Turning a Memory into a piece of Art is easy with Paint a Moment, I found my moment of calm during this collaboration

This October I have been gifted an opportunity, to make a photograph of mine into a piece of art. The photograph I chose was a macro image of some forget-me-not flowers that I had taken. I planted these flowers in my garden after I lost my final grandparent in tribute to her memory. The flowers mean a lot to me, and when the kind founder of Paint a Moment contacted me about a product review, I knew I wanted to turn something significant in my life into a painted piece of art.

Do you know what’s incredible? Watching your memory, and in my case my photographic art, take shape by my own hands, with every brush stroke and every paint pot change. Let me tell you why these pieces make the most incredible gifts, either for people in your life or as a present to yourself. Because making art is always calming and gratifying, but to watch your important things; such as your pets or people in your world come to life on the canvas, that is something else entirely. It is a wonderful feeling to watch the art develop over the days in which you paint it, you are giving a moment life, to keep it forever once you’re done.

Here is a photograph showing my original flowers image side by side with the canvas that I have received from Paint A Moment. As you can see it is intricate with many different shades and it will have areas that will require a delicate hand and a gentle touch. I recall saying to myself “I am sure this will keep me busy during my baby’s nap times for the coming weeks”. And boy did it! It took me roughly 30 hours to complete over the course of ten days. I will show you the finished canvas at the end of this article so please keep reading, let’s hear more about Paint A Moment now before I give my review.

Once you have chosen your picture Paint a Moment provide every paint that you will need, and also stickers so that you can label the paint pots according to the numbers on your printed picture. I received 3 brushes as well, different thicknesses so that I can tackle every aspect of my canvas. As you can see in my image below the pots have come in an awesome tray to keep things neat and tidy as well as the various stickers and a reference image of my photograph.

I found the painting was easy, by following the lines and the numbers. Not having to mix any paints was also a blessing, all the things that I needed were included, and I could just pick up the paintbrush when my baby was napping and paint a little. I would usually choose the largest amount of colour from the numbers I had remaining. So that way I could watch the painting come to life, one colour at a time. As I said above it took me ten days, roughly 30 hours. That was because it was very stop start, looking after my children between painting moments.

Speaking of moments, I wanted to include a quote from Paint A Moment founder Marcus in my review, here is what he has said about his business and the art they create.

“I wanted to make something that gets people off their phones for an evening (or longer) and leaves them with a painting of something they actually love: their dog, their nan’s house, a place they have been to. You don’t need to be able to paint, you just need a photo, a bit of patience and a moment to yourself”.

If you or someone you know could do with some grounding and relaxing artwork to complete, perhaps for someone too invested in their phone, then why not consider a piece as a gift. I think it’s the perfect thing for all because you don’t need to be able to paint to do paint by numbers work. When I agreed to this collaboration I checked out the shop on the Paint a Moment website, and they have three stages for painters of all levels and difficulties. It can be for anyone to enjoy.

A paint kit starts from £21.99 and you can choose if you want to add any additional things to that which incur costs such as a frame and extra paints. Paint a Moment have Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced kits available. As well as the custom kits of your own images too which is what mine has been.

Paint a Moment use stock images so that people can buy some of the art that is ready to paint in the levels of difficulty that I have mentioned above. I do feel the custom pieces that are available should be shouted about due to the quality they are able to achieve from someone’s photography, like my own. Their pictures are all stunning, ready to go and custom – because I checked out the reviews too. So many satisfied customers just like me. Why not check it out for yourself – once you have finished reading my article though! I’m sure you want to see how my canvas turned out don’t you… let’s continue…

The link to the Paint A Moment Shop is HERE

During the time I have spent painting my canvas, I have felt calmer than usual, and I have been able to reflect on my thoughts more whilst painting, more than I have ever been able to do while using some sort of a screen. I class myself as a creative person, mainly as a photographer, but I have painted many things over the years. To pick up some brushes again for the first time in a number of years was both satisfying and compelling, it has made me want to paint more. I am sad my canvas is complete, now I need another project to do. And you know what? The best thing about a hobby like this is that you can take your time, it isn’t a race or a necessity to complete it immediately after starting.

Here is my final finished canvas, are you ready? I am really happy with how it has turned out.

Overall I have been hugely impressed by this product, the company and the entire experience, and I rate this product a 5 stars across the board. I will now elaborate on each score below.

