Christmas at the Stormont Hotel
Christmas at the Stormont Hotel really is something to shout about! I had the most wonderful visit Sunday past to one of their Santa Sunday Buffet Dinners and wow! – this has been instigated as a family tradition from this year onwards – by both the kids and hubby!

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.

Hank Change and Chat Toy, Finding Dory
The Hank Change and Chat Toy from Finding Dory is very unusual – I love it! I adored the film as well, it’s such a great family movie and lived up to it’s reputation as a great sequel to Finding Nemo.
Hank the octopus can be placed on different coloured surfaces and he will change to the same colour as that particular surface. As an added bonus and thrill for the kids, he speaks several phrases from the film as well!
- Talking character toy
- Hank from Finding Dory
- Recites phrases at the push of a button
- Lights up to match certain colours
- Includes a colour wheel
- H10 x W18 x L22cm approx
- Suitable for children aged 3 years+
My little niece would love this for Christmas. I took her to see Finding Dory and she loved watching the antics of this octopus.
Its great value for only £30.95.
Available from all good toy shops in stores and online.

The Lion Guard Defend The Pride Lands Set
The Disney Store is one of my children’s favourite shops. Our nearest store is Belfast and we never visit without the kids having a look around and getting a few little gifts. Despite getting older, they still love Disney and each of them have Disney items on their Christmas lists this year again – even my 13 year old.
My son loved The Lion King and he is also crazy about the sequel – The Lion Guard. He has this fab set picked out for Christmas.
