Gorgeous Personalised Woven Labels from Easy2name arrived in the post last week with ‘Handmade by RelentlesslyPurple.com’ on them!

For now, you can enter below for a chance to win your own personalised woven labels, read on to find out more!

Personalised Woven Labels - Review & Giveaway

 

How To Order

The ordering process with Easy2name is so quick and simple with a wide range of options and label types. Once you have selected the type and quantity you would like to order you can then personalise your label.

 

Personalised Woven Labels

I chose the 23mm woven labels over the 12mm as they will mostly be stitched onto my crocheted items which tend to be quite big/chunky. I decided to go with a flower motif and chose my text ‘Handmade By RelentlesslyPurple.com’ across 3 lines. Then I selected font 4 as it is quite similar to the font on my blog header.

Easy2name have a wide selection of colours available for letting and labels. I decided to have my woven labels in purple with cream lettering. The labels arrived really quickly and look so lovely, I can’t wait to finish my huge granny square blanket and add one to it! These will definitely come in handy, especially when I make items for the girls.

Personalised Woven Labels

Last year a girl convinced Eva the scarf I made wasn’t hers and it was never returned even though it was completely different to anyone else’s scarf. If it had one of these on there would have been no dispute and Eva would still have her scarf. They will definitely be used to avoid situations like that again.

Easy2name make it so easy to name and personalise a range of items, I recommend taking a look at their website to see what else is available. If you don’t win the giveaway below but would like to order some personalised woven labels yourself, then see below for the price list.

Healthy Home-Cooking With Sensio Home Stainless Steel 3-Tier Steamer Review & Giveaway!

We’re enjoying healthy home-cooking with the Sensio Home stainless steel 3-tier steamer. This powerful 800W, 6.8-litre electric stainless steel steamer is £29.99 on Amazon. The Sensio Home 3-Tier Steamer offers a healthier, fresher way to steam meat, fish, rice and vegetables.

Sensio Home Steamer Review

How It Works

It works by continuously boiling water and releasing steam which thoroughly cooks the food in the baskets above. The best part is it cooks your food without the use of extra oils or fats. Steaming food retains vitamins and nutrients, a much healthier way to cook than frying or roasting.

Sesio home 3-tier steamer

You can place your food in any of the 3 containers how you like. Simply fill the unit using the handy indicator on the front to monitor the level and turn the power on. With a handy 60 minute mechanical timer you can cook your food easily. The stackable containers are easy to remove and clean and my favourite part, they are dishwasher safe!

Healthy Home-Cooking

You can cook so many different vegetables in the steamer along with chicken, fish, rice and eggs, perfect for quick healthy home-cooking. We had a 3-tier steamer a few years ago that was very well used until it finally died and we forgot to replace it. I absolutely love having a steamer again, this Sensio Home 3-Tier Steamer is brilliant. It takes no time at all to cook everything we need for a delicious home-cooked meal we can all eat.

Healthy home-cooking

I love the taste of steamed vegetables, you really can tell the difference. Rice comes out lovely and steamed chicken is absolutely amazing! I am fussy when it comes to eating meat, in all honesty, it has to be cooked just right. I like chicken but if the texture isn’t right it puts me off and I can’t eat it. With steamed chicken, it is juicy and packed full of flavour every time and with the timer, you can trust it is fully cooked.

Watering Globes Giveaway & Review – Plantpal

This week we have a Plantpal watering globes giveaway having received a large set of 3 to review. These watering globes automatically water your plants for up to 2 weeks. A great idea for keeping plants watered whilst on holiday. We have been trying out the Plantpal watering globes over the last few days. It is interesting to see how steadily the water leaves the globe. The watering globes really give you confidence your plants are being watered correctly.

watering globes giveaway

Watering Globes

Plantpal watering globes are suitable for year round use. They prevent over watering during winter and under watering in the summer. This makes plants healthier and stronger as well as growing twice as much as normal watering. The globes contain an intelligent patent pending control moisture sensor that doesn’t require batteries. It’s always nice not having to rely on batteries for everything as they often run out when you least expect it. There is no risk of that with the globes, as long as you follow the instructions correctly these watering globes are reusable too.

Plantpal instructions

The globes are easy to fill and have a separate water control spike which eliminates soil clogging up the globe, a common issue in other watering globes. The capillary wicks need to be moistened thoroughly in a glass of water before using. It is so easy to use and fill the Plantpal watering globes. These fantastic watering globes make great gifts for plant keepers that will last for years.

Vremi Silicone Baking Cups and 3-in-1 Apple Slicer Review & Giveaway!