Product Quality 5✩
Delivery 5✩
Product Design 5✩
Ease of Use 5✩

Unique Value 5✩
Professionalism 5✩

Product Quality is hugely important when creating something yourself at home, from the paints and the individual pots, to the brushes and the canvas. I have been impressed by all of it. The paint pots come with stickers and are labelled too so there is no guesswork, you have absolutely everything you require in order to complete your art work and it’s laid out simply enough to follow.
Delivery was great, the canvas comes rolled, and you have all the items you need in one box, no messing around with multiple deliveries. I was impressed also by the timeframe of ordering with my own photograph, within a few days the printed canvas arrived with all I needed to get started.
The Product Design for this kit was excellent, even the foam that the paints arrive in means you don’t need any other products or art supplies, all that you need from start to finish is provided. The canvas itself is high quality and printed very clearly so that you can see the numbers you need and match them with the paint pots. For anyone new to a paint-by-numbers type of art, you would not feel any anxiety because you have everything you need plus its all simple to follow.
Leading on to Ease of Use now, as I just stated you have everything, all you need now is a flat surface and some free time in which to paint. Because the colours are made up specifically for your artwork, you do not need to go hunting for other colours, it’s all there ready for whenever you have a spare minute to do some painting. I worked by doing the larger areas first and then moved on to the more intricate parts of my photo which worked well for me.
The Unique Value of having a custom image created into art is excellent, and you cannot put a price on somebody’s memories and important imagery, so to immortalise that in canvas art to such a high standard is exceptional.
Finally the Professionalism of the website, the team and especially the founder of this company, proves why it is a good idea to support small UK business when you can. They make sure that you have the best experience and receive the best quality of product so that you can turn your art into a memory in itself, the experience of watching it come to life by your own hands is something that cannot be replicated by simply buying a ready made piece. By creating your own art work from a photograph, you are getting a unique item made for you and then completed by you.

Here is a triptych showing my photograph, the canvas plain ready for painting, and the finished piece when I had completed painting it. Other than perhaps learning to blend the edges of the colours more for the background, I am pleased with how this turned out.

As a keen creative I have been really excited by this collaboration and have thoroughly enjoyed painting my very own canvas, I would love to do another one someday soon.

I really appreciate you coming to my website today, thank you for visiting and reading this piece, and I hope you have a great day and come back again soon.

Is LEGO creating a mess in your house? You need to discover Brick Bagz like I have done

I have been gifted a small Brick Bagz item for the purpose of this product review. Why am I choosing to tell you about them? Because, they are an awesome space saver, they keep every aspect of a LEGO set all in one place AND (if that wasn’t enough to convince you) they are an eco-friendly product too in both creation and packaging! Let me tell you more…

If you have followed me for a while now, be it on my blog or on my social media, you will know that LEGO is a huge part of my family and a main one of our hobbies. LEGO is perfect for a gift, for imaginative play, seasonal building and decorating your home – yes I’m the woman who has built LEGO flowers that I have in real vases! And I love it.

So what happens when your house looks more LEGO than home… the boxes are bulky, the bags cannot be resealed and the pieces end up mixed up too (especially if you have little humans building with them). What can we all do to prevent this? Well you can display all your builds… (who has the space to do that?! Seriously?) OR you can keep some sets built and dismantle the others. But then where do you put all of the bricks? And all of the instruction booklets? Because you will need those again one day. An accumulation of all of the above is bulky, heavy and takes up substantial space whether its in open fabric tubs or if it’s in plastic lidded boxes, or goodness me, back in the open LEGO box it came in which it could very easily fall out of…

Well now I have a solution. Not just for me, but for all of you out there. Brick Bagz are the alternative that most of us LEGO enthusiasts have been waiting for!

What Is A Brick Bagz?

A Brick Bagz is a piece of storage ingenuity designed with parents in mind and created in an eco-friendly way, to tackle the chaos that is LEGO and its building bricks. It is made from sustainable materials and is just as much about caring for our planet – and it’s people, as it is about keeping your LEGO organised.

Brick Bagz come in four sizes and four colours. Available in Red, Yellow, Green and Blue. As well as Small, Medium, Large and Extra Large. To suit all of your LEGO set needs.

Designed for 3 years of age and over to handle, with an easy to use zip bag and a handy see through pocket on the front to house the instruction booklet for your LEGO set.

Brick Bagz are “As tough as your little builder’s imagination, yet gentle on the Earth”.

The small bag in this review is what I have been given, it holds between 100 and 200 bricks of LEGO depending on the size of those pieces. This is perfect for most small boxed LEGO sets. Usually you can look up a LEGO set online to find out how many pieces it contains. Do this before you order any Brick Bagz so you buy the correct size. The lovely team over at Brick Bagz even do bundles too.

An Important Quote from Brick Bagz

‘Brick Bagz was created from a very simple idea: we wanted to make a practical, durable bag that celebrated something people genuinely love, while also moving away from the disposable, plastic-heavy products that are so common today. We wanted Brick Bagz to be something that could be used again and again, rather than something that would quickly end up being replaced or thrown away.

At the heart of Brick Bagz, the same idea that inspired us in the first place was created to inspire some fun, prove useful and well made so that people can enjoy Lego(r) for years. We want our products to be loved, used and kept, and as we develop the brand, we want to do that in a way that is kinder to the environment and more responsible towards the people involved in making them.’

