New in @ Busy B Stationery
Saturday, February 06, 2016
Stationery, among many other things, is a weakness of mine, I can't get enough of notebooks, sticky notes, pens, memo pads, I think you get my point. A fresh new notebook or new stationery in general makes me plan and organise better and it gets me motivated again; also beautiful new stationery is the best kind of stationery.
I have worked with the lovely people at Busy B before and I was so excited when I had the opportunity to try out a few products from their new *and amazing* fashion range even before it came out online! I did squeal slightly...ok, quite a lot when I received the package a couple of weeks ago. The photos really aren't doing the products justice, they are SO pretty with such a high quality feel and gold detailing.
- *Busy B Zip-Up Coin Purse (£12.99): How adorable is this cute coin purse! I love the simple but spring like fresh design and it is so handy. It has a travel card pocket and a zip up space for coins and or cards. I know my sister would love this as she doesn't carry a large purse as I do so I think she'll be wanting this from me! It comes in a cute box so it would make a lovely little adorable but practical gift for mothers day!
- *Busy B Page Markers (£3.99): When I'm reading a book, magazine or cookbook I always find page markers so handy to highlight interesting pages or information and these are the cutest page markers ever. They are cute and colourful and they would also be perfect for your planner/diary to mark special occasions or birthday etc. I will be using them as page markers and in my diary, especially as my diary is from Busy B too - they could also make revising and studying more interesting and colourful! The price is fantastic, in my opinion, as you get 105 sticky page parkers which are usually much more expensive or not as cute.
- *Busy B A5 Notebook (£8.99): Last but not least, my favourite item, well there are all gorgeous! I love the rich turquoise blue/green contrasting against the foil gold stripes *you know I never met a stripe I didn't like*. I think it looks so chic but playful and cute. It is lined and it has the same floral pattern as the purse inside so they would be a perfect pairing as a gift. For some reason I always thought that A5 notebooks were tiny but they aren't, they are a perfect size actually - large enough to write in properly but small enough to still be portable and travel friendly. Also it has a pocket inside that could be really useful or receipts, little notes or tickets.
Overall, the new fashion range is a fairly small collection but it is so chic and cute, it would be perfect for those who like high quality and unique stationery but with a much more reasonable price point. I always find interesting and well designed items on Busy B that I don't tend to find anywhere else. I have quite a few items from Busy B now and I cannot recommend their stationery enough! Overall rating: ★★★★★, 5/5!

Busy B List Pad
Saturday, June 27, 2015
It's no secret that I'm a stationery addict, it's one of my many obsessions and the lovely people at Busy B are not helping my stationery obsession and wish list! I've been looking at their stationery for ages but I have refrained from buying as I do have quite a lot of notebooks, memo pads etc but I can always find room for more.
I chose the *Busy B Large List Pad (£6.99) which is one of their newer products. I love making lists, whether it's a to do list or shopping lists I always have at least one list on the go at all times! Making lists and writing notes keeps me organised and on top of everything *most of the time* so this list pad is just perfect for me.
The list pad looks so adorable, it is so colourful and well designed; I love the grey linen around the top spine of the pad. There are 20 pages which alternate from a notes page, things to do page and a checklist page which I think is the one I will get the most use out of. I love the checklist page as it has circular tick boxes on the side - it's the little things. I've been using this list pad so far to write some blogging notes, my blog schedule and my blog to do lists. It's so pretty though I don't want to write in it and ruin it!
Overall, I love this list pad, it is so cute and very handy especially for blogging! I love the spring/summer floral design and the size as it isn't tiny. If you are a general stationery addict like me or if you love making lists then you need this in your life! I have quite a few of their items on my wish list now. Overall rating: ★★★★★, 5/5. Here's my mini Busy B wish list:

Last Minute Easter Gift Ideas
Wednesday, April 01, 2015
Lush Bunch Of Carrots Bubble Bars (£5.99) | This Works Candle (£12.99) | Mason Cash Baking Bowl (£17.99) | Deliciously Ella Cook Book (£9.99 - SALE) | Shake 'n' Make Ice Cream Maker (£11.95) | Hotel Chocolat Pink Champagne Truffles (£5.50) | Busy B Stationary (£4.99) | Wrappz Personalised iPhone 5C Skin (£7.99)
Easter weekend is almost here and for me and my family that means chocolate, baking and Easter gifts as well as spending more time together. This Easter weekend looks like it will be rainy, grey and cold for the lovely city of Manchester (it's currently hailstoning) but here are some colourful Easter gift ideas!
- The Lush Easter range is always adorable and this season is no different! I definitely need to get my hands on the Lush bunch of carrots bubble bars - does know how long the Easter range is available for? I've never been a fan of bubbly baths but recently I have used up all of my Lush bubble bars and I can't stop using them *all the bubbles*
- Candles are always lovely gifts, even if they aren't burnt they still make cute decorative items. I haven't tried any candles from This Works but they looks so luxe and expensive. TKMaxx have so amazing bargain candles from quite unknown but lovely niche brands.
- I've personally wanted a Kitchenaid mixer for so long but they are so expensive but this adorable mixing bowl from Mason Cash will be lovely too. I think it would be great for any GBBO enthusiast!
- Everyone and their mum has been raving about the book (and blog) Deliciously Ella and I think it would make a great, practical Easter gift. The raw brownies sound so yummy!
- Another food related gift, can you tell I was hungry while writing this post and picking the items to feature! With the slightest hint of blue skies and sunshine, I want to bust out the ice cream and I've always wanted to make my own. I think it would be a great gift for adults and children.
- Now for more of a traditional Easter gift - chocolate. Who doesn't love Hotel Chocolat, their chocolate and packaging always looks so tempting and luxe. My mum received some Hotel Chocolat chocolates for mothers day and she loved them.
- Busy B stationary has been on the never ending wish list in my mind for so long and I think so many people would love their stationary - I know my mum and sister definitely would. I love the look of their notebooks, pens, to do notes and planners - there is something for everyone.
- Last but not least the Wrappz personalised phone cases and skins, I have made up one design that you can see above but there are so many opinions as you can use your own images to make a cute personalised gift or you can have a quote, for example. There are faux leather phone cases, phone skins and regular cases for so many phones. They also make tablet cases, tablet skins, personalisable mugs, wall art, wash bags, coasters, tea towels, jewellery boxes and even personalised aprons! I think all of the items would make great gifts especially as they are personalisable, it shows that you have put time and effort into the gift.
The lovely people at Wrappz have kindly given me a discount code for me to share with my readers which will give you 20% off their personalised phone cases (which are suitable for so many phones from iPhones, Blackberry, HTC and more). The code is: FBFAN20.
There are so many Easter related gift ideas especially chocolate but I personally never really loved Easter eggs so I hope these alternative Easter (or even birthday) gift ideas are interesting and helpful but you will have to order today so it will arrive in time.
What do you think of the Easter gift items I have featured? What will you be doing this Easter weekend?
