Festive Fun With Ben And Holly


Christmas is just around the corner. At Christmas we love spending time as a family and getting up to lots of fun. This Christmas we have managed to fit lots of things in including our fun yearly visit to Santa. This year as part of our Ben and Holly Ambassador role, we have been doing lots of fun activities on top of what we would normally do at Christmas.

Over on Ben And Holly's website you are able to see what fun activities there are to keep your little ones busy over the next week. There are some great ideas

Penwizard Ben & Holly Christmas Book - Review

This Christmas Maxwell was very excited to receive a simple but magical book. The book that Maxwell received was from Penwizard. For anyone that is not aware of Penwizard, Penwizard are a talented company that offer a wide range of different children books which can be personalised not only with your child's name inside but with their looks too. The books also allows personalised messages to be written inside them. One of my favourite things about Penwizard is that they offer a range of books that include many children's favourite characters in.



This Christmas Maxwell was sent  a "Maxwell's Christmas at the North Pole" book. The book is already a firm favourite in our house and has been looked at every day since we received it. The book is based on two of Maxwell's favourite TV characters, Ben and Holly. However the book also includes a character which is based on Maxwell.

The book tells a story of Maxwell, Ben and Holly going on an adventure to the North Pole around Christmas time. The book see's the 3 friends hold a close friendship and bond. It shows children or the reader of the book a happy story about Christmas. The book is special to Maxwell due to the amazing illustrations that it holds and the personalised touch that wishes Maxwell a happy Christmas from Ben and  Holly.


As a parent, I love the story that is inside this book. Using Maxwell as a character inside the book holds Maxwell's attention and gives Maxwell a chance to ask me about different things that are inside the book when we are reading it together.

For anyone that knows me, knows I love personalised things. One of my favourite items that we have been gifted this Christmas is this book. Although it is a simple idea and an inexpensive gift, it has created many smiles in our household and Maxwell has adored reading his special book which includes his 2 favourite TV characters, Ben and Holly.

Ben & Holly Elf and Fairy Party #ElfAndFairyParty

Every now and again Maxwell and I get sent lovely emails. Recently we were asked if we would like to be ambassadors for a lovely set of people. You may have noticed the shiny new badge that's made it's way onto my blog, if you look down the page you will be able to see that I am lucky enough to be one of Ben and Holly's official bloggers.

Recently Ben & Holly got in touch with us to let us know they would love for us to hold a Ben & Holly Party. The party that we will be holding will be held later on in the year. We have lots of plans for our party however we are also lucky enough to be able to access lots of fun downloads to make our party super fun and more organised. Each week Maxwell and I will be creating something and planning on how to make our party fun for all.

This week Maxwell and I will be focusing on invites. Before Maxwell and I decide to write our invites, we will need to plan. We need to plan our venue, the start time and end time of our party. Maxwell and I have decided that we will host our party at home and we have decided that the party will last 1 hour 30 mins. This will give us enough time to eat, play games and have a little dance.

As the party is only a few week's away, we have decided that we need to get our invites out ASAP in order for people to know that we are having a party. Luckily for us, there is a fantastic download on Ben & Holly's website so we send out our invites tomorrow. You are able to see our invites below.
