Frost Loves KidiZoom PrintCam For Christmas & Beyond

Posted on by

I love it when my kids get creative, and I love pictures of them, so this VTech KidiZoom PrintCam is more of a present for me, albeit one that they will love. This super-smart camera lets your kids instantly print pictures of themselves, no ink required. It has over 150 photo effects and activities. What’s more it can print up to 80 black & white photos per roll. It has three games and it also records video.

What’s more it has a comic strip maker, and you can even print off your own cards and pretend money. It’s a fantastic present and I cannot recommend it enough.

Move over David Bailey, step aside Mr Rankin – it’s time to meet the next generation of photography pros with the VTech KidiZoom PrintCam.

Just in time for Christmas, VTech has got a fresh new addition to its KidiZoom line with the VTech KidiZoom PrintCam – a children’s camera for 5+ years that lets budding photographers print their images immediately, on the go, within minutes. No more waiting to get to a printer!

 

Unleash little ones’ creativity with included special photo effects, stamps and borders, as well as 3 games, panoramic prints, and a comic strip maker! It’s just as easy to create whacky selfies with the flip up lens that allows full use of the camera without changing hand positions! You can also turn your photos into line drawings to colour or use the print shop to print games, design and print your own cards, or even pretend money and accessories.

 

That’s not all though, when combined with a micro-SD Card (not supplied), it functions as a normal digital camera, enabling children to keep their images forever, whether that’s to print them out again in full colour, or for you to save and treasure them for years to come.

 

This is the ultimate device for imaginative and curious children and will unlock a world of creative and artistic opportunity – while you hopefully get some well-earned downtime!

 

RRP: £69.99 | Available from: Smyths Toys Superstores / Argos / Very and Amazon.

Give the gift of clear skin this Christmas with skin:genius

Posted on by

This Christmas, give the gift of clear skin with the multi-award-winning 100% natural skin:genius range.

skin:genius

Its special-price festive pack is beautifully presented in a cotton s:g bag and includes: a 100ml Cleansing Face Wash (Best Cleanse  Forever); 30ml Leave-on Purifying Gel (All’s Well That Gels Well); 50ml Calming Moisturiser (Soothe Operator) and 10ml Spot Zapper (Hits The Spot) alongside a cotton flannel and lavender bag.  Worth £75.00, this festive bundle costs £60.00.

 

Specifically formulated to prevent and reduce acne, breakouts and spot-prone skin in teens and adults, skin:genius is packed with anti-bacterial ingredients that tackle the bacteria which commonly cause these problems.  The synergistic behaviour of its natural ingredients – including Red Clover, Nettle, Roman Chamomile, Oregon Grape, Witch Hazel, Marsh Mallow and Calendula – reduces inflammation and redness while hydrating, calming and smoothing irritated skin.

 

Rich in anti-oxidants, skin:genius products bring positive results from using high-quality, proven, natural and organic ingredients that work with the skin. Unlike many other products, skin:genius® uses a high number of quality active ingredients in lower concentrations, reducing any risk of sensitivity to the products while multiplying the benefits. This means you can attack one issue from many angles, achieving excellent results in a powerful yet gentle way.

 

Its Cleansing Face Wash, Leave-on Purifying Gel, Soothing Moisturiser and Hits The Spot all help to keep the skin clear by tackling the causes – not just the symptoms – of troublesome skin. They smell and feel wonderful and would make a super gift for anyone with problem skin.

 

Cleansing Face Wash – ‘best cleanse forever’

Bursting with Calendula, Red Clover and Lemongrass, this gentle daily face wash effectively removes impurities and excess oil, cleanses and cleans the face without over-drying the skin. Its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory action reduces rashes, redness and irritation leaving a more even skin tone.

Leave-On Purifying Gel – ‘all’s well that gels well’

This maximum strength, fast-acting gel tackles inflamed spots and reduces redness immediately, to quickly bring relief and results. Easily absorbed, it’s loaded with Oregon Grape, Nettle and Roman Chamomile to help tackle breakouts while preventing the bacteria that cause acne and spots. Its antioxidant and antibacterial ingredients help improve the skin’s immune function while reducing redness and irritation.  It works best when used at bedtime and left to work its magic overnight.

Soothing Moisturiser – ‘soothe operator’

Calming and light, this balancing moisturiser provides skin with long-lasting hydration while minimising the appearance of pores and scarring.  Babassu, Macadamia and Hazelnut nourish the skin and leave it feeling silky smooth. It is rich in vitamin E to aid skinrecovery and naturally collagen-boosting. Importantly, it contains ingredients that behave similarly to sebum which signal to your skinto stop producing this substance which, when produced excessively, leads to oily skin and blocked pores.

 

Spot Zapper – ‘Hits The Spot’

Designed to stop a spot in its tracks. You simply apply one dot of this maximum-strength, fast-acting gel as a direct hit to help restore calm. Loaded with Oregon Grape, Nettle, Roman Chamomile and Yarrow, Hits The Spot helps fight and prevent the bacteria that cause spots and breakouts. It’s also high in antioxidants to protect and soothe inflamed skin and reduce redness.

Deliveroo and BGT’s Kojo Anim Launch Christmas Crackers That Will Help to Crack Hunger for UK Families in Need

Posted on by

Deliveroo has teamed up with Britain’s Got Talent finalist and cult funnyman Kojo Anim, to launch a range of magical charity Christmas crackers called ‘Crackers Cracking Hunger’, to help provide crucial meals for families in need.  

Each box of six crackers is beautifully festive and costs £10, all of which will be donated to The Felix Project and FareShare.

Instead of finding silly throwaway toys inside the crackers, customers will find a Christmas hat and a rather witty bespoke joke from Kojo Anim himself. 

crackers, christmas

Each £10 box will provide the equivalent of a week of meals for a household in need by redistributing good food that would otherwise go to waste. The crackers are made from 100% recyclable materials. 

This comes as it was reported that 1.3m UK families relied on food parcels over the festive period* last Christmas, and this year, millions will also rely on food banks and charities.

Customers should search ‘Crackers Cracking Hunger’ to find an Editions near them. Any Deliveroo customers who are not within delivery of a participating Editions, or who would like to make a monetary donation rather than receiving crackers, can still support the cause by making a donation on the ‘Crackers Cracking Hunger – Make a Donation’ page. 100% of all donations will support Deliveroo’s efforts to deliver more meals to families who need them via The Felix Project and FareShare. 

Each box of six crackers costs £10 and 100% of this cost will be donated to the charities. Delivery and service fees will still apply.

Little ones can now take Myla to a make-believe hair salon with a beautiful array of stylish hair options. From giving her a simply brush with a comb, to unlocking her full potential with a stupendous selection of clips – Myla is getting ready for her festive debut. 

Most notably, Myla has a magical wand that allows children the opportunity to express their full fashionista. By selecting any colour on the wand, you’ll be able to apply a sprinkle of colour to her horn, eyes and wings before watching in amazement as they magically light up in the chosen colour. She’ll also light up if you blow her a kiss! 

Myla can also bring a sparkle of magic to your play-area, with wings that flap in time with the music she plays. And when it all get’s a little much, Myla will also tuck her legs under and have a nap – encouraging little ones to think creatively about dreamtime.
