With the holidays nearly upon us, children will be egg-static to receive their very own Easter egg biscuit baking kit along with a create-your-own egg hunt craft activity from Craft & Crumb.
Each kit comes with everything needed to bake and decorate a delicious batch of Easter egg shape biscuits and a craft kit to make their own hunt in the garden.
Check out Craft & Crumb’s Children’s Monthly Bake & Craft Box delivered to your door. With each monthly yummy box, you will receive a letterbox-sized jam-packed box full of food fun to keep little ones entertained.

Kutemwa is the Zambian word for ‘Love,’ carefully chosen to describe the brand’s inherent belief in valuing ourselves through practicing self-care and the daily ritual of skincare.

Musama uses this knowledge and traditions, working with scientists in the UK to create Kutemwa Skin so that people of colour can achieve the glowing skin they deserve.

Heelys, the original two-in-one wheely shoe launched in 2000, is preparing for the upcoming Easter holidays with its new spring collection. Ideal for encouraging an active, healthy lifestyle, the stylish designs will ensure kids (big and small) will roll through the holidays with ease.
The collection consists of 19 designs, including three brand new Heelys shapes: Reserve Ex, Reserve Low and Pro 20 Half Flood. The Reserve Ex has a basketball shoe style, while the Reserve Low and Pro 20 Half Flood tap into the current Y2K trend for an extra chunky sole.
Match your Heelys to your mood, with designs split across two main aesthetics – a darker colour scheme vs. a lighter, spring-inspired palette. Think camouflage print, graffiti text and paint drips contrasting with pastel colours, tie-dye, metallic laces, foil and rainbow print.
Available in the UK and Europe on the Heelys website and retailers, the collection is available in sizes C12-7 across single or two-wheeled styles. RRPs range from £49.99 to £69.99.
