Issue 13 of our weekly bite sized review series.
This week we’re sharing the opportunity to personalise a jar of Marmite with your own text, we’ve got a brand new cast iron casserole dish, a personalised mixing bowl, chalk markers (with an exclusive discount code) and a children’s advent calendar craft kit plus a Christmas craft kit giveaway!
Other things I’ve been loving this week but don’t have shopping links for include mini chocolate Brussels sprouts from M&S, gifted to my husband by one of his customers, a giant tarnished metal snowflake (see my Instagram feed for a photo!) and a handcrafted ceramic handled soup bowl I picked up in the gift shop in the Bonhoga art gallery here in Shetland.
Personalised Jar of Marmite – This season’s most exclusive gift for the Marmite fan in your life. Order by the 16th of December for guaranteed delivery in time for Christmas. There’s room for 9 characters on the label – what would you write on yours? You can play around with the text on their website. I might have spent a silly amount of time doing this. Jolly good fun! £4.99