No more deteriorating LEGO boxes, no more food bags full of LEGO bricks to stop them getting lost, no more plastic tubs with various sets all thrown together in one place. Brick Bagz allow for sets to be kept separate and their instructions booklets safe with the bricks for any future rebuilds. LEGO can be such an incredible hobby, it is filled with fun and imagination. But as parents often find out after purchasing a few hundred pieces, there are not many ways it can be stored efficiently and protected. Brick Bagz now allow for this scenario to become reality, and their bags come in four different sizes too, to suit every LEGO collectors needs and wants.

As you can see by my photography the size of the LEGO box is going to take up substantially more storage space than a Brick Bagz would do. And random bricks in a box or a food bag isn’t ideal long term. Let’s all choose smart storage and sustainable products like what the Brick Bagz are. Store your filled bags wherever is easiest for you: mine are going in a box all neat in a row. Now I just need some more…

Each Brick Bagz is made with fabric that is chemical free and that is ethically sourced. They also post out to their customers in eco-friendly packaging as well. My son helped do the reviewing and liked that the bag was well-made, soft and sturdy.

My Honest Opinion

When I came across Brick Bagz I couldn’t believe my luck! I had been after a storage solution for our family LEGO that did not involve yet more plastic. I think my phone had been listening to my thoughts again because I logged into my social media to submit my latest post and there was an advert for Brick Bagz. As soon as I read about the company and their practices I knew that I wanted to work with them. A few emails and a few days later and I am sitting at home testing the small Brick Bagz bag with my eldest son. It was a simple idea but excellent quality, doing exactly as it advertised.

My son loved that it was so simple to store both the LEGO bricks and the booklet. The whole thing is made with high quality material and the added bonus was that I could get it in red! His favourite colour.

Overall I have been hugely impressed and rate this product a 5 stars across the board.

Look at how amazing this seasonal set of ours looks in its very own Brick Bagz storage. Now this set is ready for any use that we want from it, and then it is stored on the shelf or in a storage box simply ready for the next time me or the children want to see it made and displayed. Definitely ideal for more of the seasonal and re-playable LEGO sets, Brick Bagz are going to help my family organise them better.

Argos Tester Product Review of the Kenwood Multitasker Food Mixer, do you fancy Pizza or Cake?

“I was impressed that it wasn’t very loud, the mixer has several speed settings as well as efficient and convenient ways of locking, unlocking and adjusting all aspects of the machine. By the time I had baked my first batch of cookie muffins the feeling of being intimidated had left me”. (Full Review Below).

Hello! I’m Sabrina! I am an Argos Tester, this means that I often get items sent to me for the purpose of an online review. I thoroughly test the products and take photographs of them before submitting my findings and honest thoughts over to Argos. Sometimes I even do a video, and these are shown on my social media channels (links at the bottom of my post). This latest campaign I was given my choice of a selection of Kitchen Appliances and Devices.

#ArgosTester #ArgosTesters #ArgosTestersCommunity

I have written this review about a product that I have been supplied for free, in order to test and then review it. This is my experience with said product and it is my honest review about the product listed below. At this time I have already submitted my review to the Argos Website, and it has been accepted on to live public view when this blog post has been published. Please see my review on the link to the Argos website. All words and photography within this article are my own.

My Full Review

As someone who has always wanted a mixer but been intimidated by the thought of owning one, the Kenwood has set my mind at ease by being simple to use and easy to figure out.

There are well designed release buttons and a speed setting dial, a stainless steel bowl and three attachments for all your baking needs.

I’m not well versed with things such as pastry, this mixer will predominantly be used for cakes and muffins and the like. Though I feel like trying to make my own pizza dough after realising how efficient this machine really is.

The Kenwood has lots of excellent features and accessories, such as the easy grip bowl with a great ergonomic handle, there are also tool storage slots behind at the rear of the machine too. The built in splash guard is a wonderful idea, with a hole so that you can still add extra ingredients as you mix, and with a measuring spoon included in the fitted piece over said hole.

I was impressed that it wasn’t very loud, the mixer has several speed settings as well as efficient and convenient ways of locking, unlocking and adjusting all aspects of the machine. By the time I had baked my first batch of cookie muffins the feeling of being intimidated had left me.

Overall I am very satisfied with how little space the unit takes up in my kitchen (because I had worried it would be massive once assembled). And with the storage for the accessories built in it’s a game changer in a small kitchen like mine. It’s also quite light weight and has suction feet on the base too! Perfect for amateur bakers like me.

As for how efficient the mixer is I can’t complain, I did 10 minutes of prepping all my ingredient measurements and I only had them in the mixer for a total of 3 minutes until everything was blended. From start to bake it was less than 20 mins before everything was ready to be portioned out and baked in my oven. It is a game changer for regular baking and I look forward to being more adventurous with it in the future as well.

I would recommend this as a mixer for anyone who was starting out at baking or who wanted to level up from doing it by hand, and letting a machine take some of that mixing strain. We all have to level up sometime so why not with a Kenwood which is honestly a great brand, and a reliable device with plenty to occupy you in a basic home kitchen set up.

