Foil Fun Up in Space Set – Great Screen-free Activity

[Ad- gifted product] Having a few screen-free activities in your bag, especially during the summer holidays, is always a must! When we go on holiday, we always pack a few things for Robin to do in the morning, before her teenage siblings get up, as she doesn’t have a working phone and has limited screentime on WIFI. One thing she really seemed to enjoy was the Foil Fun Up in Space Kit, which is sort of like a sticker arts and crafts kit, giving a lot of different foils, stickers and even backgrounds all with a space theme. They do have tons of different kits from Disney to Animals to Unicorns, so there is a good variety to choose from.

Stellar Restaurant Ephemera – A Space Food Experience

While in Paris for Go Fest Global, a Pokemon Go event, our friends Molly and Husky recommended a restaurant that they felt Dann and I would really love; Stellar Restaurant – Ephemera. Ephemera have a bunch of different, themed restaurant experiences, and Stellar is their space-themed place to eat. As we love experiences and we love trying new food, this felt like such a great recommendation and I am so glad we went along! You do need to book ahead, online, and when you show up you get to walk through a bunch of well-decorated areas to get to your seat. The walls themselves have space-themed atmospheres being projected, and there is a mystical, calm music playing. The ceiling is covered in planet decorations and mood lighting. It’s got some great vibes! But, let’s get into the food.

Trying the Little Big Flavour Kits Pineapple Curry

[Ad- gifted product] When it comes to trying new foods, often these types of easy-to-use kits are a great introduction! I had not ever heard of a pineapple, meat-free curry, but was very excited to try the Little Big Flavours Kits Pineapple Curry. We took this kit on holiday with us to Center Parcs Elveden, as it only takes a few ingredients and creates a lot of easy, delicious food. It felt like the perfect little kit to have in our cabin, ready for a meal in. We’ve tried Little Big Flavour Kits before, so this felt like a great thing to have in our bag. If this or any of their kits is something you want to try, you can get 15% off until the end of September by using code JUPITER15 on their website.

Fancy Dinner at El Brellin

Dann and I wanted to go to a more fancy dinner while in Milan, and what better place than along the river in Vicolo dei Lavandai! There was tons of night life in the area, lots of different restaurants, but we walked along until we saw El Brellin tucked away, with upscale Italian food. Previously, this building was an old grocery store, where women who washed clothing would grab supplies. The layout hasn’t changed much, still showcasing the 1700s fireplace and coffered ceilings. We were excited to try the menu after seeing some of the selection. They have an ever changing menu, so I cannot find an accurate menu of what we had, so these names may have changed.

SnackMagic – Gifting Lots of Snacks

[Ad- gifted products] I feel that hampers are one of the best types of gifts to get, especially if the hamper has items in it that you’d use and eat. SnackMagic is an interesting way of giving gifts, as you would set your budget, then gift the ability for your friend to pick which hamper they’d like to receive. I selected the Taste of America snack box, though there was an American chocolate bar specific box, along with a large number of other snack boxes, pampering boxes, and so much more. It actually took a while for me to choose, but I felt this box would give me some nostalgia and also allow me to share some unique items with our children.
