Maxwell & Williams Teas & C’s Kasbah Rose Two Tiered Cup Cakes Stand

If you love having friends around as you enjoy the lovely spring weather in the garden either for coffee and cake or a birthday celebration then this Maxwell & Williams Teas & C’s Kasbah Rose Two Tiered Cup Cakes Stand might just be the ticket for you.

The stand has been beautifully designed by Maxwell Williams and has a Morrocan themed print, with pink, purple, orange and gold colouring. These dishes would be perfect for presenting chocolates on or little square fondant fancies as they are smaller to your normal cake stand and measure approximately 19cm wide by 22cm high.

The tiers are made from fine porcelain and comes in a beautiful gift box and with the stand being small it won’t take up too much room in your cupboard either and can be easily put together and dismantled again when your treats have been eaten.

The Maxwell & Williams Teas & C’s Kasbah Rose Two Tiered Cup Cakes Stand can be bought from Cook Serve Enjoy, who  also sell a delightful range of homeware, cookware and gadgets. The stand costs £25.99 and if well protected can be posted as a gift to the person you chose to gift it to.

Spice Mix Set from Just Spices

One of the best things about the start of spring is the sunshine and the motivation for us all to get in our gardens to start weeding, planting and getting the garden furniture out.  It is also the time for us to plan garden/barbeque parties and start having family and friends around for a meal as we all bask in the glorious weather.

In this guide, we are showcasing a selection of spices from Just Spices to help you create a variety of low-carb and protein-rich dishes to enjoy.  These spices also make a lovely Father’s Day gift for dads who love to grill, cook and bake. You can pick gift boxes from their website or select individual spice mix of your preference.

In this guide, we are featuring the Chicken Curry Seasoning, Chicken Seasoning, Meat Allrounder, Ground Meat Seasoning, Meat & Roast Seasoning as well as the Burger Seasoning which can be used to flavour a dish or as a marinade or rub.  There are lots of recipe ideas on their website which you can download if you are lacking inspiration.

Don’t worry if you are vegan,  vegetarian or pescatarian as these spices (which are developed in Germany) can also be used on tofu, fish or meat alternatives as the spices as made using 100% vegan and natural ingredients.  Priced at £22.99, you can purchase these spices from their website here. There is also free shipping for orders above £15. Note: we have featured the Weber’s Barbeque Bible Cookbook in this photo which we have previously showcased in our guide.

Phlat Ball Classic Assortment

We love adding new garden toys to our ever-growing collection and this year, we are including The Phlat Ball Classic which is a unique toy that transforms from a 23cm flying dics to a 16cm ball when thrown.

It took a little getting used to the ball but made squeezing, throwing and catching a ball a lot more fun as we had to throw the ball before it popped.  My children and I soon found ourselves running around the garden flinging a disc but then catching a ball.

Suitable for children aged 5, this is such a toy that even adults would love to join in. This can be purchased from Smyths Toys for £12.99 and comes in attractive colours.  The Phlat Ball also packs flat hence easy to pack into your bags to take with you if you are heading to the park or on a holiday. Just make sure that it is in-between heavy/bulky items as it may pop back into a ball in no time.

The Henry Bell Sterling Collection 

Spring time and birds, they definitely go hand in hand hence we are promoting a wonderful range of products from Henry Bell as they sell a high-quality range of feed and accessories designed to provide health and wellbeing for wild birds.

One of the main thing on my mind when Spring arrives is to get my skin and body ready for Summertime from getting a  pedicures, reducing my calorie intake to ensuring that I have glowing skin.

In this guide, we will be showcasing a luxurious and award winning moisturiser called Flawless Photoglow with SPF 30+ from Transformulas which is not only going to keep your skin supple but guard it against UV rays as well.

Recommended for daily use, this cream helps protect skin against signs of ageing while rejuvenating the skin’s natural radiance.  I am often in a rush in the morning so this cream works perfectly for me as it moisturises and doubles as a sunscreen and skin primer as well.

Supporting brands such as Transformulas with good ethos is so important for me personally, and as I am well aware, our readers.   Transformulas not only supports non surgical radiance but are cruelty free and their products are not tested on animals.  All of their products are labelled as vegetarians as some may contain beewax or fish collagen, hence it is not 100% vegan yet.

The Flawless Photoglow comes in three sizes, 50ml which is priced at £61, 100ml which is priced at £90 and 150ml which is priced at £120 and can be purchased from Transformulas directly.
