A wish for cosy afternoons PLUS A GIVEAWAY

13 sleeps till Christmas! This is the most exciting time of the year but also one when we feel drained, longing for that well-deserved Christmas break when we can just chill in your PJs in the best Hygge style you can achieve at home.

Smile for the 7th wish...

I still remember my first digital camera, I was so excited to get it and use it, it had a tiny screen and probably only had a 2 megapixel image sensor. Don't we just love how things have evolved over the last two decades? However today's wish brings you something just a bit traditional but with lots of fun guaranteed!
