Night Away at Luton Hoo Hotel

Posted on March 13, 2025March 27, 2025 by Jupiter

As a birthday gift, Dann booked a night at Luton Hoo Hotel, which is a large, historical manor, with a spa! Everything that I really want in a day of relaxation. We spent a night in the hotel, went to the spa for quite a large amount of time, roamed the grounds, and ate dinner at the manor. This was quite a relaxing experience and we very much enjoyed a night to ourselves, away from work.

Luton Hoo Hotel

When staying at the Luton Hoo Hotel, you can stay in the manor or you can stay in the nearby building which is basically touching the spa. Due to wanting to make the most of the spa, we very much wanted to be nearby instead of in the main building. We did spend some time roaming the manor, which had sitting rooms, lots of different historical items, and beautiful tapestries. There was a bar here and it’s where the meals are served. You can easily take a car (they drive you the 5 minute journey down the road) to the house we were staying at.

The game comes with a bunch of papers with different drawings, a dog that you put together, treat tokens, and instructions. We played this game at our local Geek Retreat on one of our board game nights after school.

[Ad- gifted product] The weather has been brighter out, the world feels defrosted for the most part, so it’s time to start thinking about your garden. Back in January, we got sent a box from Pot Gang with some fruit, vegetable and herbs to grow. To be honest, time in January got away from us, and we ended up growing our plants at the very end, with Amelia very much wanting to be in charge of them. Pot Gang has a monthly subscription of easy to grow plants, that feel very fulfilling when you grow them.

Greepz – Creepy Pasta-inspired Plush Collectables

Posted on March 10, 2025March 10, 2025 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted products] When it comes to teenagers and tweens, especially boys, there isn’t a lot out there to buy for them. I think it’s just the age group; they become extremely challenging to purchase gifts or to have interest in anything really. Kai is a big gamer and likes the gym, but one thing he quite enjoys with his friends, is horror. Greepz seems like the absolute perfect thing, as it is a spooky plush range, aimed at teens and adults, who like something a little more creepy and out there.
