This day I love.......

Last year I reviewed the Book of Everyone and it made the perfect Christmas gift.  The person who received it really loved it and loved the little touches inside that made it special just for them.  The Book of Everyone now has many different options to choose from in addition to the original Book of Everyone.

The Book of Everyone Quickie - Requires no extra personalisation so it is perfect to create if you are in a rush

The Book of Everyone Romantic Edition -   romantic edition comes with lovebirds dedication page, cupid's arrow cover design, special personalisation pages and lovingly-crafted touches throughout.

The Book of Mum - With little touches for Mum

The Book of Dad - With little touches for Dad

The Book of Everyone Milestones Edition - Perfect for those celebrating a special milestone such as 21st birthday

The Book of Everyone for Christmas - This special festive edition comes with a Rodeo Santa dedication page and  festive cover.


All books are available in Digital £7.50, Paperback £19.50, Hardback £29.50 and Deluxe £49.50 and come with free delivery to the UK or USA.

In addition to the wonderful Books, you can also make your own personal snowflakes.  Now I have to admit this gets a little addictive.  You enter the name of the person you are making the snowflake for and it appears instantly, only the addition of a surname, middle name or initials changes the way the snowflake looks.  Using capital letters, spaces or other characters also slightly alters the design.  This means you can create some really interesting snowflake patterns.


Once created you can share via social media or have them made into a poster.  The posters are printed on a stunning 400gsm uncoated Spledorgel card, they are 30cm x 30cm and cost £14.95.  You can even choose the colour of the snowflake from a selection, making it truly personal.  When you do buy a poster a percentage of the sale also goes to Polar bear international who are helping to conserve Polar bears and their habitat.

I have to admit to spending rather a lot of time playing with the snowflakes, I love the different patterns they make and think the posters are such a wonderful unique gift.  Why not share your snowflake designs with me on twitter and Instagram?

Thanks to the Book of everyone for providing a code for me to make a hardback book in exchange for this post.

There is always one person I struggle to buy a Christmas present for [or birthday].  I don't know why, it is just they seem to either have everything or change their mind so often I struggle with what they would like.  I like to put thought into my presents and buy something that is clearly for that person.


I discovered the Book of Everyone and was intrigued so I went to have a look.  Did you know that #peopleareamazing?  I scrolled down the page of the site and saw that the Book of Everyone has teamed up with Age UK so this Christmas every book purchased goes towards the “gifting” of a book for an elderly person who may not receive a gift. Helping to bring a smile to an elderly person’s face this Christmas (a time which can be lonely for some) because after all amazing people deserve an amazing gift, #peopleareamazing.

The teaming with Age UK along with the bright funky colours of the site made me want to look further.  The Book of Everyone is for anyone aged 1 - 101.  Each Book is filled with amazing statistics, such as you share 50% of your DNA with a banana and more personal information such as your Chinese star sign, price of shopping when you were born and the top TV shows in the year of your birth.


I began creating my book and it was really simple and straight forward to do.  There are options for you to add photos, if you wish, and add your own personal information or choose from example information.  It was a really quick process to make something very special.


Within 7 days the book had arrived.  It has a lovely feel to it and is clearly printed to a high quality standard.  I have really enjoyed looking through the book and learning more such as I have named an ant [after the person who book this is, I cannot spoil the surprise] and they can go and watch this ant online.  I have also burnt 1.5 calories reading too, I love the little touches!

The Book of Everyone is a nostalgic, beautifully designed 50 page book that offers options that are affordable for all budgets from, Digital £7.50, Paperback £19.50, Hardback £29.50 and Deluxe £49.50.  A perfect Christmas present.



 I was provided with a code for a Book of Everyone, all words are my own personal opinion.

Since receiving my Panasonic TZ55 I have been experimenting a lot more with photography.  The class I attended has really opened up my eyes to photography and I am trying out different functions on the camera more, in a bid to not only understand but also get away from auto.  My Panasonic TZ55 will always be my trusty camera that I keep in my bag just in case, and it is these just in case moments that have meant I have a lot of photos of this year.

There seem to be new ways of capturing photos, by this I mean photo books, calenders, notepads, mugs and prints.  With Christmas coming up I have been looking through Photobox searching for inspiration of personal gifts to buy people.  I haven't been disappointed,

Photobox have a wide range of personal gifts.  Including the usual calenders, diaries and photo books there are also things I have never seen personalised before like a box of chocolates.


