gNappies 25% Off @ Ocado

by Luschka van Onselen in Deals on 8 May, 2013 at 7:00 pm

gNappies 25% Off @ OcadoOcado have a sale on gNappies at the moment, and until June 30th. The red and orange gPants, which normally sell for £14.95 are reduced to £11.21. They are also selling the disposable inserts for £17 for two packs of 32 (medium) or 40 (small).

gNappies are a one of a kind nappy system in the UK which gives parents the option of reusable or disposable nappy inserts, to go with the reusable gPants.  We've reviewed gNappies on PlayPennies, so you can read all about them.

Regular disposable nappies can take around 500 years to decompose in landfill, we're told, which is why gNappies came up with a disposable insert thats chemical and plastic free, and can biodegrade in your compost in 2- 3 MONTHS. Dirty nappies can be disposed of as you would regular nappies, but you can take comfort in the fact that they will be gone before your baby goes to school, rather than many generations later.

We've used gNappies for newborns, travel, and regular use, and love the ease of them.

Buy One Orchard Toy Get Snap Free @ Ocado

Buy One Orchard Toy Get Snap Free @ Ocado

Initially this looks like a BOGOF offer, but it actually isn't. It's buy one of any of the toys, and get the SNAP game free. This game is worth £5.25 at Ocado, or £5.99 at Amazon. Seems like a great opportunity to stack up on some small gifts for parties, secret santas and so on, especially if you read on and see some of the ways you can benefit from it.

So you get the Snap game regardless of what you buy, so while you could get the most expensive toy, the Orchard Toys Giant Road for  £13.95 - it's £13.95 and up at Amazon - you could also buy the cheapest option, the Little Tractor Jigsaw for £4.95, and get both free. Two Orchard Toys for under £5 is not bad!

It's been so helpful to me to have a stack of toys in the cupboard, ready to go for the myriad of first birthdays we've had this year - seriously 2012 was a really high birth year in our area!

While the snap itself is probably more for older age groups, the cards are great for memory games for younger children too. My little one certainly loved play match and memory with her cards!

These will top up the cupboard nicely and should see us through the rest of the year.

The Limited Edition Union Jack Dettol Review

by Tamsin Oxford in Reviews on 4 June, 2012 at 5:00 pm

The Limited Edition Union Jack Dettol Review

I am a huge fan of the Dettol No-Touch hand wash system for several reasons. The first is that, with kids, you can get all sorts of gunk on your hands that you really don’t want on your tap so being able to get the most of it off before turning on the water is a big deal.

The second reason is that it encourages my child to wash her hands. This is an ongoing battle with her, for some reason she just doesn’t like doing it and limply waves her fingers under the water if not monitored closely. The Dettol No-Touch hand wash system is fun, it’s automatic, it means she needs to really wash her hands to get the soap off! In short, it helps and that makes me happy.

I recently got the Limited Edition Union Jack version of this Dettol system because it looked ace. I am not originally from the UK so I tend to look fondly on flag-branded merchandise for the home because it is, in my eyes, pretty funky. We don’t celebrate the Jubilee in our home so this was more of an investment in style than celebration, and something well worth considering if you want one because it really does look fabulous.

The system works better than my old one for some reason. It seems more on the ball. And I love the fact that it comes with blue soap – how utterly charming! The only down side to these systems is, for me, the price.

At the moment, this limited edition Union Jack Dettol No-Touch is on sale at Ocado for £8, a nice saving, but the refills will cost you in the region of £3 which is quite steep. However, the advantages, for me, outweigh the disadvantages and one refill lasts about three weeks in our house.

Huggies Size 3 Super Dry Value Box 87 Pack £11.98 BOGOF @ Ocado

Huggies Size 3 Super Dry Value Box 87 Pack £11.98 BOGOF @ Ocado

Ocado is selling the value boxes of Huggies Size 3 Super Dry nappies for £11.98 in a buy one get the second one free deal at the moment. That’s 87 nappies per pack and 174 nappies in total for under £12. Not bad at all.

The Huggies Super Dry packs have Disney’s Winnie the Pooh designs on them and are super breathable to help prevent nappy rash and sore bums. The buy one get the second one free offer is on from today until 29 January so if your baby’s bum fits these, then you can stock up for ages.

The price works out to around 7p per nappy and you’re only allowed a maximum of 20 in one order (although that would be a lot of nappies!). However, the site only allows a minimum order value of £40 so you may want to bump up the spend by peeking at many of the other low deals they have on at the moment, like low cost Aptamil.

Ferrero Rocher Christmas Review

by Lynley Oram in Reviews on 20 December, 2011 at 1:00 pm

Ferrero Rocher Christmas ReviewFor some people, it isn't Christmas if there's no Ferrero Rocher. By some people, I mean my family. And by not Christmas I mean world ending, cancel all presents, put the turkey back in the freezer, Christmas is cancelled. That's how much they love the stuff.

But not me. I actually am not a fan of the chocolate, and don't really like the taste. A bit bizarre to review Ferrero Rocher perhaps, but then I'm the odd one out in a household where my other half, and both step children love these little foil wrapped treats.

So for them it was like Christmas come early. We received two packs to try out, the Ferrero Rocher Christmas Tree, and the Ferrero Collection Limited Edition with Pistachio.

Both are billed as 'new', however I am 100% certain that I bought the Christmas tree version for my stepson's Christmas stocking last year. I remember spotting it on the shelves at the supermarket and thinking what a jolly good idea to give it that little Christmas touch.

That's one thing that makes Ferrero Rocher stand out is the hard plastic container used, instead of a cardboard chocolate box. I wonder how environmentally friendly this is, but you can re-use the containers and I've done so many times. They make great display boxes for gifts for example, if you can get the Ferrero Rocher label off, or cover it up.

Ocado 50% Off Sale - Now On!

by Heidi Scrimgeour in Deals on 3 January, 2010 at 9:00 am

Ocado 50% Off Sale - Now On!I don't know about you but if I won the lottery one of the first things I'd change is where I do my grocery shopping. I'd ditch Asda and Tesco's in favour of the food section of Marks and Spencer, and I'd wander the aisles of Waitrose picking up weird and wonderfully overpriced treats and delights. Which is why I'm ridiculously over-excited about the Ocado sale, now on, with 50% off on over 170 items.

The sale mostly covers their festive stock - thing like cakes and puddings, biscuits, confectionary, cheese, nuts and pates, but it also extends to meat joints and platters as well as hampers and food sets. There are also some great deals on wines as well as cards and gift wrap and picnic items and summer dining.

My fave items include chocolate cluedo down to £4.00 from £8.00. Now that's my kind of game - one you can eat when the boredom sets in.

I'd also happily polish off a few of these Lindt chocolate gold bells, which seem less like an indulgence and more like a bargain at £1.50 instead of £3.00.

Ocado 50% Off Sale - Now On!You need to create a new account or log in to be able to purchase items from Ocado online, and you will need to enter your postcode before doing so in order to check that the Ocado delivery service operates in your area. I recommend doing this before you browse the sale rails as the disappointment of realising you can't actually get your hands on any of these lovely goodies tastes seriously bitter. Sob.
