I don’t know any child that hasn’t gone through a Peppa Pig stage. I’m not sure what it is with the little pink oinker, but kids are just mesmerised by it. Peppa Pig is still watched in my household on a daily basis, and even I catch myself watching it!
So now, for the first time ever, you get to star alongside Peppa Pig in your own personalised adventure book, thanks to penwizard. The child of your choice can join Peppa and her animal friends in a back to school, nursery, playgroup or pre-school adventure.
It couldn’t be easier to do. You very simply add you child’s name to the site, personalise the image including their eye colour, hair colour and style and skin colour. Choose whether your child goes to school, nursery, playgroup or pre-school; and even include a personal message, which appears on the first page.
This makes a very easy, simple but touching book for any child, certain to put a smile on their little faces.

My two boys were so chuffed with their books that they had to take them into school. The whole class was treated to a memorable story time!
Imagination fuel for little ones - the perfect gift
‘Mum, are we there yet? Dad, when will we be there? Mum, Dad, hurry up, I’m bored!!!’ Kids are some of the most impatient little people around. But, hey, can you blame them? Sitting in the car for hours on end, driving to a destination of their parents’ choice can be boring. Or, even when Mum and Dad insist on their children going on long country walks with them…..boring!!!!
So, all hail the I Can Spot detective style flip books. These books will most definitely keep the little ones amused when out and about. Yes, it is just a little book, but these books are full of marvellous items to spot when travelling or on a walk-about. These books are aimed specifically at toddlers up to children of seven years of age. Each book is wonderfully designed with a tick box on each page. The child has to look at the picture on the page, and then has to spot it out in the open. When the child spots the image, they have to tick the box; it’s as simple as that. I have two boys myself, aged four and five, who love to put pen to paper. So I know that these flip books will be just perfect for them. Personally, I would suggest using a pencil on the books, then the ticks can easily be erased and the book can be used over again. We all know that kids just love to tick things!
The makers of these fantastic little books are 2littleboys. They have produced four I Can Spot Flip Books, which can be bought together in one great deal. These include; I Can Spot…Numbers, I Can Spot…People with, I Can Spot…in Town and I Can Spot…in the countryside. So you can easily bring these books wherever you go, educating the kids and keeping them entertained together. What more could you ask for?
The I Can Spot Bundle (all four books) is priced at £12.00 and be purchased at http://www.2littleboys.co.uk.
Uplifting, heart-warming, sentimental and just absolutely beautiful! That’s just some of the words that arise in my head when I looked at the gifts I have received from photobox. Offering original and thoughtful gifts for Fathers Day (and many other occasions), to suit anyone, no matter what your needs are; you will definitely not be disappointed with what you get. If you’re looking for that special keepsake, then I urge you visit photobox and I will guarantee you will be smiling like a Cheshire cat when you have completed your order!
We all know how hard it is to buy presents for a Dad who has got everything, and who gives you no clue what-so-ever as to what he would like! My Fiancé is an absolute nightmare to buy for, always stating as long as he has me and the boys he needs nothing else (He’s such a softie at heart, but I love him for it). So whenever photobox contacted me, I was overjoyed. Now my special other half will have an extraordinary keepsake, which he will treasure and show off for many years. With plenty of different gifts to which you can upload you favourite photos, it really couldn’t be easier with Photobox.
I have 2 personal favourites, and my first is the hard back or soft back books. These books really are amazing. When I received my hard back book, it brought a tear to my eye! I chose my most loved photos of my 2 boys, uploaded them onto the site, and chose where to place them within the 26 page book. This really couldn’t be any easier. The only bit that was time-consuming for me was choosing photos from the thousands I have on my computer! You also have the option to auto fill, and the book will fill itself at supersonic speed. The book can also come with optional quotes, making it easier to say something extra special. My 2 boys helped me choose the photos, the theme (nautical, modern, pastel), background, fonts and also arrange the photos on the page in the way they wanted. It really was a fun time together. For each photo, you can add your own message, making it more personal. I really do recommend this for anyone. At a great price of £29.99, you really can’t get a more personal and heart touching gift.
My second favourite is the Canvas Art Work. Guaranteed to make Dad smile whenever he walks into the room where it is hung, even after Fathers Day. This will make an incredible surprise for him, an additional gift he will hold close to his heart for years on end. Choose a photograph that he really loves and transform it into a stunning canvas print. Dad might want to hang it in his office at work, or just simply have it on his living room wall. But to be quite honest, it will be worthy of any wall space anywhere. I was really blown away with the canvas print, it is a very special gift indeed, and I also thoroughly recommend it. Priced at £21.99 up to £69.99 for larger sizes, the canvas print will make a tremendous present for every Dad out there.

Clem Chambers is the CEO of ADVFN, Europe’s number one stocks and shares website. He is also an amazing writer, in the mould of Grisham.
His latest book, The Twain Maxim, is the perfect Fathers Day Gift. Trust me, about a week in, Your Dad will start to really thank you. It’s that good!
The story centres around a Congolese mine and it’s dodgy promoter, Baz Mycock. The mine is a scam and Mycock is out to fleece as many as he can in the stocks and shares trading world. The hero of the story, Jim, is a city whizzkid, with uncanny and unrivalled trading skills. He is so good at this that money is no longer an object to him.
He buys into Mycock’s mine, but his suspicious broker wants a closer look and promptly disappears. Jim has no choice but to investigate further. This leads to heaps of danger, adventure and some pretty scary scenarios. Clem Chambers experiences in the real world help to turn this work of fiction into something very tangible. Some of the trading described in the book is riveting in itself.
Along with other leading characters like “Man bites Dog” - a congolese child soldier, a pygmie tribe, a proper-hard love interest and the mighty Doombahs, this is one major page turner.
(What’s a doombah? I’m not telling, read the book….they are very, very cool though!)
This book is so good, I am surprised Hollywood hasn’t come calling. It has it all - danger, suspense, humour, great characters and a perfect ending.
Get your Dad a copy at amazon, it’s a belter!
