My Butterfly

I have a very short but very sweet post today. I was having a good browse on the ThinkGeek website (more on that later) and found myself entranced by their electronic 'butterfly in a jar'.

They are also available at £19.99 from My Butterfly UK - and I can't wait to get my own Monarch butterfly in a jar to keep on the mantelpiece!

Etsy Favourites

Etsy is one of my favourite virtual shopping markets. I could peruse the stalls for hours looking at all the bespoke and homemade goodies and adding to my wish list. I thought I would occasionally share some of my favourite items with you, and today I am going to indulge the retro geek side of my personality...

ShokXoneStudios

The Labyrinth is one of my favourite films of all time, and these arcade game inspired posters are just perfect at £24.89 for the pair though can be purchased separately at £15.56 each.

ArtNinja101

There are some really fun nintendo inspired trinkets to be found here - not enough though! I am hopelessly in love with these Bobomb earrings

Lord of the Earrings

Talking about earrings - what could be more exciting than wearing the lovely Zack Morris (from Saved by the Bell) on your ears for the world to see!

FilmMemorabilia

So a lot of the films mentioned on here aren't quite retro, but LOOK! Just LOOK AT THIS! Little me would have made up an elaborate lie to tell the other kids in the playground about how this was a personal gift from Jim Henson. This film cell keyring is one of many, but obviously is my favourite

My Four Legged Friend

So I thought I would talk about one of my MOST favourite things today, and that is my puppy, Prince.

Prince joined the family only 5 months ago, and instantly won my heart and turned me into one of 'those dog people'. I am surprised I haven't lost all but a few Facebook friends due to me finding his face even more adorable than it was 5 minutes ago and sharing a picture online to prove it. 

I set up an Instagram page just for Prince, so that I could maybe spare myself the virtual rolled eyes every time I post something new. Prince already as 83 followers (most of whom are other dogs) so he is well on his way to being globally adored.

This is my boy:

Isn't he just adorable? Of course I am biased but do take a look at Prince's Instagram - iamprincethepup if you would like to inject a little more 'aaaw' into your general internet surfing.

Sweets for my Sweet

Recently, I was lucky enough for my lovely boyfriend to have been in a generous mood as he was travelling through Waterloo station. He came home with some brownies from Konditor & Cook as a surprise gift. 

Holy Moly! I had just been lucky enough to eat the tastiest brownie that had ever passed my lips. Slightly crunchy on the outside and oozing with chocolaty goodness on the inside. I am very excited to see that they are offering a delivery service as I need these in my life again.

 
This brownie sharing gift box (containing Curly Whirly, Chocolate Chip and Boston cranberry brownies) are a little on the pricey side at £24.00 but my gosh are they worth it. Indulge yourself!

If you are after a little more affordable sweet treat, then I would highly recommend taking a look at what Montezumas have to offer - especially their 'Take Away' range. 

My personal favourite is the Dark Chocolate Honeycomb 2 Go at £4.99. You can buy these direct from Montezumas and also John Lewis online. I regularly buy these but find myself so excited to introduce people to them that I end up giving away more than I eat. Try them yourself, or ask for some as an Easter gift.
