I can’t quite believe that Easter is almost here again, it really doesn’t seem long since last Easter, when lockdown had not long begun and none of us knew what the year would bring. Here we are again.
My children’s favourite thing about Easter is the Easter hunt. They aren’t especially bothered about the chocolate really, they just love hunting for things in the garden. I normally mix it up with some sweets and chocolate, some plastic or ceramic eggs and lots of clues.
If you are fed up with the amount of chocolate the kids get for Easter and looking for alternative gift options? How about this year they receive a gift that is useful, fun and super cool!
I’m working with the newly launched SnapWatch, a funky wearable that incorporates truly flexible LED display technology. Made from soft silicone that snaps around the wrist – it’s a gift for kids of all ages and a great way for youngsters to learn to tell the time. With a selection of designs and colours including astronauts, sharks, dragons and unicorns there’s something for every child.
I love the fact that these watches are shockproof, splashproof, recyclable and CE approved. My youngest two love snap bands but as a parent I have never really seen the point in them – now there is a point to them, I love the fact that someone has found a way to make them into a watch!
Telling the time can now be fun and exciting, it’s ‘the snappy happy way to tell time’. No software or app is required, which I think is a bonus – there’s easy 2 button control for 12/24hr time plus date/month/seconds mode.
With Easter just around the corner, your kids can have fun in a ‘snap’ as SnapWatch makes the best ‘irreWristible’ non chocolate gift ever!
SnapWatch is available online at www.snapwatch.co.uk priced at £14.99 including free P&P – a great gift idea!

The hardest thing about lockdown was screentime (for all of us). January with all the rain was particularly difficult as it meant getting the kids out of the house was difficult, so we relied more and more on tv, ipad etc.

The hardest thing has been being separated from my family I miss them all
With certain shops closed, there are some of our staple bathroom products we’ve had to get online at higher prices, which has annoyed me! Not enough to upset me too much, we did get my son’s special shampoo that none of the open shops sell, so we thank Amazon! xx
Homeschooling, I found it really hard to keep the children interested in it all.
