  • Yummy treats from Sous Chef

In the run up to Christmas, stock up on some yummy treats to enjoy with your family. Sous Chef is a great place to shop for interesting food items from all around the world. We’ve been enjoying their Pastificio Del Colle Rainbow Striped Farfalle and Fiasconaro Pistachio Cream which are both fun and delicious — they’d make great stocking fillers too.

  • Take time for self-improvement with Meee in a minute books

When you have a bit of free time, like you will hopefully have over the Chirstmas holidays, it’s a good opportunity to do some self-improvements. We all have things about our lives that we’d like to change and improve. The Meee in a minute series of books consists of three books with 60 ways to improve your life in 60 seconds. Choose from Meee in a minute, Meee in a work minute or Meee in a family minute and learn lots of tips and strategies to improve these areas of life. The family one is extra useful over Christmas!

Best Ways to Entertain Yourself at Home A Mum Reviews
  • A new board game for screen free entertainment

Christmas is a time to put away your phones and tablets and connect with your family by doing fun things together. Playing board games together is a great way to spend quality time together and having fun in a screen-free way. I highly recommend the game Blokus if you haven’t checked it out yet. It’s lots of fun and a family favourite or ours. We had to search all over Stockholm to find it in Sweden but here in the U.K., it’s readily available from Amazon.

I’ve made a personalised cushion with a pattern that is my own design and have also created some personalised jigsaws which have been a huge hit with the family.

  • Handmade coloured beakers from Jerpoint Glass Studio

Why not go for different colours as that will make it easy to keep track of which glass is whose which means less washing up! These coloured beakers are a great size and lovely to drink from.
