Best Non-Chocolate Advent Calendars for 2024

Best Non-Chocolate Advent Calendars for 2024

Posted on by Dann Sullivan

[Ad- gifted products – Updated on November 9th, 2024 with this years Advent Calenders] If you’re like us, you’re not the biggest fan of chocolates. We don’t really need one every single day of December, and would very much rather have any other candy or even small items as my surprise. In America, we don’t really do advent calendars, so Jupiter didn’t really think there was a huge variety when she came to England – but it turns out there is! We have picked out our advent calendars for this year, after a bunch of research, and will be telling you about them as well as a few bonus ones that we though were so cool!

 Level up your cooking with All Things Butter 

 Level up your cooking with All Things Butter 

Posted on by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted products] When it comes to elevating your cooking, this can easily be done through seasoning or adding a little something different to your cooking. All Things Butter do a range of flavored butters – butters with other things added into it, which can change the taste and flavor of the dishes that you are making. We got the chance to try two of the different flavors, Garlic & Herb and Chili. Obviously these are butters, so you can use them in anything that you would normally put butter into. All Things Butter are committed to British farming, with their farm set in Somerset, traditionally batch churning and hand salting the butter itself, making it a gourmet butter.

Lizi's Granola - Perfect for Crumbles

Lizi’s Granola – Perfect for Crumbles

Posted on by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted products] When it comes to granola, we often eat them as parfaits with yogurt, a staple easy breakfast for our household. There are actually a lot of different granolas on the market; some with fruit pieces, some with seeds, some that are quite plain in flavor too. Lizi’s Low Sugar Nuts & Seeds Granola is an actually a pretty fun granola, despite saying low in sugar, with a bunch of seeds and nuts throughout it. Robin had a fun time picking out the different seeds and trying them individually, as she hadn’t had seeds before! We also tried their Maple and Pecan, which has my favorite nuts in them and a nice amount of sweetness.

Lots of Tapas at Novo Lounge

Lots of Tapas at Novo Lounge

Posted on by Jupiter

Dann and I actually went to Novo Lounge when it first launched, taking our children with us. We ended up having a bit of a chaotic time, particularly due to some picky eaters who weren’t really sure what they were ordering before it arrived. We’ve been back a few times to grab drinks during their happy hour, but decided to try them out again for dinner, with a friend of ours, after an evening of playing Pokemon Go. Novo Lounge has a lot of community activities going on; drag bingo, board game nights, and on this particular night there was salsa practice happening! It’s great to see a venue become such a staple in the community and fun that they run so many events.

Windy Knickers - Silly Children's Toy

Windy Knickers – Silly Children’s Toy

Posted on by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted product] When it comes to silly toys, we have tried our fair share. However, Windy Knickers is probably the silliest we have seen in a while! It takes a really average, every day concept of hanging up laundry and makes it into a fun, spinning around, silly little game. The gameplay itself and set up is extremely easy and if your children are anything like ours, they’ll end up finding other ways to have fun with the toy as well.
