Chummys Bakery Postal Brownie Delivery Review

 AD - Review Item. 

Brownies are a little bit delicious and everyone in our house loves them, so when Chummys Bakery offered to send us a box in the post of course I agreed. Who could say no to a box of brownies? 

We were sent the postal box containing six of the best selling Brownies, flavours are Lotus Biscuit, Nutella, Salted caramel, Triple chocolate, Kinder Bueno and Ferrero Rocher. They also offer different brownie boxes where you can select your own flavours, cookies, blondies and rocky road bakes. 

Hoover H-Free 500 Pet Cordless Vacuum Cleaner Review

AD Review Product 

As a family of five with two dogs and a pet cat in the house, I feel like I am forever having to vacuum and sweep the floors and sofas for crumbs, hairs, and astroturf (if you have a child who plays football you will know what I'm talking about). We have a mix of wooden flooring, tiles and carpets in our home, and despite only being two years old our current vacuum cleaner is just not up to the job and I am always left feeling that the floors are never properly clean. 

So when I was offered to review the Hoover H-Free 500 Cordless Pet Vacuum Cleaner I obviously agreed. Hoover is such a well-known brand that people even use it when referring to other brands of vacuum cleaners, I bet we have all heard people saying "I'm just going to hoover the floors". My dad has a Hoover vacuum that he has had for about 20 years and it is still going strong now, which just proves what good quality products they are.  

Paw Patrol The Movie: Adventure City Calls Video Game Review

 AD 

I am sure everyone is familiar with Paw Patrol the team of pups who have super powers and who save adventure bay from Mayor Humdinger and his crew of sneaky kittens. The Paw Patrol gang is made up of human Ryder who is in charge of the lookout tower which houses Chase, Marshall, Zoomer, Rocky, Skye and Rubble the super pups and sometimes features their friends Everest the snow pup and Tracker the jungle pup. 

Race With Ryan Road Trip Deluxe Edition Switch Game Review

AD

If you are a parent to primary school-aged children then I am sure you are aware of Ryan's World. Ryan is an American child YouTube star who is loved by children around the world. His Ryan World, Ryan Toy Reviews and spin-off channels the kaji family, The Studio Space, Combo Panda and Gus the Gummy Gator have millions of subscribers and billions of views. The channels feature 9-year-old Ryan Kaji, his parents and younger twin sisters along with his animation characters Combo, Gus and friends. 

My children are huge Ryan's World fans, they have been watching Ryan's YouTube channel for years and more recently his T.V show on Nickelodeon. They have some of his toy's  - the giant mystery eggs were huge hits in this household the past two Christmases. It is safe to say he has been a firm favourite for the past few years and kids seem to find his videos so entertaining and love his toys and games. 

So when we were offered to review the Race with Ryan Road Trip deluxe game edition for the switch I knew that my children would enjoy it. My son actually asked for the game last Christmas but it was sold out in Smyths - it was that popular! 

Paw Patrol Mighty Pups Save Adventure Bay Game Review

 AD 

Paw Patrol has been a favourite in our household for about 4 or 5 years now, back when it launched my now 7-year-old was obsessed with it. At one point I think we had seen every episode of the show, we had all of the toys and we even went to see it live at the arena. We knew all about Skye, Marshall, Chase, Zoomer, Rubble, Rocky, Everest, Tracker and of course Ryder and all the residents of Adventure Bay. 

As my children have grown (they are now 6 and 7) they are not into Paw Patrol as much as they used to be but they do still have a soft spot for the show and remember all the characters fondly. 

Playmobil Scooby Doo Toy Review

AD - Review Items 

 My children aged 5 and 7 adore Scooby-Doo and will often watch it on T.V as it is one of their favourite shows. So when I heard about the new Playmobil Scooby Doo range I knew this would be something that both of them would enjoy playing with.

 We were kindly sent some of the new toys to try out and see what they both thought. The new range of Scooby-Doo toys are to coincide with the release of the latest Scooby-Doo film, which will be premiering at home and I am sure my children will ask to watch. 

Playmobil sent us three toys from the range. We were sent the Mystery Machine, a set with Scooby, Shaggy and a Ghost and four mystery figure blind bags.  

Gigantosaurus Nintendo Switch Game Review

AD - Paid Post. 

For Christmas, my five-year-old son got a Nintendo Switch and plays on it for an hour most days, especially now that we are home during the pandemic. He currently only has two Mario games for his switch so when we were offered to review the new Gigantosaurus game (which is released next week) I knew he would be happy.

 Gigantosaurus is based on the Disney jr animated series of the same name, which is super popular with dino mad children. The game is available on the Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, PS4 and PC and you can download the game to your device, perfect when we are all at home. 

Snapstar Dolls Review

AD - Review Items 

My six-year-old daughter adores playing with her dolls, she likes fashion dolls and spends hours changing their clothes, making up imaginative games with them and playing happily on her own or with her friends. Now there is a new fashion doll in town for children to play with called Snapstar dolls, a squad of six 'influencer dolls' with their own app - yep really. 

There are six Snapstar dolls to collect and each doll looks different and likes different things such as music, make-up, travelling, animals, fashion and crafts. The dolls are a similar size to other fashion dolls and they have moveable limbs and look really appealing for children with lovely sparkly eyes and nice outfits. 

Hape Teepee Review

AD - Review Item. 

 Hape recently got in touch and asked if we would like to review one of their teepees I knew the children would have lots of fun and really enjoy testing it out. As making little dens is always fun for kids. 

