and I read the menu, which has a bunch of text about how she wanted to open an Italian restaurant because she loves food. But, it’s really the taste of the food that matters.

Trying out Toast’ems Pop-Ups

Posted on May 27, 2025June 9, 2025 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted product] I have always heard about those toaster pastries, but it turns out, they aren’t the originals! Toast’ems Pop-ups, previously called Post Country Squares, were made in 1963, before Kellogg’s version of the pastry came out later that year. It’s interesting to see what brands become household names!
