If you haven’t heard about It’s Your story, then I am more than happy to tell you all about them and their newest adventure. Just think of how happy you little one would be to receive a book in which they star! Well, thanks to the ingenious It’s Your Story, this can be made into reality.
Being the first company in the UK to sell photo-personalised books on the web, they have a superb range of 26 books as well as cards, party invites, e-books, e-cards and even a photo-personalised Father Christmas letter. Sounds good, doesn’t it! And now, they have a fantastic E-Book available which will be delivered to your inbox in less than 5 minutes after completion of your order! And it couldn’t be easier to do!
There are two stories available, the very popular SuperSox and an Animated Snowman story. I have actually seen both of these in the book style, with my own children being the star’s of the book! The stories are absolutely fantastic. But now with computers becoming increasingly in use with the younger generation, the version of the E-Story is a splendid idea.
Let me tell you a little about SuperSox and the vanishing teddies. The story follows the child’s adventures as they track down the evil Professor and Noxious Weed who have stolen the children’s teddies. You will be able to see how SuperSox squeezes through keyholes, blasts through walls and flies through the sky to rescue the teddies. It’s a fun story which will guarantee a lot of giggles!
Once you have placed your order you will receive an email with a link to view the e-story as many times as you want. This can be forwarded to friends and family so they can see your superhero in action!
All you have to do is give details of the child’s surname, address, family members, names of two friends, age, hair and eye colour, favourite TV programme, weight, height, size of feet and the name for the teddy bear that will also features in the story. Simply pay the small fee of £4.99, and you will have your story completed and delivered in 5 minutes. You have got to love this one!

La Perlina really is a mouth-watering box of chocolates. Each individual chocolate is made from 74% dark or milk chocolate and filled with a velvety smooth milk truffle centre.

What does a lady always like to receive at Christmas time? The answer – Perfume! Yes, we adore to receive a new fragrance over the holidays and it is sure to put a smile on even the most hard to please ladies! After trying out the Incanto Bloom Perfume, I feel that this should be on the top of everyone’s list! Or, if you’re a partner/husband/loved one reading this, then I can highly advice this as a gift.
This is such a charming solid perfume, which comes wonderfully presented. It comes in a lovely case with a detachable bow which can double up as a lovely brooch – how clever is that! The Salvatore Ferragamo is a stylish edition to the Incanto Bloom range. With its sleek metal case, this solid perfume compact is perfect for on the go scenting. It’s discreet and might well be the envy of your mates!
With fragrance notes of Grapefruit Flower, Tea Rose and Champaca Flower scent, this edition is really stunning. The beauty is, as it’s a solid fragrance, it really does go a long way - it should last well into 2012. This is an impressive, bright, sophisticated solid perfume and I do highly recommend this perfume for many.
Buy yours today for a price of £29.00 (which is a fantastic price considering you get the brooch too!) from http://www.escentual.com.
I would like to introduce this brand new puzzle to our readers. If you like the Rubik’s Cube, you are going to love this newbie puzzle! This is so the next generation of the Rubik’s Cube, and will without a doubt be just as popular. Made by Moulding Innovations, The Dioctipoid is totally amazing and hugely challenging.
It looks fantastic! Being a self confessed puzzle fanatic, I knew on seeing the Dioctipoid that it was one for me. This is perfect for those who enjoy a little brainteaser, and like to test their mental agility, dexterity and challenge your puzzle solving skills. It really is a great brainteaser for all ages, and not to mention highly addictive!
The Dioctipoid comes in many stages. The 1.0 comprises of 6 different coloured “stars” around 12 white diamonds. This is the easiest of the current range of DIOCTIPOIDS to solve, but it will keep you guessing for a long time – I have yet to complete it! Once3 I have it fully complete, I am looking forward to going up a level to 2.0! This comprises of 6 different coloured segments with no common white shapes. This is the harder of the current range of DIOCTIPOIDS to solve.
So, how do you play the Dioctipoid? Here are some instructions:-
• Mix the puzzle and hopefully solve it
• Rotate one segment at a time
• Rotate around FREE segment
• Each time one segment has been rotated, re-orientate the Dioctipoid in the “holding” hand and rotate the free segment with the other.
• Continue until solved - if you can!
It may sound a little confusing, but honestly, it’s not! Once you get the hang of it, the moves are easy, and if my 6 year old can work it – so can you! Each Dioctipoid comes assembled complete (in correct colour order) and is complete with a Dioctipoid stand, in its own dedicated box. They cost £18.49, and will without a doubt be worth every penny!