I had seen photos of the teepee online and it looked really sturdy and the perfect size for my 4 and 5-year-olds to play in together. When it arrived in a rather small storage bag I initially thought there must be some kind of mistake as it looked a lot smaller then I imagined and I was dreading putting the teepee up as I thought it would be in lots of little pieces. However, I was proved wrong on both counts as it was super quick and easy to set the teepee up and it was a lot bigger then it looked in the bag. 

Spirit Riding Free Toy Collection Review

AD - Review Items. 

My 5-year-old daughter dreams of owning her own pony someday. So she watches Spirit Riding Free on Netflix, a TV show about a young girl called Lucky and her horse Spirit. So when I found out that there was a range of Spirit Riding Free toys by Flair I knew these would be a big hit with fans of the show. 

We were sent some of the toys to review, so read on to see what we thought. 

Village Hotel Spa Day With Red Letter Days

AD - Review 

This morning I went to The Village Hotel Newcastle (Silverlink) to relax on a Spa day thanks to Red Letter Days who give me a voucher for the occasion. Red Letter Days have a whole host of different vouchers available for different experiences making them the perfect gift idea - they would make a great Mothers Day gift.

 To redeem the gift experience voucher you simply register your voucher online, you will then be giving a phone number of your chosen venue to ring and book and then you hand the voucher in on the day. It was really straightforward to book and as I had been given  Blissful Spa Day for two voucher there was a number of different spas I could book into all over the country. I decided on The Village Hotel Spa as it was local. 

Arriving at the Village Hotel for 9am we arrived at reception and were directed to the spa area which is downstairs near the gym. We were showing to the relaxation room which had dimmed lights, comfy chairs and was very peaceful and we were asked to fill in some forms.

Boxy Girls Dolls & Fashion Pack Review

AD - Review Items. 

My five-year-old daughter is really into surprise toys, she loves the surprise element of opening things up and discovering what is inside. So when I heard about Boxy Girls which are fashion dolls that come with surprise boxes of accessories I knew these would be of interest to her. 

We were kindly sent Riley and Brooklyn dolls (£17.99 each) plus a Fashion pack (£9.99), there are also two other dolls to collect called Nomi and Willa.

 Boxy Girls are rather cute dolls, they look childlike with big heads and huge box-shaped eyes, long brush-able hair and fully moveable arms and legs.  Each doll comes with four small surprise boxes which contain accessories. 

L.O.L. Surprise Pop-Up Store Playset Review

AD - Review Item. 

My five-year-old daughter - like a lot of children, is L.O.L crazy, she has been collecting L.O.L dolls for the past year. She loves the surprise element of them and all the fun accessories that you get with the dolls (and pets), however, as the dolls and accessories are so small she often ends up losing the shoes and outfits for them. 

So when we were offered to review the new L.O.L Surprise Pop-Up Store Playset I thought that would be perfect for her to store all her L.O.L dolls and accessories in.  Not only is it a display and storage case but it also turns into a little playset and you can also use it for transporting dolls too. 

Harry Potter Wizard Training Wands Review

AD - Review Items. 

This weekend Fantastic Beasts Two, The Crimes of Grindlewood hit the cinemas. As JK Rowling fans will know Fantastic Beasts is a spin-off to the Harry Potter films, featuring magical creatures, spells and lots of spellbinding moments. So wizard fever has been at a high recently. 

My five-year-old daughter has recently discovered Harry Potter and she absolutely adores it.  I think she is secretly hoping for an owl like Hedwig or a letter inviting her to join Hogwarts and meet Hermione but the chances of that happening are rather slim. Luckily she was sent the next best thing, Hermione's wand! 

Poopsie Surprise Unicorn Toy Review

My little boy recently turned four and he is really into any kind of vehicle, planes, trains, lorries, cars and trucks fascinate him and he really enjoys playing with toy ones.

A family Games Night With Little Tikes

AD - Review Items. 

Now that all three children are at school and the other half no longer works weekends we always make the most of the weekends and Saturday night is always family night. We often watch a film, enjoy some treats or a Saturday night take away and just enjoy spending time together. 

 

So when Little Tikes got in touch and asked if we would like to take part in a kids vs adults game challenge we thought this sounded perfect. We were sent two new Little Tikes games to play, Crazy Toaster and Hot Hoops.

Prestige Christmas Hamper Review

AD - Review Item. 

 Last year we were lucky enough to receive a Christmas hamper from Prestige and this year we were lucky enough to be sent another one to review. 

We were sent the Traditional Gift basket, which is exactly how you would imagine a Christmas hamper to be. A dark wicker basket with leather look handles and fastening makes this hamper look luxurious and oh so traditional. When the basket looks this good you know you're in for a treat before you even open it and discover the contents inside. 

Hatchimals CollEGGtibles Series 3 Review

AD - Review Items.

My 5-year-old daughter loves Hatchimals. Like most children, she loves the surprise element of opening these toys. Hatchimals have a new Series 3 collection out with over 100 CollEGGtables to collect in this series. 

She was sent some Hatchimals CollEGGtibles series 3 to review from Spinmaster.  We were sent the one dozen egg carton which looks just like a box of dozen eggs, a four pack, a two pack with a nest and a blind bag. 

Crate Creatures Surprise Toy Review

AD - Review Item. 

Crate Creatures Surprise are new interactive monster toys that come in a crate locked with a plastic chain and padlock that you have to open with the crowbar fixed to the side of the crate. 

Inside the crate, we met Snort Hog, a four-armed hog creature who makes disgusting sounds and with green boogers up his nose. There are four different Crate Creature Surprises but they are all a similar size and have similar features.