I find it rather impressive that I can order a personalised box of chocolates.  Thorntons chocolates as well!  They are going to make a great gift for Christmas.

As part of the Panasonic Brit Bloggers we were treated to a photobook from Photobox, as a way to capture our memories of 2014.  I created a book to remember our holiday in Scotland.  The order process was really quick and easy as was the design of the photobook.

I was really impressed with the speed of delivery too, and everything that arrived was great quality.  I ordered a photo book as well as a few surprise items for Christmas.  I cannot wait to see the faces on people when they open their gifts on Christmas morning.

I have a huge sweet tooth, I think everyone knows that by now. One thing I cannot resist is sweets, in particular marshmallows. At our wedding day our centre pieces were jars filled with marshmallows for our guests to enjoy. I therefore know my marshmallows, or so I thought.

At Britmums live this year I met a company who make personalised marshmallows, boomf. In fact their original idea was to print your Instagram images onto marshmallows. They have since extended this so you can upload images or use Facebook photos too.

I really loved this idea. Imagine how great it would have been at our wedding to have had personalised marshmallows. It would have made great favours and a much better centre piece. I decided to give boomf a try.

My preferred choice of web browser is chrome and for some reason I was unable to select my images but when I switched to Internet explorer I had no problems. After this switch I selected images from my Instagram account and arranged them onto boomf. The site gave me advice onto the best photos to choose, those that were not too dark.  I found the site really easy to use and other than the issue with chrome has no further issues placing my order.


Boomf is delivered worldwide for free and mine arrived within a few days.  Boomf is designed to fit through the letter box so there is no need to wait in for it to be delivered.  I opened the box and was really pleased with what I saw.

The images were great and of a good quality.  I loved how they looked and thought that it would make a fantastic gift.  Although they looked fantastic the proof is obviously in how they taste.  The girls could not wait to get stuck in


They tasted great.  My youngest quickly showed one straight in her mouth so she could have another, and my eldest kept asking for more.  She did point out that it had her photo on so therefore it was hers.  It was difficult to argue with that logic.  I did manage to sneak one past her though, I loved them so much I am wanting to order another box.  They are vanilla flavour but not too sweet and are flavoured just right.  Great texture and they seem to melt in your mouth.


If you would love to create your own box of boomf why not enter my competition below.  Entry is open to UK residents aged 18 and over only.  Giveaway ends Wednesday 8th October at midnight.  For full t&c see Rafflecopter

I remember the day I got married.  It had been forecast snow, and I had spent every 30 minutes getting out of bed checking outside.  It was a beautiful crisp winters morning, bright blue sky, winter sun and not a cloud to be seen anywhere.  A really beautiful morning.

I can remember the morning my eldest was born, a warm summers day with a beautiful sunrise.  My youngest was born on a perfect Spring day, not too hot or cold a few clouds a slight breeze.  Memories like this will stay with me forever.

The Day That have taken a photo every day at Sunrise since Mid summers 2005.  Every day is unique and special and every image that the Day That has captured is unique also.  The images make wonderful gifts that will be treasured for a life time.  Each image comes with a certificate of authenticity and I love the personal hand written touch at the bottom of the image, to capture the moment.

personal message on image

I had a hard time choosing my special moment to capture but decided upon our fifth Wedding anniversary.  I don't really remember much of that day.  I had a selection of images to choose from and settled upon one which instantly caught my attention.  I find it really calming and relaxing and hope this is a reflection of the rest of our marriage.

The day that image

I am very pleased to be able to offer 3 readers 1 digital download from The Day That.  The digital download gives you the flexibility to choose what to do with your image.  Perhaps you will send to friends and family as a way to mark the birth of your child or create a thank you card from the day of your wedding.  Digital downloads from The Day That give you a way to create a truly unique gift.

Entry is via the Rafflecopter and closes at Midnight on 20th June 2014.  Good Luck.

I recently wrote on my Facebook page to say a big thank you to Tshirtprinting.net. I received a really lovely t shirt which is lovely and soft with thisdayilove logo printed across the front and back. I have wanted a blog t shirt for a while as I often recognise other bloggers by theirs and so this is great.

My t shirt has a small logo on the front followed by a larger logo on the back. When I checked out their website they are capable of printing almost any design onto a wide varitey of t shirts, jumpers etc in a great choice of colour. From the initial email to say my t shirt would be printed to reviving the t shirt all took place in the same 5 working days, which is very fast service.

I was sent a Tshirt however I was not asked to write a review, all words are my own.
