Wicked Uncle Toys

If you have children you will know it can be very easy to buy toys for little ones as there is  so much out there to choose from. Of course this can make buying toys hard as well. That's where Wicked Uncle can help you out, aimed at all the family to give a helping hand when buying toys for little ones. Wicked Uncle have a selection of toys suitable from babies to teens in a range of categories from age range, A-Z, gender and popular toys. This makes finding the ideal gift much more easier. As Blake is 18 months in a few weeks, I decided it would be a good idea to choose toys suitable for 2 years +.  Then he will still be able to play with them next year. 

My first choice was the Grow it: My very own garden set. This is great for imaginative role play and is bright and colorful making it eye catching. The set comes with 9 chunky pieces great for small hands. Another fab thing about the set is that the watering can is like a proper one, so that children can also practice watering real plants as well as the toy ones.  The set is made from durable soft plastic which can be easily washed.  Blake loves trying to use the watering can, planting the carrot, radish and two flowers using the shovel with the three colorful pots.

I also chose the Fix it: My very own tool box from the same brand, which is also great for imaginative and creative play. Again the set is made from soft and durable plastic with eye catching colors making it a fun and stimulating toy. The chunky six piece set contains a realistic sounding drill,  hammer, screwdriver, saw and wrench as well as a tool box to keep it all in. It's great for little ones who love to fix things. Blake loves using the drill but doesn't seem to have much interest yet in playing with the other tools (unless you count throwing them at me). I've been encouraging him buy "showing" him how each tool works, I think as he gets older he will certainly start to gain interest. 

Both the Grow it: My very own garden set and Fix it: My very own tool box retail at £19.95 

which i feel is a great price for toys that are of such high quality and fun to play with. 

What do you think of my choices?  Have you purchased anything from Wicked Uncle? 

Coloring book postcards

Coloring books for adults have become popular for awhile now with many fabulous books filled with pretty images. Recently I was sent some new coloring books but what makes them more special is that you can pull out the pages as they are also postcards. 

I love the idea of the coloring books as they make sending out the postcards more personal. This means that each postcard is unique since you can color them in however you would like. What a great way to get your creative juices flowing.

I use to love coloring in as a child and as an adult this is no different. Its a great way to be more creative and is also a great way to relax and unwind after a busy day. If you are into mindfulness which is also popular at the moment then you will also love these books. 

The books have such beautiful images in which you can see below and each postcard in the book is different. The card is a great thickness so that you can use coloring pencils, pens, felt tips, crayons and acrylics. 

What do you think about these coloring books? Do you love coloring in? Do you find it relaxing?

Coloring Books for Grown Ups

As a busy Mum sometimes I just need relax and just take time to do things for me. 

When I do get an hour or so to myself when not doing house work or blogging I like to 

watch a good film or have a lovely bubble bath. 

I recently came across these coloring books for grown ups which I think is an excellent creative outlet.

I loved coloring when I was a child and these days I find myself doodling quiet often. 

So I  feel that are fab way for me to unwind at the end of the day while Blake is asleep. 

The books that I were sent are: 

The one and only coloring book for adults 

The one and only mandala coloring book 

The one and only coloring book for traveling adults. 

I love that each of the books have beautiful images that just need to be filled in and with coloring you get to 

get your creative juices flowing with coloring in the images in your way. 

I really love how each of the books have paper that is thick enough to use pencils, crayons, acrylics and some paints. 

I also like that they do a travel version as when your on holiday it's time for you to relax so you can sit back and relax and just free your mind with coloring in the evenings or even if your resting on the beach instead of reading a book. 

Do you think coloring books for grown ups are a good idea?
