Welcome to 2018!
This is my first post since Christmas 2017 which was actually only 6 days ago! It has been weird not having to post something every day but I think I am getting used to it… Instead of posting daily, I am going back to posting weekly – on a Sunday at 6 pm. I have lots of new ideas planned and I am very excited to put them into action! Thank you for reading,

Game Night:
Some great classic games such as Monopoly, Cards, Battleships and Ingenious are always fun!
Just a Good Old Talk:
A nice long chat is never not fun and interesting!
There are lots of other things you could do such as a meal out, takeaway, hide and seek for presents!

These are some great tips to help you wrap a mountain of presents, quickly and efficiently!
1- ALWAYS get a tape dispenser!
These are the easiest ways to wrap presents because you can quickly get some sellotape without spending 5 minutes trying to find the end of the sellotape!
2- Always put the scruffy edge underneath the neat one!
Usually when you wrap a present there is a scruffy edge and a neat edge, to make the present as neat as possible, always put the scruffy edge underneath the neat one!
3- Fold the side for a neater wrap!
When you are wrapping the sides of the present, to make it neater, fold the flap in so you are left with a straight side rather than a messy one …
These were some simple and easy tips for present wrapping!

These are some ideas to make presents for children even better, instead of just plain and boring!
Tinsel Wrap:
All you need for this is tinsel, you just wrap it round the present either side (as if you were putting ribbon on it) and stick it to the bottom of the present. This is just an alternative to ribbon which isn’t as sparkly!
Pop a Joke Inside:
While you are writing the tag, you just write a Christmas joke on the tag as well! Put the answer upside down somewhere.
Heart of Bows:
Using any colour of stick on bows, stick them in a nice heart shape. You could even use this to cover up a mistake!
