Six of The Best 2022 Black Friday Deals on Amazon Right Now!

AD 07:27:00

Good Morning Lovelies,

Black Friday is nearly upon us and that means two things. One: Christmas is nearly here. Two: The world of deals is about to be launched. Amazon is already ahead of the game this year, as the team have launched a whole week worth of exciting offers. Especially on their brilliant featured brands including Ultrasport, Amazon Basics, Eono and Umi, who make items for all.

After having a little bit of an exploration, I have found six of the best deals from the foursome that I had to share with you all. I am obsessed with the following and will definitely be keeping an eye out for them on the big day. These include…

Amazon Basics Stand Mixer, £50.59: Been inspired by The Great British Bake Off? Well, it is time to get busy in the kitchen with this fantastic offer. Reduced by nearly 50%, this mixer will have you whipping up mince pies in no time at all. Who says shop brought is best?

Amazon Basics Car Bucket Seat, £53.89: I had never seen one of these animal car seats before this one, but I think it is a fantastic idea. There is nothing more off putting than an animal running around or jumping about when in the car. This will keep them cosy and calm, as well as being safe, when on those long driving journeys home during the festive period.

Umi Portable DAB/FM Radio, £22.09: Want to enjoy the world cup in peace this year? Find a quiet spot and use this radio to tune in. Or simply pop on the Christmas stations and dance around the home as you decorate, wrap and party hard.

Amazon Basics High-Density Round Foam Roller, £16.89: Christmas can be a very stressful time on the body. It is so important to rest and relax during the whole period. This roller will have you stretching out those tired and achy muscles, having you ready for round two of gatherings and discos before you know it.

Umi Double Goose Feather and Down 10.5 Tog Duvet, £87.99: Who doesn’t want to snuggle up, away from the cold weather, with a Christmas film and snacks during the festive period? The Umi duvet will keep you warm, snug and cosy, becoming an item of pure jealousy overall. Wrap yourself up like an actual present in it.

Amazon Basics Hardside Suitcase, £74.79: Going away for the big day? Make sure to keep all your items and presents safe with this hardside suitcase, which has four swivel wheels, safe storage and a handy long handle that will make the journey a breeze.

Amazon has loads more fabulous ideas at the moment on their Black Friday deals, so make sure to take a look. You will not want to miss out on them! What have you got your eye on this year lovelies?

Blogmas Day 18: Let This Perfect Christmas Tree Skirt From Dunelm Into Your Home

AD 08:30:00

Hey Lovelies,

A while ago I was kindly invited to go to the Dunelm Christmas show. Way back in July, I saw the delights in which the team would be bringing to the Christmas home and table. Lots of items caught my eye, but there was one that I couldn’t help but fall head over heels for.

As someone who loves to decorate their tree with lots of bright colours, this year I wanted a skirt for it. I wanted the perfect one. One with all the trimmings. I wanted Santa and all his merry men. Whilst lots of shops had them, it was Dunelm’s though that won in my eyes.

The team were amazing at helping me source one, after months of looking for it in-store. Quickly I placed it around the bottom of my tree when it arrived on the weekend and now it makes me forever happy. Sadly though, I won’t be there on Christmas Day to enjoy it with all the presents around it. There so, we have made it our mission to make it the centrepiece for Christmas Day’s to come.

With the classic colours, a Santa and lots more festive friends on it, the blanket goes easily around the tree, with a simple tie around strap to help ease it together. Once in place, it makes any colour tree really glow. We have a new white one this year and honestly, I don’t think it could have made it look any better than it has right now.

To some, it may look a little bit Christmas overload, but to me, I adore it for all the colours and characters. I love that people will be able to put their presents around it and instantly smile when they see it. When my brother spotted it, after it was opened, he knew it was something that our family home would have in it. We like to go over the top and this is just right for us.

I can’t wait to come home and to make sure that this is put away with the other special items, we are saving for Christmas’ of the future. This will be handed down and stored for years to come. White tree optional.

To find out more about Dunelm’s Christmas decorations and to see the skirt online, head to their website. There is so much to enjoy, I promise you will not be disappointed!

Blogmas Day Four: Get Stuck Into These Games and Toys With Amazon This Christmas

AD 08:30:00

Hey Lovelies,

Christmas is the perfect time of year to get out a family board game. With everyone around, there is finally enough people to play and a whole load of fun to be had.

After seeing the selection of toys and features they had on offer at their Christmas show, Amazon has been the place for gaming to me. I can’t get enough of them and my family will be selecting from a bunch of them to play this year. Discover below a few of my favourites that you too can get your hands on and play lovelies:

Pictionary Air: Forget putting pen to paper! The new Pictionary Air allows you to use your phone to see what the person is drawing. Loads more fun and without the chance of a family member throwing the pen at your head (little Friends joke here), there are many reasons why this is great for all to play on Christmas Day.

Monopoly with Voice Banking: No longer are the paper notes or credit cards needed. Monopoly has taken the Amazon Alexa and recreated it to store all your gaming money needs. Super easy to set up and use, the new methods mean that more time can be spent playing and less time dealing. Pass Go every time on this board game lovelies.

Owleez: Not really a board game, but one the whole family will be waiting to see come to life. This tiny bird takes a few moments to set up and once ready will fly high in the sky. Make it a game by taking timings from everyone and giving a prize to the winner.

Nerf Fortnite Blaster: Get everyone a Nerf fun and have a blast around the Christmas tree this year. Make the ultimate teams up and embark on a battle to end all battles. Best to do this one before eating all the turkey though.

LEGO Hidden Dimensions Sets: More fun for the little ones or the big kids in your life, forget about building up a jigsaw and make this instead. Once complete, you can use an app to make it come to life. Great for recreating your own LEGO Movie setting.

L.O.L. Surprise! Winter Disco Bigger Surprise: Who doesn't know a little person in their lives who isn't obsessed with L.O.L. Dolls? In our family, there are many people we all know who would go mad for this special surprise, which is exclusive to Amazon this Christmas. Hidden from all, it is going to be a treat for all when finally opened.

Linkimals Smooth Moves Sloth: Working alongside a bunch of friends, this little Sloth dances, sings and lights up on its own and with a crew of other toys. Fun for big and little kids to get stuck into. Especially if you are like my mum, who now wants one after spotting it in our local toy shop.

Treasure X Kings Gold Treasure Tomb: Filled with mini figurines, this little tomb will be spent being played with for hours. Honestly, my niece would have adored this when she was small. I know as well that my little nephew will if he sees it. Gather round and have the ultimate family battle with this golden delight.

There are so many games I could have added, including Santa Banter, which is what we have invested in, but I hope that these will make your day extra special. What will you be choosing to play during the festive season lovelies?
