The Internet Gift Store

I recently came across the Internet Gift Store whilst browsing online and honestly, i expected it to be another of those 'all-round' websites that all seem to stock the same kind of thing..

I was very much mistaken i'm glad to say!

They have such a wide array of gifts suitable for everyone imaginable!

They've also got Free UK Delivery until the end of October - so only 2 days left!

My Christmas Stocking Filler List - Sale

For my Niece i have picked out these 2 Hello Kitty Pink Hi-Ball Tumblers that have been reduced to only £1.99!!

For my Sister i have picked out this Large Overnight Bag that will definitely make her laugh! It's definitely big enough for her weekend's away and it being pink just makes it a winner! This is also in the sale for an amazing £2.99!

For my Dad (who is usually incredibly difficult to buy for) i picked out i thought these Personalised Socks were perfect!

These are only £1.99!

For my Mom i have picked out this sweet little photo frame! It made me giggle and it will be a lovely present once a personal photo has been placed inside and something she can display in her room for her to look at to her heart's content: for only £2.99 too!

And lastly for my Boyfriend i picked out this Desk Space Shuttle that he can play with at work when he's bored! And for only £4.99 it's such a cute little item!

Walkers Mighty Lights review!

I was lucky enough to be contacted by Walkers recently and when they asked if I’d like to try their new range of snacks – I couldn’t say Yes quick enough!

The new range is called Mighty Lights! It’s fun, catchy and easy to remember too!

When the box landed on the doorstep we couldn’t wait to open it up and take a peek inside.. I was excited to see that we’d been sent 3 lots of six-pack multipacks of the crisps! One in each flavour and we just couldn’t wait to dig in! Even the dog didn’t look like he could resist! (Although he wasn’t allowed to try any)

The packets are brightly coloured and instantly recognisable as Walkers. The bright colours, bold lettering and simple design.. they have even included a potato man pulling silly faces too!

Walkers have always been a family favourite within our house and these definitely didn’t disappoint. The flavours we were sent were: Lightly Salted, Roast Chicken and Cheese & Onion. I automatically went for the Lightly Salted first as I’m not usually a big fan of the other 2 flavours. I naively presumed as they were lightly salted that they wouldn’t have much flavour – I was completely wrong! The saltiness of the crisps was just the right amount to tickle your taste-buds, they are quite filling too which I thought was brilliant.

I was also surprised by the flavours of the other two. The Cheese & Onion had quite a natural full-of-flavour taste without being too strong which is the thing I don’t usually like about them. Although having said that, Sonic loves Cheese & Onion crisps and he absolutely loved these too so it’s obviously the best of both! The kids also loved them! I have Natalia asking for them to put into her lunchbox when she starts school again this week and she’s made it clear to me that she’s going t tell all her friends ‘how amazing they are so they will buy them too!’

The chicken flavour was a pretty strange sensation for me as I actually thought they tasted a bit like proper chicken! That may sound strange but when compared to other brands I could tell they just didn’t taste as artificial and I could relate them to Sunday dinner – well almost!

Walkers have this to say about their new product: ‘With 30% less fat than standard crisps, Mighty Lights are perfect for kids' lunchboxes. They are tasty, ridged crisps that come in three flavours - roast chicken, cheese and onion and lightly salted. All the flavours are suitable for vegetarians, and are available in shops nationwide. They're made from real potatoes with no artificial colours of preservatives-  and they're a source of fibre’. To find out more information, visit this link for Mighty Lights.

For me personally, these pretty much sum up the perfect crisps for our household and all the family! Perfect for kids lunchboxes, great as a light guilt-free snack, suitable for vegetarians and with no artificial colours or preservatives you can’t really argue that they are suitable for those of any age! I think it’s absolutely fabulous that Walkers have made a product lower in fat and with a more healthy attitude that is perfect for children as I would definitely say that it’s what a large amount of parents want!

What I love about them is that you can really taste the potatoes in them – I know that may sound strange, but I think you can taste just how natural they are and it is so much more satisfying to munch on a bag of crisps with a natural snap! I will definitely be buying these again – as you can see, they’ve all disappeared because we loved them so much!

My New Business!

So the past couple of weeks has been a very exciting time for me as i have been re-living my love of baking and after doing a stall at quite a big event last weekend i have realised that i now feel strong enough to 'set up on my own'.

So after the stall totally selling out of 120 cupcakes at the event last weekend, i realised just how passionate i am about baking and that i would happily bake for 7 hours a day if i had to! Normal office hours could be happily spent in my kitchen producing cakes and bakes!

My last post indicated that we were under a different name but now because of some personal reasons, i have changed the name and have myself booked into some fairs around Staffordshire & the West Midlands too!

So introducing..

The Baking Dame

Right now, i feel that i can offer for order:

• Cupcakes in multiples of 6 or 12 with a theme of your choice - boxed
• (these can be flavoured if desired)
• Lemon & Lime Drizzle Loaves with seasonal decoration
• Coffee & walnut cake
• Cookie Gift Jars filled with Gooey Rolo Cookies (medium or large)

All items can be boxed and gift wrapped with a colour scheme or your choosing!

Please have a look at and Like my Facebook page here.

More images will be added over the next week or so, so keep  an eye out!

All contact details are available on there and any queries - please just ask!

Sorry I've been away!

I'd just like to take the time to say sorry for my lack of blog posts over the past couple of weeks as i've been indulging in my love of baking!

Introduing...

Vintage Fair Stall

I'm excited to say that i will be making a Facebook page, am starting to enquire into having stalls at events and feel i have reached the stage where i can take customer orders for themed cupcakes, birthday cakes/cupcakes and cookie gifts too!

You will soon be able to view pictures of all of my cupcakes from the weekend's event and my gift cookie jars (they do come gift wrapped!) and if you'd be interested in placing an order or have any queries please do contact me! I don't bite!

I'm so excited to be indulging in my passion and am excited to see where it leads!

Also if you know of any gift/craft fairs going on within the West Midlands/Staffordshire please let me know!
