Father's Day Gift Idea - Monopoly Empire

Hi Guys!

Today I have another instalment in my Father's Day gift ideas series and it is all focused around having fun and spending time together.

One of my favourite things to do as a family is after dinner to sit down and play a good board game, so this new version of the ever popular classic monopoly looks awesome!

In the Monopoly Empire game*, players can own the world's top brands. After choosing one of the uniquely branded tokens, players move around the board, and start building their empires. The game is a race to the top as players buy their favourite brands one by one and fill their towers. Players can own famous brands, including Nerf, Transformers, Levi's, and more. Opponents collect rent from their rivals; the higher their tower, the more they can charge! For two to four players, the first player to fill their tower with billboards wins!

The game retails at £19.99 available at games/toy retailers and is a guaranteed family hit!

Let me know your favourite board games and monopoly editions below, I'd love to hear them.

Father's Day Gift Idea - Mighty Fine Honeycomb

Hi Guys!

I hope you are all well.

Today is the next segment of my Father's Day Gift Ideas series and we are going to be talking food, specifically sweet treats!

Mighty Fine Honeycomb are a company that started off selling adventurously-flavoured, handmade chocolates from a small shop in Camden Market and did incredibly well, most of all with their honeycomb varieties which were selling quicker than they could make them. This led the team to dedicate over a 1000 hours to perfecting their recipe to eventually relaunch as the finest honeycomb company this side of anywhere!

Their range breaks down into a selection of honeycomb dips which are gorgeous honeycomb pieces dipped in chocolate, all handmade and from natural ingredients. Then there are the honeycomb bars which are bars of honeycomb enrobed in tasty chocolate. Both product lines come in different flavours such as salted caramel, milk chocolate, dark chocolate and peanut butter. 

I've tried the salted caramel honeycomb dips* which were gorgeous, they give a satisfying crunch and the milk chocolate is infused with caramel meaning the whole bite is just this amazingly indulgent mouth experience. Yummy!! The same can be said for the milk chocolate honeycomb bar*, the flavour, the texture and general tasting experience is delicious and I wouldn't hesitate to have it again quite frankly!

You can view the whole range and read more about the company on www.mightyfine.co and if you want to make a purchase you can do so online or using the handy store locator.

Father's Day Gift Idea - Wilkinson Sword Hydro 5 Sensitive Razor

Hi Everyone!

How are you all doing? 

Today we have the next post in my Father's Day gift ideas series and it is going to be discussing the new Wilkinson Sword Hydro 5 Sensitive Razor*. This razor has been specifically designed for men with sensitive skin, prone to irritation and is dematologist tested. 

The razor comes with five blades and has a water activated gel reservoir with aloe vera in it that lubricates each shave for more comfort and less irritation. With a flip of the thumb the gel reservoir flips back to expose all of the five blades helping to trim in tight spaces.

The five ultraglide blades come with innovative skin guards which help smooth the surface of the skin and lessen any drag and therefore the likelihood of irritation, making it perfect for sensitive skin. 

This is a really nice option for any loved ones that want to try out a new razor and that have suffered from irritation while shaving before using a standard model that isn't specially geared towards sensitive skin types. 

You can purchase the razor at most major retailers and the RRP is £11.99 with additional refill blades available to purchase separately. 

I hope you found this idea useful and don't forget to check out my other posts in the Father's Day gift ideas series.

Father's Day Gift Idea - Lotil Original Cream

Hi Everyone!

Hope you are having a nice week so far.

Today is going to be another Father's Day gift idea for you and it is for Lotil's Original Cream*. I should point out that I have included it in my gift guide series but it can be used by men or women and is great for anyone suffering from dry skin.

In terms of practical products this is a great one, you can use it everyday and it is super cheap but with great benefits for the skin. 

Lotil have been going for over 100 years now and their original cream gently rehydrates dry skin to provide maximum moisture and protection. It helps to heal dry, chapped or cracked skin and also helps to guard against potential infections due to the anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-sceptic properties. 

