(Ad – Review) To celebrate the launch of their new Ice Cream Tasting Gift Box, Oppo sent us a selection of their low calorie ice cream tubs to try out. I know, low calorie ice cream seems to good to be true… or at least low calorie ice cream that actually tastes good enough to eat does! However, I have done some in-depth testing of these tubs and can assure you they are all absolutely delicious. I have to admit, I was pretty gobsmacked by how good they are.
Ad – Review. We were sent two of the Ion8 reusable water bottles to try out, and so far I am really pleased with them both. They promise to be leakproof which, as any parent of a schoolchild knows, is the holy grail when it comes to water bottles! The amount of times the girls have come home with school with damp books and cardigans because their water bottle has leaked in their bag makes me shudder – hopefully, that can be a thing of the past now.
(Ad – Review) With four of us at home all day every day at the moment, there are a lot of drinks being consumed each day – and all of us enjoy drinking cold water, especially when it has been filtered. We were offered the lumi Chiller to review to help keep us all hydrated, which is especially important right now.
We were sent a selection of delicious Swizzels products to review from their Valentine’s Day range, and the whole family have been more than happy to help me test (aka devour) these products!
Teachers gifts are one of the unwritten rules of being a parent – a little something to give your child’s teacher at the end of the school year, to thank them for being there for your child for the past year. Zac and Lily sent me a few of their Cookie Mix gifts – one to pass on to Georgie’s beloved teacher, and another to bake so we could try out the mix.
The Classic Car Show biscuit tin is a “Family tin” containing 16 or more biscuits, decorated with a classic car theme. The tin we were sent to review contained 16 biscuits all brilliantly decorated with pictures of cars, key fobs, speedometers, and steering wheels.
Swizzels Matlow sent us a few items from their Valentine’s Day Love Hearts range to review, and they would both make a lovely sweet little gift for that special someone. It’s only a few weeks until the day of romance, and these gifts are fun and affordable.
James and I celebrated 7 years of marriage a week or so ago, and I recently got sent an Anniversary Chopping Board by Burn Me On to review which is absolutely lovely. The board is engraved with our names “Mr and Mrs Corkhill” along with our wedding date.
We were sent three sets from the Annabel Karmel Casdon baking range; the Pizza Making Set (£4.50 at Tesco Direct), the My Perfect Pastry Set (£20 at Amazon), and the Mini Cupcake Set with Utensils (£11.49 at Amazon).
This fab Pastry Set is jam-packed – you get a lot for your money! 10 cookie cutters, a mixing bowl, a round baking tin, a whisk, a set of 6 measuring spoons, a rolling pin, a spatula, a mini tart pan, a measuring jug, and 10 recipes. The cookie cutters are a little small but everything else is fantastic.
I was offered a hamper to review by the lovely folks at Serenata, and so of course I said “yes please” – who doesn’t love a box of treats arriving at your door? When you are running low on gift ideas for a special birthday or event, a hamper is an excellent way to spoil someone you love. We let Serenata know what sorts of things we liked and asked to be surprised, and they chose to send us the Simplicity hamper, which costs £39.99.
