At Belles - Personalized Bracelets

When I came across At Belle's on Facebook, I instantly fell in love with these Personalized Bracelets. My Mother has been after a Bracelet like this for ages but she never came across anything she properly liked. What I love about these is that for one you can pick the charm and colour beads, Two at how easy it was to order and pay, Three that the lady makes them all by hand and they are wrapped so beautifully. 

So I ordered My Mother one which I private message my order details on Facebook but I pay here on eBay as I didn't get the whole PayPal thing haha. At the moment on eBay it says it is £7 but I paid £6 but I truly believe they are worth much more as the quality and service is excellent. 

The Bracelet was delivered very fast and it was wrapped so beautifully. Easily is an brilliant idea for a gift as it is already wrapped up. Also in the package came her business card and a small pack of haribo sweets which is a lovely touch. 

when my Mother received the Bracelet she was very impressed and she even had a tear in her eye because its the small personal gifts that mean a lot. Seeing her Granddaughters name on a bracelet and wearing it on her wrist instantly cheers her up. It came in a small little gift bag which you can see above which my Mother keeps it in the bag when she isn't wearing it. 

My Mother shown her bracelet to her Sister who also fell in love and wanted one. She wanted the same colour beads and obviously different names. 

What I love most about these bracelets is that they are personal to each person and is a sentimental gift. At Belles do much more than bracelets such as wine glass charms, key rings and much more. I love the fact she makes them to order and you can tell so much effort and love is put into every order. I am going to be ordering Bethany one soon with obviously Bella & Ava with a daughter charm or Mummy for her birthday. At first I couldn't find what I wanted on the Facebook page so I private messaged her and she instantly replied and help me with what I wanted. 

I recommend ordering one of these bracelets or any other personalized items she offers as they are easily the most thoughtful gift for a female who likes sentimental items. As I said above I couldn't find what I was looking for so just drop her a message and I'm positive she will help you. Hopefully I can treat myself to one soon as I can't see my Nieces often so a bracelet with their names is something I can wear daily and have them close to me at all times. Please check out her Twitter, Facebook ebay and website. I would rather give my money and order from someone who you can see puts a lot of effort and heart into every item made. I have recommend this to all my family and friends which all have loved and ordered from so please do tell or send the link to people who you would think would love to order someone for a gift or even to treat themselves. I was meant to write this post weeks ago but I haven't been very well lately. Have any one reading this ordered something from this shop? Let me know if you love the items as much as me :)

Primark sizes!

So today we had a lovely day. Katie and Shelly both came to Essex from Windsor to spend the day with us:). It's was a great day and both Ava and Bella loved seeing nanny and auntie Katie. 

Both my mum and Shelly bought Ava some clothes from primark. She recieved two lovely cardigans, both sized 3-4 years. When I saw them one of them seemed considerably smaller than the other so I measured them against each other and found one of them was smaller... 

YES believe it or not these are BOTH supposed to be the same size. How ridiculous. I hear many people say on primark does come up smaller ect. But seriously you don't think how much! This does indeed confirm the fact primark has no size gide. Infact I believe they slap any size on anything. If you didn't know you would think that ones a 3-4 and the other is 4-5 or it was a 2-3 and 3-4. When buying your clothes my advice would be to try on the item as you could be buying a size or two bigger or smaller than you actually are! 

Another thing that I have found increasingly annoying about the shop is the lack of newborn baby clothe range they have. They only have a few outfits to fit a newborn! Rather annoying as you need a lot of clothes for a newborn and a lot of people would thrive on buying a basket full of clothes for a new baby I know I would!  I've also found that there are inconsistency with the clothes you can get in stores some stores do different clothes to others as my mother in law bought Bella some lovely outfits that I have not seen in any primark stores here where I live.  

I've never had any problem with primark and I will still shop there. But as I've got older and had children I have come to realise now a lot of their floors unfortunately. I don't want to or like to highlight their faults but I have to be honest about my findings since shopping there recently. I would give a little advice to primark also.. If you are going to up your prices don't let the standard or quality slip...

Quick Tesco Post!

I went to Tesco today (this morning) to get a few bits for my parents arrival!

I used the scan as you shop  system for the first time and I must say it made shopping life so much easier!

You scan each item as you shop and add it to your trolley or basket if you have bags you can pack as you shop aswell! So you aint got to worry about the dreaded big food shop pack! You just pay and go! Another good thing is that you can keep an eye on how much your spending so if your on a budget its a god send! Definitely the best way for budget shoppers!
So if you live near a Tesco and have a club card I recommend you scan as you shop!

Thank You