Product Information
Item Product Name: Kenwood Multitasker Food Mixer with Stand in White
Item Link at Argos: Kenwood Mixer
RRP Price: £99.99 (Correct as of 04/09/2026)

Sabrina’s Final Scores and Honest Opinion

As far as home appliances go, you want something reliable and a product that does what it says it’s going to do. The Kenwood Multitasker does as described and has all these lovely nice extra bonus aspects too, like the built in storage and splash guard. Overall I would recommend this product to anyone new to baking but also for anyone who has a smaller kitchen, because it doesn’t take up much space but still allows for plenty of kitchen and baking exploration and fun. I look forward to exploring it more, maybe I will make a pizza dough once I’ve had enough of baking cake.

A Cooling Blanket that is Perfect for any Warm Evening, from Elegear and their Arc-Chill 3.0 technology

This week I am showcasing an incredible piece of human ingenuity in my product review. An Arc-Chill 3.0 cooling blanket from a brand called Elegear. Designed and created with warm sleepers in mind, it is invented to create a cooling effect and allow for better sleep.

The Elegear Arc-Chill 3.0 cooling blanket is made from Nylon and Polyethylene, incorporated with Jade Nano-particles. Japanese research on cooling fibres has allowed for this revolutionary product to be available. Let us look into this more now with some information from Elegear.

More About Elegear

Elegear believe that comfort is not just a feeling but a science. They create products that can benefit those who want real solutions to problems. They have designed their innovative Arc-Chill 3.0 technology as a cooling aid in order to lower skin temperature and enhance sleep quality. Their blankets, pillowcases and expertly crafted products combine comfort with innovation. The result is transforming hot nights into cooling restful and refreshing moments for sleep. Cooling comfort for a good night’s sleep and a refreshing feeling on your skin.

How to Use the Elegear Arc-Chill 3.0 Cooling Blanket?

Choose your usual night time routine and pull the blanket over you in bed, ensuring the cooling side is upon your skin. Relax and let the cooling effect work immediately.
Once the blanket has absorbed the heat from the person under it the effect will slow down, causing the person to become warm again. Turning over, moving the blanket off you and back on again, and combining the use of the blanket with a fan or air conditioning to circulate air in the room around you will allow the blankets effect to be better evenly distributed by those using it.

Who Could This Blanket Benefit?

People who run hot especially at night time, and those who have partners who sweat a lot at night time too. Those who have hot flushes and run warm at night. It can be used by any adults during a heatwave or period of hot weather where sleep is disrupted by the person/s being too hot.

Product Information
Made in China
Available on Amazon LINK to Elegear Arc-Chill 3.0 Cooling Blanket
Colour: Grey (other colours available)
Size 150x200cm (other sizes are available)
Material: Nylon 80%, Polyethylene 20% and incorporated with Jade Nano-particles
Care: Machine Washable on Gentle at 30’degrees or less, do not bleach, do not tumble dry, do not iron, do not dry clean, hang to dry and in shade not direct sun light.

My Honest Opinion and Scores

I was instantly fascinated by the way this blanket cools the skin, the difference that you feel is immediate. With the warm weather we have had in the United Kingdom lately it has been a nice cooling relief to lie on my bed with this blanket. Any area of the skin that it covers is cooled down and any sweat is absorbed into the blanket. The cover takes the heat from your skin and the fabric then cools you down, very innovative. I have never used anything like this before.

Product Quality 5✩
Product Design 5✩

Overall I find this item to be innovative and it definitely does what it advertises. This blanket is ideal for warm summer nights, heatwaves and if someone’s partner being hot creates a hot sleeping environment. It is a fairly weighted blanket when it is bundled together but once spread out over the bed is lightweight and comforting. The fabric is soft and smooth.

It is available from Amazon, why not check out the Elegear Store on the Amazon website.

Thank you for reading my product review article today.

Gummee Baby Teething Products; A New Baby means a New Teething Journey Begins

Collaborating with a brand as important and as inspirational as Gummee is an honour. I have been supplied two of the best Gummee products to product review with my new baby. He was 4 months of age when he began teething, and there is very little on the market suitable for that age group that you can trust to be made with baby in mind. But Gummee is a brand that I trust, who make high quality items suitable for a baby from birth onwards. I am familiar with them as it isn’t the first time we’ve used Gummee in my house, because I purchased them for my eldest over seven years ago.

I have spent the past month (from my son’s 5th to 6th months of life), allowing my son access to both the Gummee items as often as he wanted them. Letting him use the glove, plushee fish and the removable teether as often as he has needed. He has thoroughly enjoyed using them to soothe his painful gums, and it shows how attractive they are too when his fish gets taken everywhere with us now. A sweet smiley plushee friend that helps his teeth pain too, it’s a win win for me as his mum.

