ROYAL BRITISH LEGION CHRISTMAS JUMPER

A couple of weeks back I was asked if I wanted to review something from the Christmas range on the Poppy Shop website. It's a shop that gives all their profits to the Royal British Legion. The first product that caught my eyes was their stunning unisex Christmas jumper. I think it was the pattern with the red poppies that interested me, as well as the fact that I've never really owned a proper Christmas jumper and I was so excited to receive it. When I received, I was really pleased at the thickness and the quality. It looked just as lovely in person as it did on the website.

It's an unisex Christmas jumper which means my partner could wear it too - if he wanted too. However, he's a bit of a ba humbug around Christmas time. On another note, it's a really cosy and comfortable jumper, which is perfect for this time of year since the temperature has really dropped. It's a little bit oversized which makes it even cosier. There are a fair few choices of sizes, from Small to 3XL. I would also say it's true to size.

When I was contacted to review a product from their website, I actually learnt something new. I didn't know that the Royal British Legion had an online store that sells products throughout the year. There's a great range of products, from keyrings, diaries, keyrings to clothing. I think I would be overly pleased with their other products since I am really pleased with the jumper that I've received.

One huge reason to shop on the Poppy Shop website is that all profits from the shop go straight to the Royal British Legion to help our armed forces and families. It's such an important and great charity to support. But not just once a year, throughout the year too.

BABY DOVE REVIEW

There are so many baby skincare products out nowadays, and I'm all up for trying new products out. I remember when I heard about the Baby Dove range, and I was super excited to try them out - not just on Freddie, but for the eldest two and myself too. I've been given a few Baby Dove products to try out, and although I have tried some of their products in the past (that were amazing btw), I've not tried these ones that I've been sent. 

Freddie's skin can seem quite sensitive at times, especially this time of year when the weather is colder. He also has awful nappy rashes when he's teething, and I'm always buying sensitive or fragrance-free wet wipes when he does have a sore bum. So although I am all up for trying out new products, as I said above, I am wary about the ingredients in the products and if it's suitable for my baby boy's skin. 

Did you know that baby skin is much thinner than adult skin? It's more likely to lose moisture and therefore is prone to dryness. That's when Baby Dove comes in. Their new baby care products are dermatologist tested, paediatrically approved and safe to use every day, even on newborns. Baby Dove has two ranges which are: Rich Moisture range and a Sensitive Moisture (fragrance-free) range. 

Firstly, I received the Baby Dove Head to Toe wash from the Sensitive Moisture range. It's fragrance-free, and it helps retain your baby's natural skin moisture. It comes in a 400ml bottle with a pump which I find really handy when you're bathing babies and kids. Usually Freddie will share a bath with Mia and Ellie, so having the pump to get the shampoo/bath wash out is one less stressful thing to do. As well as the girls being older, they can also use the pump so they can wash themselves. 

Another part of their range are wet wipes. There are 50 sheets of wipes in their parks, and I received one from their Rich Moisture range and one from their Sensitive Range. Both have 0% alcohol and are hypoallergenic. The Sensitive Moisture wipes are fragrance-free and are gentle as water with immediate moisturising care. I've been using these on Freddie, and they've been great. They're not rough to wipe with and are really soft on skin. They're also suitable for newborns. The Rich Moisture wet wipes, again in a pack of 50, are soft and gentle for your little one's bottom. They are slightly fragranced and have a clean smell. The wipes leave baby's skin moistured and soft - which I have also found on Freddie after using these wet wipes. 

Overall, I am really pleased with these products. I will continue to buy products from the Baby Dove range. Not only do they have these products, but there are also loads of other products available from Baby Dove too.

MORRISONS - THE ONE-STOP CHRISTMAS SHOP

It's crazy how close we are to Christmas. I say every single year, the year has flown by and I must admit, I am panicking a little bit about Christmas shopping. I've not finished yet, I've still got a few family members to buy for, as well as a few extra bits for the kids. Morrisons have kindly sent me a box full of goodies and Christmas cards. I received some mince pies, all-butter fudge (which was eaten by my partner before I managed to take a photo!), Disney plushes, a cosy throw, DVD, sweets and their range of Christmas cards that are available in their stores across the country.

Morrisons have become a one-stop Christmas shop that sells pretty much anything. From DVDs, home furnishings, sparkly decorations and much more, you'll find it. Not forgetting your food and drinks too. Having a shop that sells everything makes your Christmas shop ten times easier than going from shop to shop. We all know how quick the hours go in the day, so having that store that has everything for you makes everything easier. Especially having kids too, the last thing we want to do is taking them from one shop to the next, as we know how bored they get - which then makes the shopping trip even more difficult and stressful.

If you're looking for a shop to finish your Christmas presents and your Christmas food shop, then Morrisons is the place to go. It's finally good to see that it's not just a food store anymore. My partner and I got to our local Morrisons store to do our weekly food shop often, and we've never been disappointed with the food and other bits we have bought from there. My favourite aisle to go down is where all the other bits are such as kitchen accessories and their seasonal offers and products. It's nice to see different things instead of just food.

You can definitely shop your Christmas in Morrisons, as well as throughout the year you can shop a cosy night in with some of the items I received. Such as the cosy purple throw (which is really soft and warm by the way), DVD and delicious treats. Putting that aside, Morrisons also have a fantastic range of cards. I've received a lot of cards, and I am a huge stationery fan, I love anything from cards, pens to notepads. I've picked out my favourite cards and going to start writing and delivering them next week. They have everyone covered, from your grandparents, nieces and nephews to your pets too.

Morrisons surely is the one-stop shop to go this Christmas!
