Glowing Fun with LED Light Up Gloves

[Ad- Gifted Product] It’s wintertime, there is a chill in the air, so you probably have considered picking up some gloves for your little one’s hands. Gloves come in so many different designs, with so many different colors! As we continued to think about the types of gloves we wanted to have this year, a really cool type of glove came up. LED Light Up Gloves provide not only a warm glove to keep your hands from getting frosty, but also act as a toy for children who want to play around in the dark.

MEL Science – Luminescence | Review

[Ad- gifted product] As any regular readers will know, we’re happy to dip into a science-themed subscription box here. We’ve, most recently, just wrapped up the KiwiCo Tinker Crate, and so it makes perfect sense that we turn our gaze toward MEL Science, specifically their MEL Physics range; a kit aimed at a slightly older audience and specifically focused on decrypting scientific jargon into an accessible educational package. The first month we grabbed was based around Luminescence, and it was a fantastic example of MEL Physics’ boxes at their purest.

We ran into the MEL Science team earlier on in the year, while at an event. I was drawn to the stand by how professional each of the boxes on display looked. They had a simple, clear design, with one or two objects on the front, but a simple title down the spine. Each box was a single stark colour, giving them the look of classic school textbooks. The staff manning the stand gave us some simple demonstrations of accessible science but also introduced us to the App and the VR/AR elements that go hand in hand with their subscription.

Purchasing Second Hand with BuyCharity

[Ad- gifted product] Often, I dive in and out of charity shops to find some second hand items that I need for my home. Clothing, home wear, furniture – all of that purchased second hand not only saves me money, but is much better for the world. Ensuring that items are used to the fullest is something that we always try to do in our household, and second hand clothing is something that is just so easy to do. When the pandemic hit the UK, I missed charity shops loads.

My Friend Peppa Pig – Children’s Video Game | Review

[Ad- gifted product] It is no secret that we are big fans of video games in our household. As both Dann and I work in video games as apart of our day job, we always have quite a few games and game systems dotted around our home. Robin, due to her age, doesn’t have that many video games in our household as there just simply isn’t that many made for her – but when she does find one she likes, she can rarely put it down! My Friend Peppa Pig is a new addition to the collection!

Ordering a Letter from Santa, from the Lapland Mailroom

[Ad- gifted experience] Christmas is such a magical time of year! There is always a big feeling of magic in the air, from the moment snow starts to fall from the sky to the first mention of Santa Claus. Lapland has the option to get a letter from Santa mailed to your home, which can really make the concept of Santa more magical and realistic to those who are young and old.

Lapland offers four different personalised letters from Santa (or Father Christmas, if you choose to call him that!) These letters are all a bit different, one of them being designed for a baby’s first ever Christmas and the other three being different variations of a letter from Santa, so that you can get one for each of your multiple children, yet they all won’t be exactly the same. All of these letters are upbeat and cheerful, reminding your child that Christmas is right around the corner, one thanking them for sending a letter to Santa before now, and all of them talking about your child being on the nice list this year.
