[Ad- gifted product] Times have really changed when it comes to makeup! When I was a kid, my grandmother would never let us put on so much as lipstick when it came to wearing makeup. Everyone seemed to feel that it made children grow up faster or had a negative effect on them. Now-a-days, however, make up is seen as a way to play, express yourself, and look fancy. There are plenty of different children’s make up brands out there – with make up that won’t stain everything and is easy to take off – making the entire process so much easier.

[Ad- gifted product] When it comes to puzzles, we seem to be doing more and more in our household! These 3D puzzle models have peaked the kids interest since I brought back a few packs from Spain well over a year ago, as a little gift from abroad. In more recent times, we have come to find that there are quite complex 3D puzzles and EUGY create a bunch of them – from animals that you’d recognise to mythical creatures like mermaids and unicorns – they have a puzzle for literally anyone. We took a look at the Meerkat Model, which creates a daddy and baby meerkat.

[Ad- gifted product] As you might well know, both Jupiter and I work in video games. As such there are tons and tons of games and gaming equipment littering the house. If you’re a fan of games then I’m sure you can imagine how exciting this is for children, but there is a bit of an issue which is that, especially for Robin the youngest, a lot of these games are either too complex or not appropriate for her. She often tries to play games that are a bit too advanced for her, dying to creepers in Minecraft and getting a bit frustrated when she doesn’t know where to go in Spyro. This inspired us to find some games that would be better suited for her. Our first stop was PAW Patrol: On a Roll! She really enjoyed this game, being a huge fan of PAW Patrol, and with PAW Patrol: Mighty Pups Save Adventure Bay out, we figured we’d take a look at that too.

[Ad- gifted product] Robin is a really big fan of Peppa Pig. She enjoys watching the show on Netflix and we’ve also got a couple of toys – she even used to have Peppa Pig bedding. Earlier in this year, we reviewed the My Fairy Garden Fairy Garden set, which did belong to Amelia, but Robin really loved helping out with it and really wanted to be involved. She’d keep going out to check on how the grass was growing and would play with the little characters that came with it. Ever since then, we’ve been growing plants and such through some of the nature box subscriptions we do, and she has really enjoyed watching flowers grow, and planting stuff together. When we came across the Peppa Pig Grow and Play Pot, we were excited to see what Robin would make of having her own little garden set.

[Ad- gifted product] It’s toy review time in the run up to Christmas, which allows us the opportunity to take a look at new and exciting toys for this year! Amelia has been really into painting her nails this year – enjoying trying out different nail polish, stickers, and more. When thinking about the best gifts for younger ones who want to try out makeup, FabLab Nail Art Deluxe kit seems like such a good fit, so when offered the chance to try it out for free, we gave it a shot.
