Grab a Disney Store Bargain this weekend
When it comes to looking at the most popular toys this Christmas, it is safe to say that products from the Disney Store will be right there at the top of the list. The perennial favourites Mickey and Minnie Mouse never lose their popularity, and seem to find a brand new audience every year. (My niece has recently become obsessed with Minnie Mouse – taking a cuddly version just about everywhere she goes – she’s 18months.). This year, with lots of interest in a certain film currently in production, the Disney Store has a new, must have, range. I am, of course, talking about the new Star Wars movie, and…

My favourite star of the show (so far) has to be the truly lovely Judy Rose, the warm and funny front of house lady who gives the Liberty reception such a welcoming feel. Judy has put together her festive…

If you are looking for something a little special to wear to a party this Christmas, or you’re looking for a present for the lady in your life (mom, sister, wife, daughter – basically any female relative), then you need to make sure you visit the Boden website this week. For this is the week with the famous 25% off discount that allows you to make some rather good savings on some gorgeous pieces including both clothes and accessories. Boden promises that it offers ‘the gifts she’ll love’, and I have to agree. They have Christmas jumpers with a twist, offering a sparkly bauble or two, or a completely sequined…

Their quest is to collect…