The formula is very rich and hydrating but importantly non-greasy in texture meaning it absorbs in nicely and gets to work on your skin quickly. You will get the best results if you do incorporate it into your daily routine as is often the case with moisturising creams and to apply you simply massage into the skin until it is absorbed, after you have washed your face or before going to bed. 

You can pick up a tube in all good pharmacies, I'd recommend checking out Boots or Lloyds Pharmacy in particular and Boots sell a 50ml tube for £3.59 or a 114ml tub for £6.29 which is the even more cost efficient option. 

I hope you liked this post, let me know if you have tried out Lotil by leaving me a comment below.

My Warner Bros Father's Day Experience

Hi Guys!

Today is a super exciting new post about an event I went to on Thursday ran by Warner Bros specially for Father's Day. There was an exclusive screening at their private theatre in Holborn of the film Creed and I was invited to go along with a plus one so I took my boyfriend for a nice little date night out and we had such a great time.

We went straight after work from our office and just hopped on the tube a few stops and before we knew it we arrived at Warner Bros head quarters.



After being given our visitor passes we went into a room full of tasty snacks and drinks where we had the chance to network with other bloggers and see what everyone is up to.

Then at 7pm we went into the private preview theatre with luxurious comfy seats to watch Creed which was a really awesome film in the Rocky series about boxing.

After the event we were given an amazing goody bag full of Warner Bros films for us to watch at home together and a special Creed scarf. It really was a fantastic night and I feel so lucky that I was able to experience it, going to the cinema or theatre with family and friends is always such good fun and a great way to spend quality time together.

What are you guys up to for Father's Day? Let me know in the comments below!

Father's Day Gift Idea - Caledonian Brewery Craft Ales

Hi Everyone!

Today is another instalment in my father's day gift ideas series and I'm going to be sharing two recently launched craft beers by the Edinburgh based Caledonian Brewery.

Craft beers have really taken off in the past couple of years with microbreweries and beer festivals becoming really popular. Craft beers offer an alternative to the usual varieties, all giving tasty new flavours and drinking experiences, perfect for a present for your dad this father's day!

First there is the Three Hop craft lager*, a deliciously flavoursome and crisp lager that is brewed with three of Europe's finest hops from some of the great brewing regions across the continent. It is 4.5% ABV and has spicy and herbal aromas with notes of honey and mint.

Then there is the Coast to Coast polished bronze ale*, brewed with American hops imported from the Yakima Valley in Washington State and then married with British East Coast maritime malt. It's a well balanced and characterful beer with citrus aromas and flavours complimented by a smooth and rounded bitter finish.

Both beers are really quite delicious and very different from each other, a great addition to the existing range at Caledonian Brewery. You can purchase either beer at £2 per bottle in major retailers nationwide and some pubs and bars so keep an eye out!

You can read more information about Caledonian Brewery and their products over on http://www.caledonianbeer.com/.

Father's Day Gift Idea - Braun Beard Trimmer

Hi Everyone!

I hope you are all having a nice week.

Today is going to be focusing on a Father's Day gift idea, the Braun beard trimmer*. Whether your dad has a full on beard or is styling designer stubble it's a really great idea for a present that is both practical and inexpensive.

The trimmer can be used wet or dry, comes with a detachable trimming comb for flexibility and also has a precision comb with 20 length settings to choose from so your dad can pick whichever one fits with their preference. The ultra sharp stainless steel blades cut easily through long or thick hair easily as well and are lifetime lasting so wont need replacement.

The trimmer comes with rechargeable batteries and on a full charge can be used for 50 minutes of cordless constant power which I think is pretty good. It's also super easy to clean, you just run it under a tap and rinse off.

The beard trimmer is available at most major retailers for around £40 and if you want to read up more on the product you can head over to: http://uk.braun.com/en-gb.