Hopefully my article will show just how much these Gummee items have helped my little boy, please do take my word for it, but also continue reading and look out for my photograph’s for more evidence too.

These are the items that I was sent for this collaboration.
1 Gummee Glove includes the Glove, Silicone Heart Teething Ring and Laundry / Travel Pouch.
1 Plushee Fish includes the Clown Fish comforter and awesome cardboard packaging which turns into a fish home.

When Gummee reached out for a product review collaboration I jumped at the chance. Back in 2019 I reviewed their items off my own back on this very blog, when my eldest son was teething, they were a lifesaver for him to chew upon. My youngest was born in the autumn of 2025 and was just starting to teethe when I heard from Gummee. They offered a glove and a comforter and I was more than happy to provide a review in return for keeping the items.

As a parent I feel like a good review can make all the difference when you purchase something for a baby or child, because you need other people to tell you that the brand is trustworthy and compliant in safety. I already knew Gummee, but their company has grown from strength to strength and they have released new items since I purchased back in 2019. As 2026 progresses and my baby gets bigger, I needed items that would work and quality I can rely on, Gummee is perfect for both.

Not only are the Gummee products of the very best quality, but they are designed perfectly for young babies and toddlers. If you don’t know anything about Gummee, then let me explain some more about them before we get to my review of each individual product.

A family run business in the south of the United Kingdom, Gummee was started back in 2012 and was the world’s first commercially available teething mitten for little ones. The Boothby family took incentive and designed their baby a teething mitten when he would constantly chew on his hands. There was a gap in the market for a wearable teether which was made to baby safe standards. This was how the Gummee brand first began, with the original Gummee Glove.

All Gummee items are made to the highest possible quality, of 100% cotton and 100% food grade silicone. When the teething mitten became popular and the good reviews rolled in as a revolutionary baby product, Gummee expanded accordingly, creating more mitten sizes, silicone shaped teethers and now other things like their adorable plushee fish. Their website boasts a 4.9/5 star review score and I can attest to the entire brand being professional and approachable.

I asked Gummee for a quote for my blog, because I feel it is important for a brand to be transparent and Gummee is so parent orientated and supportive. That is why so many parents are happy with their company. Here is what Gummee wanted to say;

“Gummee has always been about supporting parents through those early, often challenging stages of teething. As a small, family-run business, we’re incredibly proud of what we’ve built and the trust parents place in us every day. Safety has always been, and will always remain, our top priority, and everything we create is designed with that at the heart. We’re really excited about what’s ahead too, with a new innovation launching later this year that we hope will continue to make life a little easier for families.”

Gummee Products

Examples of some of the Products Available include;
Gummee Baby Glove 3-6m
Gummee Toddler Glove 6-18m
Gummee Plushee Clown Fish
Gummee Link N Teethe (set of shaped silicone teethers)

Gummee do different coloured gloves, they also do age specific ranges and special needs items too, please see their website for more. But here are some images of some products available.

If my blog post has inspired you to purchase a Gummee item then you can order directly from Gummee on their website.

The Gummee Glove is designed for a baby aged 3-6m. It’s wonderful if your baby constantly sucks and chews their fingers and hands, and stops their skin getting sore. With a patterned square to attract little one’s attention that also crinkles with sound effect, and two silicone attachments one on either side. The Gummee Glove fits around the wrist with Velcro to keep it in place. There is a hidden pocket in the top of the glove too, where a teether with a hole in the centre can be placed inside. A popper in the glove pocket holds that teether in place for baby to chew on. Gummee supply the sweet heart shaped silicone teether to go with their glove.

The Plushee Fish by Gummee is suitable from birth, and is machine washable too. It is attractive in colour and pattern, is lightweight so it’s easy for baby to hold, is also incredibly soft made with 100% cotton, and the silicone fins are made with food grade silicone. Baby was instantly attracted to this, and we called him Fishee, your Fishee friend to help your teeth. My son took to him instantly.
There is a hook on the top which allows for rings to be pulled through, I have used two pram rings to attach one of the Gummee Teethers so my son has an additional chewable piece while out and about, so that ring is really handy and a great idea. Also the label, not just great for parents to see instructions but also a baby loves to look and touch a label.

Out of the two items, I feel like the Fish is the bigger hit with my son. The silicone heart teether on its own (which comes with the glove) has also been excellent because my son has had excellent motor skills at an early age and was able to hold on to it. The glove was perfect at four months onwards, but he soon realised he could just hold the fish or the heart, and the glove was better on the days when he was sticking his fingers and wrist into his mouth to suck and chew upon. I feel like I have based our product usage on what sort of a day my son is having teething wise, and honestly, it’s been a game changer for our teething journey to have the different options to use depending upon his mood and needs.

Here are some images of my son and the products over the month we used them to test out. Plushee Fish (left set) and the Fish in use. The Gummee Glove being worn on the right set, without the teether in, in image three, and with the teether attached on image four (right). You can see my sons’ teeth coming through on the final image and how he has used the teethers accordingly in various areas of his gums to help soothe.