We were sent some Vremi Silicone Baking Cups and an Apple Slicer to review, we love food and baking so we couldn’t wait to check them out. Anyone who has been keeping up with my recent tweets will know since replacing my cooker I have gone on a baking binge. The girls and I love to bake and decided to put the baking cups to the test first!

Vremi Silicone Baking Cups

Vremi Baking Cups

The Vremi silicone baking cups are £13.99 for a pack of 24 Multi-coloured & BPA Free Round Cake Moulds for Cupcakes and Muffins. The baking cups are bright and colourful in pink, yellow, green and blue. The baking cups are non-stick as well as BPA free. They are oven and freezer safe and much to my delight dishwasher safe too!

Butterfly Muffins

Ok so my butterfly muffins may not look that amazing but the fact they came out of the baking cups so easily really is! We’ve had similar ones before that have been tricky to remove the cake/muffin from. The Vremi ones I had no issue with at all and would definitely recommend them for anyone who loves to bake. The came out of the dishwasher spotless and will no doubt get plenty of use.

Vremi 3-in-1 Apple Slicer

Vremi 3-in-1 apple slicer

The Vremi 3-in-1 Apple Slicer is £7.99 on Amazon and comes with 3 attachments for apples, potatoes and mangos. The blades are interchangeable and so easy to change. Apple slicing blades cut an apple into 8 wedges, perfect for my girls snacks. The potato slicer is great for homemade French fries and cuts 36 of them! If you love mangos then the mango corer is perfect as it removes the seed and slices the fruit.

apple sliced

I love how easy the slicer is to use with lovely big soft grip handles meaning the girls can help. The blades are so much sharper than my previous apple slicer and slice straight through! I’ve binned my previous apple slicer (even though it was purple!) because the Vremi one is much easier to use.

If you love the sound of these fab Vremi products then enter the Gleam competition below for a chance to win both!

Christmas Jumper Giveaway – Not For Ponies

We have a fantastic Christmas Jumper Giveaway thanks to Not For Ponies who also sent us some to review! We also have a matching adult & child Christmas jumper to giveaway in time for Christmas. I’m not a fan of most Christmas jumpers in all honesty but I do love the ones we were sent by Not For Ponies, festive but not ridiculous.

Not For Ponies is all about fun quirky graphics and playful prints. All items are designed and made in the UK!

Izzy received a super cute polar bear Christmas jumper – £16 and a pink unicorn top – £9 for Eva (naturally). I chose the men’s blue reindeer Christmas jumper – £28 for myself as I preferred the design haha! I really like the designs available and Eva’s t-shirt is definitely perfect for her.

Christmas Jumper Giveaway - Izzy is wearing a red polar bear jumper, Eva is wearing a pink unicorn top & I am wearing a blue reindeer jumper

The jumpers are soft and warm with generous sizing, I’m wearing a small in the photo’s above with plenty of room. Izzy is wearing 3-4 years which I was surprised to find fits her as she is currently wearing 4-5 years. Eva’s unicorn t-shirt is a size 7-8 and definitely has plenty of room. Good job as she has already begged the Mr to hurry up and wash it so she can wear it again!

Christmas Jumpers and top

We love NotForPonies.com and will definitely be buying from them in future knowing their products are great quality and sizes. Not having to wear a garish Christmas jumper is always a win for me. Getting Christmassy with the girls for our photo’s (even if I do have bags under my eyes!) was fun too.

Personalised Nametags From My Nametags & A Set To Giveaway!

My Nametags sent both girls a set off personalised nametags which they both designed themselves! Nametags are a must especially when you have children of school age. Eva is known for losing her School Uniform and we have spent hundreds replacing it all. Whilst that does seem to have stopped this year I’m still not taking any chances so I jumped at the chance to review a set of nametags for both girls.

Ordering From My Nametags

Ordering personalised nametags from My Nametags is nice and simple with just a few steps. My Nametags have a range of options and nametags available including Design your own for £11.95 per set of tags + £1.00 P&P.

We chose coloured Stickers and designed our own. Choosing this option lets you enter up to 3 lines of text, a font & font colour. Moving on to the design of the sticker you can pick an icon from an extensive list. You can then pick a background and add to your basket.

Our Personalised Nametags

Eva’s Nametags

Eva - nametags

Eva choose to add her first & last name along with her class in the handwriting font in pink. She then chose a dog icon which reminds her of Saphy along with a flowery pink background. They turned out really well and she loves them. We have already started adding them to her uniform & school bag and they look great. I’ve blurred out the girls last names for this post.

Izzy’s Nametags

personalised nametags

Izzy decided on her name in handwriting font in pink too. She then choose a strawberry on a field background. Whilst Izzy isn’t in nursery yet nametags are still useful especially for things like books! She couldn’t wait to stick her name in her new Peppa Pig’s adventure Brochure book.
