Product Review - Twinings Festive Tea

The amazing people at Twinings Australia sent us some gorgeous Festive tea to review and some extras to giveaway !!

This tea is literally Christmas in a cup... I love it so much ! Everything from the smell of the brew to the taste of the tea just screams festivities to you. It is quite unlike any other tea I have ever tried and I've tried so many. You really need to get your hands on some of this tea and try it for yourself.

Christmas Tea

Christmas tea is a Malty Assam blended with Cinnamon, Clove and Spice flavourings. This is a totally scrumptious festive twist on your classic brew. It's a delightful balance of what you already know and the seasonal tastes you love. It honestly does smell and taste just like Christmas ! This beautiful tin contains 20 pretty individually wrapped bags and would be perfect to treat yourself or to give as a gift. I have found this to be a very refreshing afternoon delight. It's so beautiful outside as the sun is setting and the cool air is flowing. The combined relaxation of a lazy afternoon and this tea is the perfect way to end a day.

Indulgent Vanilla Chai

Spicy Chai black tea with creamy rich Vanilla flavours. Perfect to sit down to after a long day or really just because it is so lovely and comforting. This is a wonderfully aromatic blend and the smell hits you as soon as you open the tin. It's a true pleasure to have. It is quite enjoyable alone or add some sugar and a dash of milk for a true Chai taste. Every sip is like a beautiful comforting hug. This tin also contains 20 very pretty individually wrapped bags. I've been drinking this tea teamed with a yummy teacake once the little ones are all asleep for a very selfish and indulgent treat. 

We have 4 tins of this lovely tea to giveaway to two lucky winners. Each winner will receive one each of the Christmas tea and the Indulgent Vanilla Chai tea. You lucky ducks !

Squeeze'ems review and giveaway

 

If you make your own baby food then you know the frustration of packing up all of them little tubs in your bag to take out. When it's time for baby's lunch you open up your bag and OH NO it's gone everywhere !! But fret no more. Today I have discovered something AMAZING that you really must know about - Squeeze'ems baby food pouches.

These reusable pouches are the solution to your baby food transportation dilemmas.

The gorgeous Samantha Hoyle from Squeeze'ems has agreed to give us some to try and review for you plus a 10 pack for a competition giveaway. I will be talking to Samantha about the details so watch this space for how you can enter to win a pack of these wonderful pouches. I just know these are very soon going to be seen in every supermarket in Australia and then overseas, so much am I excited about these!



 

• Each pouch holds 80g -  is free from BPA, PVC and Phthalate


• Caution: Ensure young children are supervized when using this product as it contains small parts which children could choke on or swallow.


• Please wash or sterilize the pouches before filling them.


• When microwaving please unscrew the cap/lid to allow air to escape the pouch, if the contents is below the level of the spout. If the contents is higher than the level of the spout open the zip-lock at the top instead. Please check the temperature of the contents before serving.


• Make sure not to overfill the pouches when freezing as the contents will expand which may cause the ziplock to burst open.


• Place the pouch on it's side with the spout facing upward when opening to prevent the contents from spilling out.


• Made from PET/NY/PE

Not only are these reusable which is fantastic if you are environmentally conscious like myself but they are affordable. With prices starting from just $3 for a trial pack how can you walk past them without giving them a go??

I am thinking of how practical they will be for everything from custards, yoghurts, homemade dinners and well.... the ideas are endless!!

Well... what are you waiting for? check these babies out =D

If you would love to be in the running to win one of these nappies all you have to do is go to this link, read all about Sweet Pea Nappies and comment on this blog post (not our facebook page), telling us what you think is the best feature of the Sweet Pea MCN.