Gummee is a brand that I trust and admire, from being a parent in need of a product that works, to finding Gummee where these parents have designed products with a baby in mind. Gummee is made with everything suitable for baby such as the highest quality cotton and food grade silicone. They maybe a brand I discovered eight years ago, but I am so glad that they are still around and going strong, and that I have now had the pleasure of using their products for all my children and their teething needs.

Would I recommend Gummee? Absolutely in every way and sense, from order and delivery, to friendly staff on hand on the phone for any queries, to the ease of use of all the products and the quality that is ensured throughout each and every one of them.

I especially love the ability to remove the silicone teether, to machine wash the product, and that the colours are inviting and engaging. It is such good quality, and my son has never been able to remove the glove by himself which is great. My son really enjoyed chewing on the sides of the glove, when he was wearing it. I followed the instructions from Gummee and had him wear the glove without the heart teether so as to get used to it, then added the teether after about a week. He definitely preferred the glove with the heart attached.
Is there anything I would change? I would suggest that one of the sides had a slightly larger silicone teething biteable than the other, and I would recommend that those who have larger centile babies at six months of age go for the glove designed for 6m+ as this was quite small for the wrist, my son was around the 80th centile when I first tried the glove on him and it was a tight fit. Not a criticism to the making of it, just an observation that larger handed babies will need the larger glove.

Plushee Fish Quality and Design 5✩
The fish is perfection in a product in my eyes. You cannot go wrong with a happy fish, bright inviting colours and pattern, large teething fin at the top with the two additional ones at the sides. My son preferred the top fin because it was larger and easier to get into his mouth. The product is machine washable too and so easy to wipe clean and sterilise the silicone parts with a quick wipe. My son is besotted with his little fish friend and it goes everywhere with us now. I have used the link cord to attach several rings and other teethers from the Gummee Link N Teethe range, so he is always in reach of something to bite down on when he needs it. It is the best quality and the most fun a baby could want, and best of all it works in soothing.

Baby Uma Products The Pushchair Essentials You Didn’t Realise You Needed

Baby Uma products are widely available online, I purchased mine from Amazon before a family trip with my newborn where I was going to taking the pram on several types of public transport. I wanted Pram Clips and Pram Lights so my pushchair would be both visible and our belongings would be safe.

I purchased a pack of four clips and a pack of four stroller lights which worked out at two white and two red. I have used the clips to attach a stroller organiser bag to the handles at the pushchair bars at the back. The lights are for the bottom either side of the basket to allow people and vehicles to see the pram in poor weather visibility and in darker hours of the day.

I have been very impressed with the quality of both products.
The lights are bright and each have three settings, on and flashing, on continuous and off. They are easy to use with a built in push button on the front to cycle through when you want to use them. Small enough not to get in the way of folding the pram up, and they stay put thanks to a great design.

The clips are excellent, strong and can withstand good weights. The Velcro is great quality and I have no worry that they will last me the entire journey of me using this pushchair. Every pram should have some clips on it, but the brands vary on quality. I would recommend these for their durability and quality of the stitching and strength of the carabiner.

They clips can be used for other things after the pushchair time is done, such as on shopping trolleys to hold your reusable bags, or pop them into your car to use on days out, or use with bicycles too. You could use the lights on bikes as well.

My pictures really don’t do the products justice, so I am going to put a video on my Instagram account as well so you can view them in action. I have two pushchairs and have now put two lights on each pram. And I use the clips between them as well. The products are easy to transfer between pushchairs and it takes no time at all to get set up.

Little Prints Assist New Parents to make those Important Memory Milestones with Mess Free Ink Prints they can Treasure Forever

When the initial weeks with a newborn baby go by in a blur, most parents don’t realise they are missing out on making those key memory milestones. The newborn stage is a mixture of firsts, but also of lasts when they reach those milestones so fast! From the scrunching up of their tiny bodies to the speed at which they grow, capturing these moments is imperative for parents. One thing that I believe every parent should do is make hand prints and foot prints of their little one in the first month.

As I just became a mother for the second time I wanted to achieve all the things I did with my eldest child, but without the stress and the mess. That is when I found Little Prints online, and I reached out to them to collaborate for this blog post. I was so impressed with the brand and knew I wanted to share their genius product design with all my parent followers.

I planned to create photo multi-frames for family, including my son’s prints in that design. So let’s take a look at how easy it was to do and the look of the finished prints. I had Blue Ink and Black Ink.

What makes Little Prints unique?

Little Prints are a UK based brand which was created by parents who wanted a mess free way of preserving a little one’s prints. Stress and hassle free ways to make prints for special milestones.

Choose between Light Blue, Pink or Black Ink kits, which come with two pieces of card inside, but you can always use more pieces of card to create more prints. Even though the ink has limited uses as it transfers to card with every print, there is plenty of it to make several prints.

