Degustabox. I like you...

Apart from the fact my Mum keeps calling you "Disgustabox" and thinks she's really funny.

Yes, it's one of those subscription boxes; the world of which is seemingly overwhelming. There's all sorts of food ones being proper meals to cook, expensive cheese and wine or snacks. There's boxes for beauty, crafts, gaming, household items - you name it, there's probably a subscription box for it.

I had a graze box each week for a bit which was good at the time, I cancelled only because I was getting bored of the snacks after a while. Saying that though, the snacks are really good. I always loved the flapjacks most, especially the honeycomb one. You can check it out here, using my code which will get you your first box free. If it's not for you, you can cancel after the first one and pay nothing. Otherwise, if you do like it and decide to keep it on, it's £3.99 a box (however often you set it up for) but you'll also get your 5th and 10th boxes free:

Then I found Degustabox advertised somewhere and thought I'd give it a go. The first one was half price so it didn't really matter if I didn't like some of the things in it. I happened to be quite impressed with the amount of really good food and drink products in there and kept it on at £12.99 a month which sounds quite a lot but of course, it is food and drink that you may well be buying anyway. It's generally around £23 worth of products so less than you'd pay at the supermarket and tends to be new things you might not have seen or tried otherwise. I received this month's box a couple of days ago and it's the best yet. It's got drinks like J20 Spritz, crisps made by the London Crisp Company (the best prawn cocktail crisps I've had!), Mr Kipling cranberry and oat slices and Divine caramel chocolate among other lovely things...and a random bottle of vinegar...

I like that it's not little samplers, it full packages of everything like 500ml bottles of drinks, 150g big bags of crisps and 5/6 pack cereal bars. They send you a A4 sheet showing you what've they've sent you and what it is/what they like about it. It's a really nice surprise each month and I find it exciting to look through what I've been sent to try.

You can have a look at this one too using the link below and if you join you'll get a £6 discount and again, you can cancel whenever you like. If you have a look at the "our boxes" tab at the top of the page, it'll show you what has been in previous boxes so you get an idea of what to expect.

This sounded like a bit of an advert but it's part of what I enjoy and what I get up to which is what a blog is, I suppose, so I thought I'd let you know about it and give you the opportunity to have a look for yourselves. And while we're here; if you do all your online shopping through Top Cashback you'll earn money back for nearly everything you buy. Seriously, pretty much every shop or company is on there offering some cashback from buying some clothes to upgrading your phone contract to signing up for Sky. It's basically really silly to buy anything online before looking on there first. All you have to do once registered is search the site you're wanting to buy from and click the link and then just use the site as you normally would and your purchase is tracked and you'll get some money back.

Thanks for reading, there won't be many of these where I send you to sign up to loads of things so don't panic! Let me know your thoughts - what you think of these and even if there's any other subscription boxes that you receive each week or month that you enjoy!
At the moment I'm thinking that I'll alternate posts; maybe 2 a week - one of which will be gaming and the other will be something else entirely and who knows what about...?

Chow for now,

A venture into the gaming world..?

Well, I've been there before but maybe you haven't.

Here we go again on this ol' blog but hopefully I can start thinking about it again now (please refer to previous blog). I've been wanting to write something for a while now to get it going but any inspiration and motivation was just not really stirring. Then I realised that it doesn't just have to be about my daily life and whatever's going on in my head at that point - there's really not a whole lot of material there.

I play video games a fair bit so I reckon I'll jump on that. Not literally. That would be an expensive hobby. Reviews aren't really my thing. Not to write, but not to read either. It's a weird thing, I find, to have one person tell the millions of people that will play it what they think of it. And then give it a score which most people will just go "meh" about and then play it themselves to see what they think  anyway. Because...as is often forgotten in today's world...we're all DIFFERENT. As my Mum always says; it'd be boring if we were all the same. This is mainly when we talk about how everyone is always so bothered about how others spend their lives, instead of just getting on with their own. As you can probably tell; I don't much like judgement. I couldn't care less what everyone else is up to and what they like to do and how they like to do them - as long as they are happy, healthy and not hurting anyone in the process..."whatevs".

I'm going to turn this into a regular thing not only so that I actually have a schedule to know what I need to do and have to do it, but so that you will know what's happening too. So this is where I ask
for a little help (and I mean it!). Let me know in the comments below or on my blog's Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/falvslittleworld/

1) What day/time to publish each new blog. I know, obviously you can read it anytime but it's more about when I'll be letting you now it's up and you have the time to go read it and hopefully not forget! In the meantime, be sure to use the buttons to the right to sign up via email or Bloglovin' and you'll know for sure that way too.
2) As above, I will be featuring some gaming posts now and I will try to make it so that it's not all technical (honestly, I don't know half of that side of things myself) and anyone should feel they can read about it and not be completely mind-boggled by it. BUT if there are any other things or indeed, specific games you'd like me to talk about...comments below please!
3) Anything that will make this better and easier for you to read helps me too, so anything else you want to suggest or ask me to change (within reason, of course - personality is not an option here. Sorry), whatever it is, you get the gist....

Tah for reading this though. It's more of a decision post than a standard one, I won't be asking you for your life story in all of them, so don't be put off. Not unless you'd like me to, anyway.

Chow for now,
Falv
