AD | Gifted item For the past couple of months most of us haven’t been going out as much. Shops have been shut until recently and we have been looking to shopping online more to get the things we need. Something that I thought about recently was being able to purchase gifts for people who we might not be able to see in person. Shopping online is ideal for this as it means you can get the gift delivered direct to the recipient. We posted about men’s gifts a couple of weeks ago but today
AD | Includes gifted item and affiliate links (marked with *) We live in a small town with only a few shops, the biggest probably being Sainsbury’s. We’re a non-driving family too so popping to our nearest city (Norwich) isn’t that easy, unless we want to get a train or bus, which isn’t ideal at the minute. With John’s birthday coming up soon it got me thinking about the different gifts you can buy online and I wanted to share some ideas with you. buyagift is a site we have used so many times over
AD | Includes gifted item and affiliate links (marked with *) Father’s Day is just over a week away now but there’s plenty of time to order a gift online! With everything going on at the minute it’s not really possible to go our shopping for Father’s Day like we would usually. Erin can’t come out with me and pick something for her Dad but what we can do is find something online together and talk about what he might like. I know that this is going to be the case for a lot of
AD | Contains gifted items Mother’s Day is a pretty big deal in our house. Not because I’ve made a big thing of it but Erin loves getting excited about ‘Mummy’s Day’. Of course, the hand drawn cards and strange breakfast in beds are wonderful are what memories are made of, we still buy gifts and there are other mums to think about as well. Hopefully you find some inspiration in these Mother’s Day gift ideas. The first thing to think about when it comes to Mother’s Day is making sure you have a card!
AD | Gifted item When we think of Mother’s Day sometimes I think we put a lot of focus on parents with younger children. For years I lived really far away from my Mum so unless we were making a trip to see each other I would have to send her something in the post for Mother’s Day. These kinds of gifts can get a bit samey though and I get bored of sending something unoriginal and impersonal. This year, I discovered Morse Toad and one of their wonderful products, the Chocolate Memory Box. Instead of
AD | Contains gifted items and affiliate links (marked with *) Although we love to buy Erin toys for Christmas we also like to make sure that we do a mix of fun, educational and creative. We’re quite big on crafts and painting etc. so I thought a list of creative Christmas gift ideas for under 5s would help out other families just like us. Erin loves getting her own letters in the post and if your child is the same then a Banjo Robinson subscription is definitely worth looking into. Banjo sends letters to
AD | Gifted items When it comes to buying birthday presents, the early years seemed so incredibly easy and I miss being able to buy whatever I liked the look of for Erin. Now though, she’ll be 4 on her next birthday and it’s an entirely different story. Erin likes completely different things than she did 6 months ago and she’s now starting to point out things that she likes and is a lot more receptive to the power of advertising. I’ve put together a post with some gift ideas for a 4 year old.
AD | Gifted items When it comes to occasions like Christmas or birthdays shopping online might seem like the most convenient way to buy gifts. For me though, nothing beats heading into the city and browsing in real shops. Online shopping doesn’t have the same feeling or result as a lot of the time you only search for things you know you already want. intu Chapelfield armed me with a gift card and challenged me to do some shopping with them to find John some great gifts for Father’s Day! I decided to have a
