Beer Hawk Festive Cheers Selection Box | Review

[Ad- gifted product] When it comes to picking out a really good gift for somebody, sometimes it’s really not that easy to find something that’s truly perfect – do you focus in on something they need, do you get something that’s in line with their hobbies, or do you get something that’s a simple treat. This is where selection boxes, and the sort, really come in handy. Jupiter got me, earlier on in the year, the Beer Hawk Selection Box, which is a really great gift for beer lovers, and is also a really nice introduction into the Beer Box idea. When we saw the Beer Hawk Festive Cheers Selection Box on Moonpig, we ordered one!

I’ve not used Beer Hawk before, but it’s a website which – alongside making gift packages – sells everything from beer glasses through to full kegs of beer. This gift box, with its festive design, was clearly designed as a quick Christmas treat, and alongside the five beers that it contained also included a beer glass and a set of chocolate tokens. While I’ll get to the beers in a moment, I wanted to take a quick moment to point out how well organised the whole thing was. Inside the Beer Hawk Festive Cheers Selection Box, there were marked partitions for each of the seven things included, with rigid walling to separate them. It’s clear that a lot of care has gone into the packaging design, which is nice to see when talking about a company who ships glass and bottles as well as cans and more.

Fruity Mince Pies | Recipe

As an American living in England, I had never previously had or heard of Mince Pies. Despite beef being called ‘mince’ when it’s ground in the UK, Mince Pies do not contain any meat anymore and actually are a really lovely, sweet treat that’s super popular around the wintertime! Mince pies can be found in loads of stores – we have a ranking list of our favorites – but this year we decided to do some experimenting and try out own! We ended up loving a super fruity mince pie that we had made, and it was so easy and fun to do!

The Grinch Dr. Seuss Bath Snow | Review

Every year in England, I hope for snow and I do not get snow. Last year, we got some Zimpli Kids Snoballs to try out, but this year we had our eyes peeled for more snow-replacements to test. While picking up some stuff at The Range, I came across the Grinch Bath Snow, which seemed like a cool thing to try out! I can’t seem to find it anywhere online, so I am so glad we grabbed a bottle. As you probably have guessed if you spend time on this blog, we do a lot of bath bombs in our baths, as well as bath slimes, soaps and anything else that is bath related! It’s always a fun time.

Salt Dough Ornaments | Crafts

This year, we wanted to make some of our own ornaments to go on the tree. After tackling some of the crafts from our Wild & Willow box, Jupiter had the idea to make some salt dough ornaments – and it turns out they are pretty simple and easy to make. The kids each made their own, using a bunch of different cookie cutters, and Jupiter made one of the classic handprint ornaments with Pancake’s hand! It came out pretty nicely.

Willow & Wild December Sibling Box | Review

Another month has come and gone, and we’ve done another Willow & Wild box! These boxes are so much fun to do. I wasn’t sure how they’d fare in the winter months, as many of them encourage going out and about to find items, but even in the wintertime they have come up with some great crafts and activities. This month, as you can imagine, many of the activities were themed around Christmas! We took our time going through our box and, once again, I’m here to talk about the highlights.
