Last year Lamb reviewed SuperZings Series 1 and became hooked after the first blind bag. We’ve spent many months buying blind bag after blind bag trying to complete the collection. But alas we did not succeed. We’re determined to get the full set though!
Lamb has been desperate for series 2 to launch and we have finally been sent a selection of the new collectables to show you!
You were once oh so young and free, and then you had children. Now, you know that you love them and wouldn’t change your circumstances for the world, but still, it can sometimes be a little frustrating that your whole life now revolves around the kids. But who says it has to be like that all the time? It doesn’t! While you can’t go off gallivanting with your other half every weekend, there’s no reason why you can’t have the occasional date night. We take a look at how to have one below.
Ok I admit it, Bear isn’t a baby. He’s well and truly a toddler and has been for a while! We can’t help but hold on to his early years and still see him as our baby. He’s so diddy!
The thing is, he acted like a toddler a lot sooner than his big brother did. And although he’s a lot smaller, he’s much feistier and active.
A few months ago Safety 1st got in touch and asked if we wanted to choose a few of their products to update our home to be more toddler friendly. I had a look and they had a few items I knew we would find useful.
I’m a good driver. I passed first time and the only driving incident I’ve had was the car crash in 2015, which was of no fault of my own. Some stupid woman was playing dodgems and randomly slammed into my car as we drove past each other.
I’m happy to admit I’m a confident driver, but how much do I actually know about cars and how to keep them safe?
Not a lot of people realise quite how many different kinds of kitchen sink can be found on the modern market. Until you’ve spent some time searching for these products, this field will often seem mysterious, even if you already have an idea of what you’d like in mind. This diversity can make it hard for those designing a new kitchen, with all of the other work you have to do making it impossible to spend too long thinking about the sink. To help you out with this, this post will be exploring some of the best modern sink options, giving you an idea of where they fit into kitchen interior design.
You’ve almost certainly seen a Belfast sink before. Often used as a primary feature in the kitchen, this sort of water container stands unique amongst its alternatives, offering the chance to throw your kitchen into decades gone by. They will usually be too large to sit inside your work surfaces, leaving one side exposed to the rest of the room. This can make your kitchen feel like a cottage, stately home, or even the sort of space which would be found in a business setting. As the only catch, you’ll have to have special cabinets fitted to make an option like this work.
Some people will prefer to be a little more subtle when it comes to their kitchen sink, opting to hide most of it as best they can. Under cabinet sinks have started to find popularity around the world, giving you the chance to have your sink sunk into your work surfaces, while also keeping it nice and easy to access. Like a Belfast sink, this sort of product can be used to make a room feel like part of a much older home. You won’t need to replace your cabinets, though, with a swap of the work surfaces often being enough to make installing one possible.
Minimal design has been getting more and more popular over the last few years. When it comes to the kitchen sink, this can be an important feature to have, and a lot of people will want an option which doesn’t distract from the rest of the room. Some are made from stone, like granite, while others are put together using plastics and other synthetic materials, giving you loads of scope when it comes to matching the rest of the space. Colour is one of the biggest parts of a sink like this, as the resources they are made from come in loads of different shades.
While they aren’t as desirable as they used to be, stainless steel sinks still hold a place in a lot of people’s hearts. Providing a hard wearing material which will last for decades without showing signs of damage, this sort of sink can be the best option for family homes, as they make it practically impossible to ruin the look you’ve worked hard to achieve. They will fit right at home in all kitchens, new and old, and they are also one of the most affordable options on the market. You have loads of choices when it comes to sinks which are made from metal like this.
Choosing the sink for your kitchen can be a time consuming process, especially when you’re renovating the whole space. The company providing the rest of the fittings will probably have some ideas for you, giving you the chance to get a head start with it. But, if you want to keep your space unique, it will be worth looking for your sink by yourself. Websites like Instagram can be a great help when it comes to this work, providing you with practically endless inspiration, while also enabling you to get an insight into current trends. Of course, along with this, you could also consider visiting some stores to take a look at the sinks you like the most in the flesh.
Even when broken down into categories like this, you will still find a huge range of diversity in the world of sinks. Over the years, loads of companies have moved away from the typical options found in most older kitchens, opening the doors to fresh ideas and more daring designs. Of course, though, this doesn’t mean that you should choose any old sink for your space, and it’s always worth doing plenty of research to make sure that you’re going for an example which will enhance the work you’ve already done.