My Thoughts

Overall I have been so impressed with the brand, the products, and the finished look of the prints. I feel like the fact that it’s a mess free process makes it even more appealing too. You can create once in a lifetime memories and freeze time on your little one growing by achieving their prints.

I would rate my entire experience from the ordering, delivery, quality and ease of use. All the way to my finished prints a 5/5. Little Prints are the ideal gift for new parents, giving them affordable and quality products in order to immortalise their little one’s hands and feet.

How Easy Is It To Use?

Little Prints kits are so simple to use, let me explain how easy it is from my own personal experience. The kit comes encased in plastic (but don’t open it until you’re ready to do the print) and there is a sticker on one side to let you know which side needs to go against the card. If you follow that instruction you cannot get it wrong. All you have to do is ensure you are getting your little ones print level and flat. The hardest part is getting a wriggly baby to stay still for a moment.

Step 1. Ready your little one in a safe space on their back or get a loved one to hold them.
Step 2. Remove the ink kit from the plastic casing, place a piece of card on to the side with the red sticker.
Step 3. Turn the kit over so you have the protected side available to press your little ones hand/foot in to.
Step 4. Once you have done your print carefully remove the card and let it dry before framing.

Pricing Correct as of December 4th 2025

Final Thoughts

As a way in which to save this milestone essential time in your little ones life, I feel like Little Prints help you to achieve prints in the easiest possible way. It’s affordable, with great delivery times and at a quality which is ideal to gift new parents if you aren’t buying for yourself.

You cannot replace this time with your newborn baby, and creating keepsakes like prints is ideal for framing or memory boxes. We have created a thank you card for family and friends by scanning in our little ones print, so the prints themselves make a versatile way of sharing your little ones milestones with others too. My son’s footprint in the frame looks perfect and I plan to pair it with a photograph of him.

This November I have been lucky enough to collaborate with Secret Scent Box again, and if you haven’t heard of them I’m going to explain how amazing their subscription boxes are and why you should check them out this festive season. Either to treat yourself or as a gift for a loved one, it’s a wonderful way in which to try new fragrances.

Secret Scent Boxes are the ideal Christmas gifts for the people in your life who enjoy designer fragrances and smelling fabulous. The best thing about this subscription is the fact that there are hundreds of scents to choose from, and Secret Scent Box ensure you get handy sized atomisers which give a minimum of 30 days of the chosen fragrances. They are perfect for people who like to change up the way they smell, without needing to fork out hundreds of pounds for a full size perfume bottle that they may tire of wearing after a month or two. This way, you can try new brands, rate them and then next month try a new perfume all over again. It’s a great way to try many different designers.

More about Secret Scent Box

The convenience of the box coming through your letterbox each month, with the 3 x 3ml atomisers that are the perfect size for both travel and handbags is a bonus too. I think the cards that depict the notes of each fragrance is really interesting as well, I often notice that I’m drawn to some notes with various fragrances I like. I never would have known this without Secret Scent Box’s attention to detail by providing the cards for each designer scent.

Argos Tester Product Review Stealth Glow Gaming Headset Stand

Hello! I’m Sabrina! I am an Argos Tester, this means that I often get items sent to me for the purpose of an online review. I thoroughly test the products and take photographs of them before submitting my findings and honest thoughts over to Argos. Sometimes I even do a video, and these are shown on my social media channels (links at the bottom of my post). This latest campaign was for Gaming Products including this Headset Stand by Ste4lth.

This is my experience with said product and it is my honest review about the product listed below.

My Review

The Stealth Glow Gaming Headset Stand is the perfect gift for any gamer, or someone who has a headset they want to safely display in a room. The lighting effects are excellent, with plenty of variations to suit every person’s tastes. There are different styles such as Pulse, Fade, Rainbow, Trance, Rapid and Static colours. The static ones are Red, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple/Pink, Teal and White. In order to cycle through the modes you simply press the main button on the base of the stand. Once you have decided which one you want you stop pressing and enjoy the light show. You can also choose to have no lighting effects where the base stays black.
The stand is compatible with all headsets, and is a sturdy base that stands up on any flat surface with ease. It has a non slip capability and also comes in plastic free packaging which was a great bonus for those of us who are recycling conscious. The usb cable that you use to power the stand is long enough for most televisions. I chose to plug mine into a bar with usb slots that I use on my tv stand because I charge several devices this way. But what’s really awesome about this headset stand is that it has two usb slots itself, one A and one C, that can be used to charge headsets or other devices whilst the stand is itself plugged into a usb slot. I chose to charge my headset on it, and the speed of which it charged was more than adequate for my minimal gaming headset usage.
The ability to charge my headset when it’s not in use, whilst enjoying the lighting effects in an evening is great. I decided after some testing that the modes I prefer to use are the rainbow and the fade ones. Overall the all around light effects including the base and the trim make for an interesting piece for anyone’s gaming set up, it is both compact and useful with the usb additions to the base, and I believe most people would find it to be an asset both in maintaining tidiness and keeping one’s headset safe and secure.

