Goodmans Copper Canvas Radio



From a young age I grew up listening to music and enjoying it. When I was smaller I used to lay in front of the TV and watch Top Of The Pops. As I grew up I carried on enjoying music and used to love listening to the radio and practicing my singing in a karaoke machine, more recently since Maxwell was born I adore listening to the latest hits on the radio. I love listening to the radio in our home, in the car and even in the garden. Recently I was sent a Goodmans canvas radio.

For decades Goodmans has been a household name. They are known for there great quality products which are stylish, smartly designed and great value for money. From loudspeakers, radios and digital TV, it’s their business to bring innovative products within everyone’s reach.

When I received the Goodmans canvas radio I was impressed by its compact size, I thought it would sit well on my bedside table however it would also be great to take downstairs at night when I sit down to blog. The copper colour of the canvas radio was unique and I felt it matched the bedroom interior well. The radio is also available in Apple Green and Slate so there is a colour to suit everyone's tastes. 

The radio was easy to set up and I was instantly impressed that not only could the radio be powered by mains power, it could also be used with a single set of batteries. Due to this handy feature I think the Goodmans radio would be a handy tool to take away with me on holiday to keep up to date with the local news, music hits and weather. I also thought that it would be perfect in the summer to take out in the garden as it would enable me to listen to the football. The radio last's up to 9 hours when powered by batteries.

The canvas radio does not need any programming and can be used straight away. The radio can pick up either Dab Digital or FM Radio stations and as soon as it picks up a station you are able to listen clearly thanks to the great audio sound which the canvas radio features. If you do not want to listen to the radio aloud then there is a headphone socket which enables you to listen to the radio quietly. 

When the radio is in use you are able to see what station you are tuned into thanks to a small LCD screen. The small screen has a back light which can be turned on which means in the dark you are able to read the LCD screen clearly.

The Goodmans Canvas Radio is priced at just £29.99 which I think is a great price for such a good quality item. Just in time for Christmas Mummy To The Max has the opportunity to offer one lucky reader the chance to win one.

SnapBox Canvas Print Review

Are you looking for quality products that capture memories?
A great price and easy experience?

I am not the most amazing photographer but I love to capture as many memories as I can of Maxwell. Every photo I take, I want to be able to look back and remember why I took that photo. I use my mobile to take a lot of my photos and I often share my pictures on Facebook and on my blog however I very rarely print the photos off, meaning that over the last few years I have managed to loose a lot of them.

We were recently sent a voucher code to treat ourselves to a canvas from SnapBox. SnapBox is the photo keepsake that every photo deserves. SnapBox allows you to bring your stories to life.

I popped over to the SnapBox site and found it was really easy to use. I simply downloaded my picture from my computer and uploaded it to the site. I was then able to choose weather to edit the picture or not. I decided to change it to black and white. I was then able to choose a size I wanted my picture and I was then able to place my order.

The picture sizes come in:
5×5 inches = 12.70cm x 12.70cm
9×9 Inches = 22.86cm x 22.86cm
5×7 Inches = 12.70cm x 17.78cm
8×10 Inches = 20.30cm x 25.40cm
10×13 Inches = 25.40cm x 33.00cm


I opted for the largest, 25 x 33cm which would usually cost £34.99.

My canvas came 2 days after I placed the order. It was wrapped securely and packaged well eliminating any damage which may occur when transporting it to our home.  Once unwrapped I was surprised at the high quality.

I have never purchased a canvas print before so I didn't really know what to expect but I have to say that I'm very impressed! The quality all around is good. The picture is clear and it does not look like a cheap print. The print comes with a black wooden frame and you are able to have the frame
free-standing on the mantelpiece or you are able to hang it on a wall as it has the fixtures to enable you to do this. The frame is a massive plus in my book.

The canvas was reasonably priced and the quality was high however the only thing I would change about SnapBox is that they make larger prints. I would like to make a photo of Maxwell a feature point in my house however the picture we got is simply not large enough to let us do this and this is the largest size they do.

You are able to find out more information over on Snapbox's website.

I did not receive any financial reward for writing this review.
However we did receive the product for review purposes. Everything written in this post is my own, honest opinion.
