Cupcake Gifts

My New Kitchen Aid Mixer - Birthday Pressie

Hello All

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas, mine has been a little hectic but all the same enjoyable.

Firstly I want to apologize (again) for my lack of attendance to my little cupcake blog, my son unfortunately is not getting any better, in fact of late worse, we thought we were going to be in hospital for Xmas but thankfully they let him out on the 23rd. So please bear with me, I have so much cupcake goodness going on in my life just very little time to share.

But on with some pictures, my birthday was a couple weeks before Xmas and I have been very fortunate to receive some awesome cupcake gifts for both occasions and I thought I would share a few if them with you.

Note board - New Look + Notebooks - Wilko

Cupcake Jar (centre) - Matalan + From Debenhams - sugar bowl and duster

Birthday goodies mainly from Next + Tea towels from Primark

Central Jar from Matalan + 2 money boxes New Look

From Tosphop - includes cases, piping kit and book

Primrose Cupcakery Book - yet to visit

Mugs - New Look and TK Maxx

Bargain Worktop Saver from Argos

Hope you have enjoyed looking at my goodies, did anyone else get some cupcake goodies I didn't cause I have some Christmas Money burning a hole.

I went in for a storage box

and came out with these fab goodies.

Some say matalan is a dive I personally say (well for today anyway) they are the shop of god's.

In all fairness every time I go to Matalan I come out with some fab finds but this time is truly one of the best, Anthea Turner has done a lovely kitsch home range there for a while and I am always tempted to buy something pretty but am always very reserved - well this time it was all thrown out the window as she has bought a cupcake collection in and I had to have it.

I got these lovely Oven Mitts, (which I am afraid will never be used - lol) tea towels which also will not be used for there purpose, I am thinking of making the Blue one a piece of art and the full patterned one a plastic bag holder and lastly the gorgeous glasses, which not only have the loveliest Cupcake design but also little pink hearts, polka dots and hearts are my other great passion.

The whole lot only cost me £20 which I personally think is a bargain

Also got an email of Ditsy Daisies this past week saying she has got more cupcake goodies in so go check it out I will be and making a nice little (he he) Xmas list for the family.

Finally a post I hear you cry..

I already have this awesome bunting my sister bought as a gift, I just can't decided how to hang.

Hi All,

Well life has been pretty difficult for me, Grayson my little cupcake has been confirmed to be quite poorly, not life threatening or anything nasty like that but he has been registered disabled at 7 months old. But I am happy to have him here no matter what, he gives the best smiles and makes your heart melt....

Cute doorstop, I must have somewhere for this.

Talking of heart's melting, something else did that to me today, I found this great site through a google search Ditsy Daisies, it is totally awesome, does some great Kara gifts and then as I started searching I realised the lovely lady Sue who owns and runs the site is also a cupcake crazer like me,when I saw her about us description I knew we were kindred spirits "A very warm welcome from Ditsy Daisies. We are based in Cumbria 10 miles from the beautiful market town of Keswick in the Lake District.

I adore anything that is cupcakes related especially if it has polka dots and try to source as many different items as is possible "

And trust me she has lots of cupcake goodies for sale, I mean seriously there is something for all tastes, I have included just a mere few of the items she sells on her site, so go check it out, I have made about a 10 page list for DH to look at for birthday, Xmas or just cause (have to be just cause pressies) I am sure you will find a list too.

Great Cupcake magnet and tote bag, how nice would shopping be with this bag.

I am loving this car freshener I must get one of these, I have been looking for one for quite a while.

Thanks for popping by, don't forget to pop to Ditsy Daisies and say hi or even buy.

Amazon Sells More than just Books

Great Trucker Hat (available in many colours) * Cupcake Building Toys * Silicone Cupcake Trivet *Cupcake Tea Set * Cupcake Doggy Cushion * Cupcake Light Plaque

Once upon a time Amazon sold just books and DVD's and although this was fab and helped immensely in fueling my cupcake love it now is 100 % better, cause now Amazon sells so much more, below I have shown just a small collection of my favourite Cupcake goodies to be found on the wonderful world of Amazon.
So if you do one thing today spoil yourself Amazon sells cupcakes goodies from £1 to £100.

Oh I could not stop myself

Now some of you may not know this but I have 2 obsessions in life (well actually loads but these 2 matter now) SHOPPING and CUPCAKES so over the past couple shopping trips I have been able to help both of these, so I thought I would show my goodies.


Firstly I went into Debenhams (a British Department store) to just take a peek at there cupcake range and I saw this kitchen timer, well I need a timer, so I thought oh I will have to buy it as it was a need not a want - lol.

I also saw these cute little shorts and thought hey anything with cupcakes will look cute no matter the size of the tosh. The cards I have bought for ART, this is something I have done for years since having my first house with not a lot of funds, I buy gift cards I like the print on and then put them in frames etc, so these 2 cupcake cards could not be passed up, once there up in the kitchen I shall show you again.

Lastly I was so happy when I went to get some of my usual magazines and found Good Homes and Crafts Beautiful both featuring Cupcakes and even some cupcake decorative papers, so all in all my shopping week has rocked and total cost for the lot under £30, no complaints.

See you tomorrow - cupcake dreams.
