LeapPad Platinum
I have honestly and intently scoured the shops and internet for a tablet for my 7 year old son. I have read all about every tablet on the market and discussed the pros and cons with hubby. There was only one choice for us and the decision was simply – even though the research took days! It you are looking for a tablet for kids as well this Christmas the choice is easy – choose the LeapPad Platinum!
The LeapPad Platinum is a fab product from Leapfrog. We have had Leapfrog items in the house from the kids came along and they have proved to us that they stand the test of time very well. Read More

Venturer 2 in 1 Mini Windows Notebook
So, your 13 year old wants a laptop for Christmas and you are thinking ‘OK, a trip to the bank and re-mortgage??’ Never fear, I have investigated and even with re-mortgaging, we couldn’t afford to buy our daughter a laptop – because I want one myself!!
Advertised as the perfect tech gift for both secondary school kids and students, the new and fantastic Venturer 2 in 1 Mini Windows Notebook is pretty impressive. My daughter has had some fun trying this out out and she loves the ‘set up’. She would be used to an iPad and found using the BravoWin S 10KR Venturer 2 in 1 Mini Windows laptop much easier and simpler. She has used it for everything from homework to simply watching You Tube videos.
The 2 in 1 function has not been used that much as my daughter says the size is so handy and lightweight that its very easy to use as a lap-top and a tablet with both compartments staying attached.
Some technical data which may be of interest:
Intel Atom Core 4 Processor
2 GB RAM
32 GB Memory
Dual Cameras
HDMI/USB/Headphone output/SD Card Slot etc.
10″ Display
Office Mobile Software – Word, Excel, Powerpoint, OneNote etc
Passed a 1.2 Metre Drop
Lightweight and up to 8 hrs Battery life.
So, impressive, isn’t it. I love the tech data but the important stuff like the ‘drop test’ is just as vital!
The BravoWin S 10KR Venturer 2 in 1 Mini Windows laptop is available from Amazon and costs a mere £149.99 – now, comparing that to the price of some of the lap-tops we had been looking at previously its a ‘no brainer’ of a decision now!
It would seem to me that you can have the same functions and speeds for a fraction of the price. To buy windows 10 from Microsoft is about £99 and this is incorporated within this tablet/lap-top!!! This addition alone makes the Venturer simply amazing value!
I have searched high and low and quizzed my daughter until she screamed at me – ‘ Get out mum, there is no bad points to this and its mine!!!’ I had been pestering her as I think everything has a down side to it if you look hard enough so if you buy this and find a negative aspect let me know! As far as I am concerned we love it and I wouldn’t be surprised if Santa squeezes down our chimney with more than one of these this Christmas!
Purchase from Amazon here: www.amazon.co.uk and you can have this tomorrow if you opt for next day delivery.

Revell Control Junior
The Revell Control Junior range have so many items to pick from this Christmas for younger kids. This super crash car is recommended for children from the ages of three years and upwards. So many remote control items on the market suit older children so Revell fill quite a gap in the market with this cute little addition!

Stellar Slow Juicer
Stellar Slow Juicer is the ‘coolest’ juicer I have yet to review. It simply ticked all the boxes for me and we love it. My daughter is 13yrs and a very active girl. She trains daily and would be very aware of what she eats and how to look after her body. She has never been as ‘taken’ with any kitchen gadget as she is with this Stellar slow juicer.

MiVue 688
- The MIVue 688 is the best invention since ‘sliced bread’ says hubby and its the perfect device for me! I consider myself a careful driver but I am rather unlucky and have had a couple of accidents where, thankfully, the other driver admitted liability but what if they had not? Its very hard to prove who is at fault if both drivers say neither of them are! This is where the MiVue 688 is a lifesaver!