Overall I rate this product a 5✩

The Vax Spotwash, is it worth the hype?

Earlier this year I made the decision to buy myself a Vax Spotwash Home and Pet tool device. I had seen adverts for probably a year and finally concluded I needed one in my busy home. With Cats and Children at home it can mean a lot of mess sometimes and I wanted something that would make cleaning easier and better than me being on my hands and knees scrubbing stains.

In my bundle from Vax that I purchased I got the Vax Spotwash Home and Pet Design. They included the Spotwasher liquid and the Pet Stain and Odour Remover liquid. I was also treated to a set of sprays included in this bundle, the Vax Stain Removal Kit, which were called Stainshot Sprays. I have an Antibacterial, an Original and an Oxy Lift. They come in Spring Fresh scent which I found pleasing and not an overpowering smell. I also got a Car Cleaning Kit but I haven’t needed to use that yet.

What I received

Vax Spotwash Machine for Home Pet and Car
Vax Spotwash Solution
Vax Antibacterial Solution 1.5L
Car Kit (Free)
Stainshot Sprays Kit 3 x 750ml
6 Tools for different jobs

Testing the Vax

I had a 3 month old stain on my grey rug that I couldn’t shift with supermarket products. It was orange and yellow, from Cat Vomit unfortunately, and although the rug was clean and I cleaned it regularly hoping it would fade, the stain remained and looked awful to me. So I decided to test if the Vax Spotwash could remove this stain for me, at least fade it somewhat.

I chose to spray the stain with the Oxy Lift Stainshot Spray, because I felt the bubble action would benefit lifting the stain. Inside the Vax Spotwash I used the Vax Cleaning Solution which is Antibacterial and warm water as described in the instructions. Using the scrub tool as the attachment because of its bristles, I hoped to lift and scrub out the stain along with the solution and spray working in tandem.

The device was easy to use and I could see the results as I scrubbed away with the tool. It did take some elbow grease but the device did do a lot of the work for me. I love how I could see the moisture being dragged and sucked back into the machine as I used the tool and hose across the rug when I was done scrubbing. The rug was left smelling great, the stain was 90% faded away and the fibres were definitely clean. I decided to hang the rug outside to dry fully in fresh air, because despite the tools suction being very efficient it wasn’t dry enough to be left on my wooden floors (beneath the rug). Once it had fully dried I could see the extent to which the Vax Spotwash had worked on the stain. It was 95% faded once the sunlight and air had gotten to the fibres.

Overall I would say I’m ecstatic with the results, because the stain was not fresh it was embedded in the rug fibres. I have other rugs that I’m planning to clean up in the exact same way, from cat vomit and food stains such as coffee drips. And I can say with some positivity that the stains are likely to be removed or at least faded to a point where they are no longer noticeable. The fact that the Vax Spotwash also cleans in general to such a high standard makes it such a wonderful tool to have in my home, for both convenience and hygiene reasons.

Cleaning the machine after I was done was a little tricky on the first ever go. Mainly because of working out how to empty and clean all the components effectively. I was surprised as well just how heavy the machine was, and obviously that increased once the fluids were in both the clean and the dirty tanks. At the end of the day you have to think of a small hoover weight, plus the tank of liquid, then you’ll get a rough estimate in your mind. The Vax Spotwash weighs approximately 4.5kg when empty, more when solutions and water and tools are added.

Would I recommend it? Is it worth the hype?

For the price that I paid, which was £129.99 (delivered free) due to an offer. And it came with the free stain removal spray kit, I believe the machine and it’s accessories are good value for money. As for being worth the hype it has certainly worked for me and for what I wanted it for. General cleaning of rugs and upholstery that cannot go into a washing machine, and to remove or fade stains that are integrated into said fabrics. It definitely worked for me and left everything I have used it on looking, feeling and smelling clean.

Yes there are cheaper brands out there, but having done a little research before purchasing my Vax, you don’t get as many accessories, tools, and cleaning solutions with other brands which you would then need to purchase or buy supermarket alternatives to use with the device you have bought. I have used my vax and still have enough solutions to last maybe a year or two at least, because you measure out what you need at the time of filling the device, so nothing is wasted.

I have scored the Product Design as a 4 and the Packaging as a 4 too. Although they claim the machine is compact, I found the pipe really hard to wrap around the machine once it had been used a few times and stretched out. I don’t have a cupboard large enough for it to go into either. There were also no instructions in my box regarding the disassembly and the changing of tools, I had to figure it all out on my own, including the cleaning of the machine, despite it having a few labels on my device itself it wasn’t always clear what to do. I would have loved to have seen some clear instructions.

Overall I do rate this purchase, I feel it is worth the money. And with my latest family addition on the way I’m sure I will get more use out of it very soon too.
