Getting a tan…it’s a minefield! We are all aware of the risks that the sun can have on our skin, and that’s when the sun is shining - it’s not been great recently has it? Other options such as tan machines are equally hazardous.

Going the fake tan route is full of pitfalls too; tango skin, brown hands, ruined white tops, streaks and patches….

There is another way, and it presents no risks to your health and will not make you look daft.

Dream Remedies offer some really excellent tan pills, produced using only natural, herbal ingredients. The beauty about a tan pill is it gives an all-over tan - no white bits anymore!

1 months treatment, thirty pills cost under £15, that’s pretty good when you weigh up the costs of sun creams, fake tan or tanning booths.

If you want a tan - a natural looking tan - and do not want any health risks attached, these tanning pills have to be considered.

This Summer, be sensible. Stay out of the sun / tan booth, but glow with a healthy tan too!

Sometimes, a product hits Iconic Gifts Towers and is met with huge excitement. iPieces from family favourite Jumbo Games is one such product.

Turn your iPad into a playing board and get stuck into Snakes and Ladders, Air Hockey, Game of Goose and Fishing.

The idea is simple enough, but when you throw in Apple’s technology with sound and visual effects, the traditional games come to life.

We tried out the fishing game and were more than impressed. I loved the version of this that floated around our childhoods, but the game is revolutionised using the iPad.

The game play is unexpected and addictive. Just as important, it’s very simple to get the hang of, meaning little ones can join in the fun too. Just catch your fish (the most wins) and place them in your ‘bucket’…but watch out for the pesky heron!

Major selling points for these games include no more missing pieces, a perfect travel accessory for kids and the price. All these games cost £9.99, around the same price as the games in original format, but with much more whistles and bells.

For some time now, this has been the sole use of the iPad. That should give you some idea just how good they are!

We were recently sent our review copy of The Logo board game, 2011’s best selling board game and one we’ve read lots about over the past year. If you are unaware of what the game is all about then here’s a brief summary:

It’s for 2 – 6 players from the age of 12 and up. The idea is to get round the board the fastest by answering as many questions correctly as you can about consumer brands and products you would have come into contact with throughout your lifetime.

It’s inspired and a game that really makes you realise the impact and power of advertising. There are a range of questions from naming the brand by looking at the logo, to more detailed, tougher questions relating to flavors of famous food products to where logos appear on products.
