My Little Sandbox has a wooden frame, no mess play mat, and ultra fine sand. The play mat is really handy for scooping spilt sand back into the box! My Little Sandbox is available from Maps Toys, who have a few different varieties available. But, I just love the Big Builder Construction Set – and my two young boys love it too!

This set will have every child digging and having such a fun time. It includes:-

I think this is a great gift for any child. Children love to let their imaginations go away with them, and with My Little Sandbox they are sure to be the happiest kids in the street!

We all know how special our Mum’s are, and how rewarding it is to be a Mum. All us mother’s deserve a little treat now and again, and I can think of no better indulgent treat than these fabulous chocolates from Prestat. These Milk Chocolate Marc de Champagne Truffles will make any mother feel loved and appreciated this Mother’s Day.

I had the absolute pleasure to sample these luxurious chocolates, and I can honestly say they were spectacularly yummy! I am a huge chocolate fan and have to have some everyday, so this delightful box of treats was perfect to accompany a few drinks on a Saturday night.
For any mother with a passion for chocolate truffles, a box of the Milk Chocolate Marc de Champagne Truffles will make the ultimate present for this mother’s day. Champagne is gently turned into the smoothest of brandies before being combined with Prestat’s finest milk chocolate and enrobed in a smooth chocolate shell. They make the most perfect self-indulgent moment!
The box itself is presented with the trademark gold swirls of the chocolatier to The Queen, created by the renowned artist and illustrator Kitty Arden. It looks great, and the contents are utterly delectable
The Independent have stated:-
“Exquisite, rich and dangerously moreish.”
This fabulous box of wonderful truffles is priced at £9.98, which I think is a really good price! They are available at http://www.prestat.co.uk, in Waitrose, Selfridges, Liberty, John Lewis and the Prestat concession in Harrods.
