This underwater light show from IWantOneofThose.com is a nice stocking filler at £7.99 It can be set to cycle colours, or remain on one relaxing shade.
It's one of the gifts in IWOOT's huge 3 for £20 offer, a handy way to get lots of the fiddly presents out of the way in one swoop.
The Stellar Rudolph Nutcracker. Leave it out as a threat to Santa to show what you'll do if he doesn't bring the right gift! Get yours from Amazon or Palmers' Stores.
Last night my boys and I attended a Lidl Christmas launch event in James Streer South, Belfast. Lidl's top chef Ian Orr supplied us with a savoury and sweet buffet of delights, all straight from the supermarket shelves. He also served up a starter of crab claws, and a main meal with traditional turkey with roasted chestnuts.
The desserts all got a definitive thumbs up from little Michael. I've already a mental shopping list of the delights we tried made. The deluxe collection arrives in store around 25th November.
Spotted in B&M Springhill, Bangor store. A cherry red, glitter encrusted stag's head, as part of their Christmas range. Also available in gold glitter or silver sparkle. The best part is the price, only £7.99 and it's the kind of decoration I would keep up all year, as my house is a zoo of real taxidermy.
It isn't available to buy through the B&M website just yet, but pop into your nearest store or email them to stock it if you love it like I do.
I spend an awful amount of time on my sofa. So do you I expect. I'm writing this whilst curled up on our brown leather couch. It's worthwhile investing in a good sofa. Cheapy sofas won't last long, so you are better off spending a sensible chunk of money on something perfect that won't fall apart in two years' time.
HelloSofas.com make each sofa specifically to your measurements, with dozens of fabrics and colours to choose from. I picked my favourite designs that wouldn't look out of place in a space ship. Very city-living cool, or bachelor pad corner sofas for gathering round the XBox.
£2,499 for this super luxurious circular sofa
Juicy orange leather family sofa. Little bit Mad Men late 60s style
If that is too much orange for you, how about a splash of colour along with sleek white leather for £1,399
The Parma sofa comes in a variety of colours and pulls apart to make three soft stools
The ritz in red is £929 Would look super in a large kitchen due to its 1950s' diner feel
The Barcelona would look at home in an expensive boutique hotel
Green, my favourite. This one is completely Mad Menesque
Very sleek
What do you think of this one? A masculine feel, reminds me of Formula One racing car design.
Finally the Milan. Remember any colour combination and any size and numbers of seats you desire
I new I'd like the relaunch of My Little Pony for a few reasons. The manag-sequel reimagining of the 1980s' cartoon series of my youth is highly heralded as superb from young and old. The clever and funny themes explored in My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic has gathered the makers a rather unusual adult following. Male adults who are obsessed with the characters call themselves, "bronies" as in 'bro' and 'ponies'.
So with the Internet littered with Pony memes and macros, I assumed I would enjoy the actual cartoon. All that has stopped me seeing it until now is not having a Sky channel that shows it. This week Netflix added the My Little Pony Equestria Girls film, and loved it. I've a feeling I will get sucked into the series too, so I will have to get the DVDs.
I've left comments open on this post, for once, or you can tweet me if you want to share the love.
So next, do I buy myself a My Little Pony T-shirt?
or men's boxers?!
Or, a Build-a-Bear Workshop my little pony of my very own?
or just get myself some replica hooves? By the level of fandom I've discovered online for the ponies, I'm pretty sure this isn't the weirdest merch available either :-S
By now I'm sure you've heard of Kickstarter. You can pledge money to assist a creative project reach a monetary goal to produce content.
Hi BabyBoo! aims to be a video series and app for parents to share with their babies, with all the music and magic of Yo Gabba Gabba holds for their slightly older siblings.
You can back the project here.
For kids- including a newly launched design, top left, by Parker Jacobs,
And adult sizes too.
As heard on BBC Radio 6's Lauren Laverne Show.
