Choc on Choc ‘5-A-Day’
I have been ‘eyeing up’ Choc on Choc for ages and every time I am near my local Lakeland shop I pop in to see if they have any new chocolate treats in store from this amazing company. The Christmas selection was superb as usual and I would have had difficulty selecting a favourite. From a little Igloo with chocolate penguins to a neat little carton of chocolate brussels sprouts, how could I possible choose? Now that Christmas has passed, they have even a ‘post Christmas’ chocolate range – how cute is this selection of ‘5-A-Day’ to get you in the mood for some healthy eating?

Nerf MEGA Mastodon Blaster
The Nerf MEGA Mastodon Blaster is one MEAN machine. My 8yr old son has an addiction to Nerf guns – however, the more mums I talk to, it seams this is quite a ‘catching’ addiction and it can even spread to certain ‘dads’ if they are not careful!

Thule Atmos X3 for iPhone
The Thule Atmos X3 is a pretty tough phone case for £15. I have a poor reputation for taking care of my iPhone so a good reliable cover is essential. As per my husband, it never leaves my left hand and he is right! I love my phone and use it to keep in touch with my family and friends regularly so I need it to be well protected. The Thule Atmos X3 serves its purpose pretty well.

Judge Electric Carving Knife
I am married 14 years and we have been using the same electric knife we received as a wedding gift. This knife still works and there is nothing wrong with it – it’s just not ‘cool’! You can imaging how delighted I was to have been selected to try one of the new Judge Electric Carving Knives – this is much smaller, therefore easier stored, handier to use, very good at it’s job and very very trendy looking.
Unlike most electric carving knives, this comes with one set of blades strong enough for all tasks – even for frozen foods. These blades slide into place easily and come away at the touch of a button. They are extremely sharp and make the knife a pleasure to use.
Sunday roasts are sliced in no time at all and the blades cut with perfect precision. I find I can slice the meat much thinner than I could with previous knife and this goes for the long thin sticks of pepperoni my daughter loves as well. I have used it for so much. I have a very good bread knife but I have also started slicing my loves with the Judge electric knife now as well simply as its faster and cuts beautiful even slices.
Judge covers this product for 2 years and for £29.40 its excellent value for money indeed – a perfect Christmas gift all round!

Personalised Notebooks from Urban Cottage Industries
Urban Cottage Industries is a site well worth checking out this year if you are becoming a little ‘stuck’ with your Christmas shopping. They sell a selection of light bulbs, cage lights, factory lights and shades that you won’t see anywhere else along with a variety of notebooks that would impress Princess Kate herself!
I have a few of the notebooks put away for some very special people this Christmas – I was almost going to write ‘wrapped up’ but no, with these they come beautifully wrapped for you so all you have to do is simply ‘give’ and bring a wonderful smile to someone’s face. These notebooks are really very special. Personalise yours with whatever you want that suits the receiver.
You can make these super special like the one above or simple personalise it with a name – these would be fantastic for teachers and as they start at only £15.00 they would also be super secret Santa gifts.
Have a look at www.urbancottageindustries.com for your inspiration and I am certain you will find it hard not to purchase at least a couple of them!

IBIS Hotel Belfast City Centre
The Ibis Belfast City Centre was a bit of a surprise to me. I was expecting a ‘budget experience’ as the IBIS Hotel is rather low in price but that was not what I found. This hotel is located in the heart of the thriving city of Belfast directly behind the Castle Court shopping centre.

Socker Boppers
Socker Boppers are a great way of keeping your kids entertained without batteries or a screen in sight! My son and daughter play with these together and, for once, I need not worry that one will hurt the other in a play fight.
