Make it: Father's Day Gift

It has come around to that time of year in the UK, when it's time for the Dad's in your life to get a bit of a treat.  I thought we could have a bit of a drinking theme for this year, we are all adults afterall.  You can always take a look at our Father's Day coasters from last year if you prefer, but this one is for the lazy/ oh no I forgot amongst you, as it's so quick to do.

You will need: Jars, bottles, mugs any kind of drinking receptacle really (orange bottle - Cargo, clear bottle - Tiger, blue mason jar - Poundworld) and sweets,chocolate, favourite alcohol or any drink Dad likes really.

I went with a colourful theme this year and divided up some skittles so that it made it look like a rainbow in the bottle. If you saw our instagram a few weeks ago you will know that dividing them up seemed to please me! ha, ha, what a life hey!

Once that was done, it was down to choosing some alcohol for the bottle and then buying this great blue coloured Mason Jar from Poundworld, yes really!

I thought the combination would make a great gift.  You can adapt it for the Dad in your life, with chocolates or tea, anything you like really.

What are you going to give Dad this year?  I know that those of you around the world celebrate different times of year, so maybe an idea for your Father's day.

Move Over Macaroons

Cup Cakes, Macaroons and Cake Pops are so 2013. There are some new kids on the block, Sweet treats to tempt your taste-buds in to submission. Having taste tested all of them we can confirm all these lovelies are here to stay.

These yummy mouth sized morsels of sugary joy are as much as a delight for the eye as for your taste buds. The Meringue Girls have made these fluffy lovelies cool again, no longer are they just for crushing into an Eton mess, no these beauties are delish all by themselves, using all natural flavours. We are putting their Hackney bakery on our 'To Visit' list for the very near future.

I am sure by now you have seen that you can have your Instagram photos printed onto almost anything these days right? From magnets to phone cases you would think it had all been done, nope!  Boomf will print your photos onto yummy marshmallows! That's right ladies and gents, Instagram marshmallows! 

We have raved about the lovely Biscuiteers  here on a few occasions before, but we couldn't not include them this time as iced biscuits are taking over themed party's faster than you can say Jolly Ginger. We know for sure that David Beckham is one of the long line of celebs to have been spotted frequenting the Portabello store and icing cafe.

What sweet treats are you loving right now? Do you still love a macaroon? Are you more of a tea loaf kind of gal or lad? let us know your faves in the comments below.

Link for the week: Sweetie time

So, over the lovely long weekend both Sammy and I popped over to a friends housewarming which was lovely to catch up with good friends and some lovely food.

There was even some sweets to take away with us at the end - an adult party goodie bag if you will! I love those!

Anyway, it got me thinking about the old sweets we used to have as kids (usually for 1p or 2p down at the local shop) and then I found this weeks link! Yey

I particularly love Jazzies, foam bananas and flying saucers, but to be fair most sweets will do!

Go check out this company and fill your boots with sweets at one of their stores or just buy online if you really can't wait!

Love it
