Organix Christmas Selection Box (Review)

We got sent one of these to review for Christmas. On first glance it seemed very exciting, colourfull and fun! And Lydia seemed to instantly recognise the brand with its bright colours and cute pictures.

However i found the box/packaging very flimsy. When i recieved it the box was creased and bent, i feel it needs to be stronger as it wouldn't last very long at all in the hands of a toddler! On the other hand the tape dots that were used to seal it were very hard to open, i had to get some scissors out as to not ruin the box completely.

Inside we found a cute little pop-out and play winter farm scene. This was lovely to look at but the items kept slipping off the scenery as the card is very shiny, a toddler may find this frustrating? I feel a few glue dots were needed. 

The selection box contained, 3 packs of organic biscuits and 2 organic oaty bars from Organix ‘Goodies’ range.  Goodies foods are suitable from 12 months, however it did not state this on the packaging. New to brand customers would be unaware of the age target. But their ‘no junk promise’ means a child of a slightly younger age (7mths +) could also enjoy them, guilt free!

I am a Coeliac (wheat and gluten intolerant) and Lydia has to follow the same diet as me until she's 1yr old to get tested for it. So i did feel slightly saddend by the fact that she (and i) couldn't infact eat any of the items contained. I think Organix should offer a 'freefrom' (allergy freindly) range of this pack. But my other half desided to devour the lot with a huge smile on his face! cheeky!

I noticed that all of the items and the packaging had pictures of girls on, this is great for a girl. But if given to a boy he may think he's been given a 'girls' present and not enjoy/want it as much? A few other styles available to purchase would be good to offer variety amongst larger familys/different sex familys etc...

I think this novelty gift is worth the money at only £2.99 per pack, from http://www.organix-shop.co.uk/ also available from Ocado and Boots.

Quick, she's asleep!

Quickly squeezing in a blog whilst Fluffy is napping...

Well I've been busy! Being ill again! Had another bout of mastitis, also got eczema on my boobs and insomnia! I need to relax, switch off and have some time out.

This mummy business is no cup of tea i tell you. We've been getting broken nights galore! I can't shut my head up to nod off and when i finally do Fluffy decides its time to wake up and cry for an hour because her gums hurt and i won't give her comfort feeds constantly as it makes her sick. However i much prefer this than my old job, only one stressy little madam to deal with rather than a shop full!

Halloween is about a week away now, spooky! We've not planned anything as i feel Fluffy is to young to understand all the goings on. We will probley just take her for a walk around the shops so she can see all the colourful outfits etc...
We have been invited to Mamma McCann's spooky party for Fizz and her friends. But we have no way of getting there and home, we don't drive and as its a Sunday buses are out of the question :0( boo

Its 63 days until Christmas and 49 days until I'll be a quarter of a century old! This will be our first family Christmas, so excited :0) Been buying stuff throughout the year for peoples presents, just need to get into 'the bastard cupboard' and dig stuff out for it now!
Fluffy has her x-mas pud and Santa outfit's out ready to try on for the Christmas card photos i am doing for the family. Shes going to look super cute!

The family holiday to Bath is slowing dawning on us. I am OK about it now, I've relaxed. Going to pre-plan everything to pack etc... Travel cot is organised, just need to sort out the hire car now.

I've been making and baking at home. Made lots of yummy things for Fluffy's dinners and baked some dotty cupcakes for Mamma (i might share with Daddy Welch if he asks nicely)

Oh.... i hear her stirring... its been short and sweet, just like me! Ciao for now :0) xxx
