Cracking Easter Bargains with Poundworld

Poundworld is one of the UK's leading single priced retailers, selling everything for just £1.  With over 120 stores nationwide, there's sure to be one near you, which is great news as they have some amazing Easter bargains going "cheep"!

We were sent a brilliant bag filled with Easter goodies and I was really impressed with the quality and range.

Whether you are looking for traditional chocolate eggs, arts and crafts sets to keep the kids busy or fun novelty Easter gifts you will find everything you could wish for, all for the bargain price of just a pound.

We loved the fancy straw hat and the Easter bonnet decorating kit, both £1 each.  The cute straw style hat is the perfect size for little heads.  The ribbon trim detail is very pretty.  You can add your own personal touch to it to create an Easter bonnet using the decorating kit which contains embellishments, ribbon and bits and bobs.  A fun activity for children to do over Easter.

The Make Your Own Easter Cards Kit has everything you need to make six cards to give to family and friends.  The cute toppers are really lovely.  The Easter Poster Art Set comes with a palette of paints, a brush and a pre-printed canvas so your children can create their very own Easter themed works of art.  The Easter Egg Hunt set comes with cardboard baskets to collect goodies.  A real fun traditional Easter activity!

The Easter Eggs feature a whole host of lovable characters that kids will love from Peppa Pig to Disney Princesses.  You can buy four eggs for just £3. The kids will love them.

Or how about this cute foil wrapped chocolate Easter bunny?  Kids will love to find him on Easter Sunday.  

Your little ones can dress up as an Easter Bunny themselves with these fluffy and fun bunny ears.  They are available in pink or yellow.  They are so cute.

Easter is not complete without Easter chicks!  This collection of fluffy, yellow chicks make perfect decorations, cake toppers or can be used in an egg hunt.  Going 'cheep' at just £1 for a dozen.

With so many lovely things you'll be able to throw a fabulous Easter party or simply give the kids an Easter filled with fun activities, without spending a fortune.  My children love spending the long Easter weekend doing arts and crafts, taking part in Easter Egg hunts and munching on chocolate treats.  With our Poundworld goodies they will have an amazing time.

Poundland for Easter

With the credit crunch taking its toll, I've been looking at ways of saving money.  With the end of term just a  week away I was glad to receive a parcel of Easter goodies from Poundland to try out, giving me ideas for cutting costs without missing out on the fun!

Poundland have an extensive range of items in store all for just £1!  With character Easter Eggs featuring favourites such as Spongebob,  Barbie, Hello Kitty, Toy Story and Star Wars, there is something to please everyone.  You can also pick up big brand confectionery such as Smarties Egg Heads, Cadbury's Mini Eggs, Galaxy Eggs and Kinder Eggs.  Perfect for Easter Egg Hunts.  We were sent some Malt Easter bunnies to try which are available at 3 for £1!  Ella was very impressed with them and they are cheaper in Poundland than in the supermarkets!

They also stock a great range of Gifts, Cards and Wrap.  The large gift bag we were sent is great quality and a really cute design with googly eyes!  It will be a lovely way to present an Easter Egg or gift to a loved one. The Easter Bunny Cuddly Toy is a lovely, cute, cuddly toy, perfect for your little one and an absolute bargain at £1! They are available in a range of colours, and other designs of cuddly toy are also available.  The box of Easter Chicks will make excellent Easter decorations...perfect for dotting around the house or for using to
make an Easter bonnet!  The range also includes Money Wallets, Make Your Own Card Sets and Hats.

HiPP Organic's Brand New Look

HiPP Organic has long been renowned for its range of nutritious wholesome recipes.  From pots, jars, juices, fruit pots, cereals and tray meals, HiPP provide a range of natural, healthy meal solutions to make parenthood easier and mealtimes more convenient.

This year, HiPP have given themselves a makeover with a new fresher and friendlier logo; innovative packaging designs incorporating stylish food photography that depicts the fresh, quality produce found in their products and the introduction of a whole host of brand new products and flavours.

HiPP are also including Omega 3 into their savoury jars.  Sourced from rapeseed oil, this is good news for us vegetarians too!!  This addition will aid baby's neurological development and provide energy and goodness for maintaining mental and physical growth.

We are already big fans of HiPP Organic Inside the Wendy House. I've always used a combination of home prepared foods alongside ready made baby foods for convenience and to provide a greater range of taste experiences. I love the fact that HiPP uses organic ingredients in all its products and has such a wide range of products to choose from.  At the moment Freddy loves the Organic Elephant 'Little Nibbles' Biscuits which is part of the organic snack range of products.

I have been sent a selection of  HiPP Organic products to review, including some of the new look jars and pots, for my Tiny Tester Freddy to enjoy.  I loved the new labels with the photographs of the ingredients.  It made a really good visual showing the real quality food content of their products.  As Freddy is being raised as a vegetarian, he won't be eating the meaty meals, but he has a little friend who will enjoy eating them on his behalf!  With flavours such as Scrumptious Sunday Lunch and Sweet Carrot and Pea Risotto, I'm sure they will be very much enjoyed. Freddy was very keen to sample the Purely Fruit and the Fruit and Yogurt for himself!

Suitable for babies from 4 - 36 months (consult your health visitor for advice on weaning), the Fruit & Yogurt and Purely Fruits come in convenient single serving sized plastic pots.  Perfect for lunch or for a tea time treat, they are made from organic ingredients with no added sugar and they count as a whole portion of fruit towards baby's recommended 5 a day!

The Purely Fruits contain 100% pure organic fruit puree.  Delicious on its own or added to dried cereals, they even make a fab healthy snack for older children.  The new range includes Just Fruit with new flavours and vibrant photos of delicious looking fruits on the packaging.

The Pear with Yogurt contains a smooth blend of organic apple and pear purees with added organic yogurt.  Freddy really enjoyed eating a pot as a part of his lunch time meal.  It was very fruity and obviously very delicious as this series of photos show!  His HiPP bib looks pretty snazzy too!!

With Easter fast approaching, HiPP can also offer a helping hand to make outings and gift ideas that little bit easier.

HiPP Organic's Wholesome Pots are an ideal meal solution when out and about on a day trip or on holiday.  They are compact enough to fit into a handbag or glove compartment.  They come in resealable and reusable plastic pots making them very handy.  With gourmet sounding flavours such as Fruity Vegetable Tagine with Coucous and Sweet Red Pepper and Aubergine Penne, Freddy's vegetarian diet is well catered for too!

Your baby may be too young for a chocolate Easter egg this year, but they don't have to miss out on the fun.  Visit the new look HiPP website at www.hipp.co.uk where you can trawl the HiPP Organic shop for great gift ideas.
