    Sainsbury’s celebrating the best of Easter

    Easter is coming! Yes, with some children breaking up for the Easter break this Friday (not my son though, who has to wait until 2nd April for his freedom), our minds are turning to thoughts of chocolate, Easter egg hunts, fluffy Easter chickens, and all manner of food. With all that in mind, Sainsbury’s have produced a great new ad campaign that celebrates all the best things about a traditional, delicious British Easter. I love this video, because it shows all the fun and reality of a British Easter. There is the chance to have fabulous picnics and family barbecues – as long as the notorious British weather allows it.…

    A touch of Halloween from Sainsburys

    The witching hour (OK day) is almost upon us, and it seems that Halloween is now a big event on every little boy or girls social calendar. Every child loves dressing up, and Halloween is one of those occasions where you can really go to town in terms of your outfit. My little boy Joe is no exception to this rule. Over the past few years Joe has dressed up for different Halloween events. He was a ghost wearing a rather strange costume that I think resembled a giant condom(?), and last year he was a pumpkin. He chose both of these costumes himself, which I think is rather lovely.…

    Toy review – Slix Stunt City from Sainsbury’s

    If you are looking for a present that will keep your little boys (or big boys come to mention it) happy, contented and occupied all over the Christmas period, you need look no further than Sainsbury ‘s. This year they have had an amazing collection of great value toys for children of all ages, and the Slix toys in particular have been the stuff that little boys (and some little girls too) dream of. I’m talking fast cars, stunt driving, and lots of crashes and smashes. I was sent the Slix Stunt City to review with Joe. Unfortunately, Joe has spent quite a bit of time over the last few…

    Christmas comes early to Sainsbury’s

    With just over two months to go until Santa starts that journey from the North Pole, Lapland or wherever it is that he is living these days, a little bit of help with the Christmas list is just what parents ordered. So thank goodness for Sainsbury’s and their super Christmas comes early toy sale that is starting in stores today. Make no bones about it, this is a truly amazing toy sale with every single item in the toy aisle reduced. There are savings of 25%, one third off, and an amazing 50% off brands like Barbie, Moshi Monsters, Thomas the Tank Engine, and Nerf.  Toys for younger children including…

    Tu launches new range in Sainsbury’s stores

    I love the fact that supermarkets sell clothing. Apart from the easy convenience of picking up something when you are doing your food and home shop, I love the fact it seems like a guilt free purchase – just pop it in the trolley and pay for it with the rest of your shopping, hide it from your hubby amongst the loo rolls if need be! Sainsbury’s has long since produced a great quality collection with ‘Tu’. The wardrobe basics and jeans have become almost wardrobe staples for many of us, and the Gok Wan collection is ever evolving and popular. And now, the brand  has been relaunched this month…
