Kents kitchen
Kents kitchen madras meal kit £2.50 each
As some of you know I have had the kents kitchen meal kits in my degustabox uk before and how much I love them and the idea behind them just add meat with the meal kit and like magic you have a tasty delicious packed with flavour meal.







BAHLSEN
bahlsen choco leibniz milk chocolate £1.79 each
bahlsen choco leibniz milk chocolate n caramel £1.79 each

These tasty chocolate biscuits are tasty and even the caramel ones was delightful full of chocolaty flavour and sweetness your be sure to enjoy these as a nice treat they are abit of a luxury so far to good to waste.
I shared mine with my hubby and little girl and they loved them and wanted more.







EISBURG
EISBURG  £3.49 per bottle
Thinking about giving up drink? or are you going to be driving this christmas or new year?
This is a non alcoholic wine it wasnt my cup of tea but i aint a big fan of wine anyway.
But I love the idea of non alcoholic wine which does taste like wine meaning those of you who do like wine who are driving this christmas can still get the taste  without being over the limit to drive.
( it is available in rosé, chardonnay,cabernet sauvignon, and riesling) 


FRYLIGHT INFUSE GARLIC
Frylight infuse garlic spray oil £2.00 per bottle
no need to pour oil when you are cooking , we have all done it pouring oil into a frying pan and poured to much by mistake. with this spray oil your troubles have gone spray as much as you need and your ready to cook, Also it is infused with garlic meaning the oil taste good so if your cooking chicken it will be infused with garlic you can also use it to make a low fat garlic bread.
(For those of you who dont like garlic Frylight also do a chilli infused oil)







POPCHIPS
popchips £1.79 per pack
pop chips are tasty and packed with flavour i had the bbq flavour which was yummy I enjoyed them and buy far one of the most flavourous crisp ever, i love the fact my fingers wasnt greasy after and that there was less than 100 calories not that i count my calories i love my food to much.








Gloworm 
Gloworm cans £1.50 each
Omg when i opened my degustabox uk I was amazed when i saw these you mix them with alcohol.
Gloworm is the first premium mixer of its kind, specifically blended to compliment a selection of spirits.
the unique formula is sugar free and taurine-free i love the idea of these and the flavours sound great cant wait to try them over christmas.
The flavours are as follows 





Raspberry and orris  - perfect with Vodka









ginger and lemon grass - perfect with bourbon














Cucumber and apple - perfect with Gin
















Pear spice and lime - perfect with rum












BONNE MAMAN 
Bonne maman £2.30 a jar 
bonne maman is a coarse orange marmalade is fresh, zingy.

I am Not a big fan of marmalade but my hubby is and he said he will be taking this one to his mums to eat over christmas, I am guessing he is gonna put it on his toast on christmas morning.









Overall view this month.

At first i was a little disappointed that there wasnt any christmas items in the box but come to think of it i dont mind so much because the mixers will go down well at christmas. plus whatever happens i will still have chocolates etc at christmas anyway so not having christmas items in the box wasnt really a big deal.

I really loved getting the kent kitchen kit again i adore the flavours in the meal kit and love how well the curry comes out just add chicken and you are enjoying a nice curry ar a low cost even though you have to do the washing up you will not be spending alot.

I wasnt to keen on the non alcoholic wine as I am not keen on wine anyway  but I am sure a few of you will like it because i know alot of you will be drinking at christmas or off to christmas parties or maybe even giving up drinking in the new year.

overall I liked this months box and the bits i wont eat or drink I know my hubby will as he loves his marmalade etc.

So there you have it guys and girls that was my degustabox uk this month.
Do you get degustabox uk delivered each month?
dont forget to use my discount code if you want to try a degusta box you can cancel your subscription at anytime.

Debenhams christmas wishlist 2014






Debenhams christmas wishlist 2014

We all know christmas is just around the corner, so i thought hey why not blog about a kids christmas wish list I am a big kid at heart but ain't we all.
We know recently one of the bestseller has been disney frozen which has sold more than any other disney ever.

As some of you may know i have a little girl who is 5,her wish list consisted off mainly disney frozen items which isn't surprising i am 23 and must admit i kinda do like the film as to be one of the best recent disney films there is, even do i do love some of the good old classics like snow white and cinderella.



Anyway I have decided insted of doing my daughters christmas wishlist i thought id mix it up a little and do something wacky, as a big kid my self i thought id do a wishlist for toys i would ask santa for if i was still a child.
I have to admit i am bit of a big kid and still love lego and other things even my daughter gets me to play with her my little pony's and teddies etc.

IF I WAS STILL A CHILD I WOULD ASK SANTA FOR.......

Hello kitty
 CD player boom box £35 

Teksta 
Kitty   £60

Hellokitty
 Kids safe headphones  £15

Tatty teddy 
Make a bear   £18

Melissa and doug
 friendship stamping set  £9 

Snazaroo 
Unisex facepainting kit £10

Transformers 
Bumble bee rc car £40

Lego
 Lego city police crook pursuit £5





So there you have it my wishlist if i was still a child, I am sure most other girls would love this wish list even boys i am a true believer in toys are for all sex's as as a child i used to play with my brothers toy cars, and he used to play with my barbie dolls. 

Let your kids be kids n play with whatever toys they like my daughter loves fireman sam doesn't mean she is a tomboy just means she likes different things and is exploring as children do.

So go ahead a this year let your child play with something different why not let your little boy push around a buggy with a fireman sam teddy in , or let him play with a barbie doll or let your daughter play with wrestling figures in my eyes all toys are unisex we need to stop being silly and just live a little.

Sorry for the little rant there!

I would d love to know what toys you would want for christmas if you was still a child.
What toys was your favorite when you was little?
Did you play with toys that other people used to label as girls or boys toys?
Would you let your child play with a toy that is aimed at the opposite sex?

I would love to know your views on this and even if you dont agree with my views id still love to hear your views.


Catch you soon
