Mulled Wine, Snow and a Review

If like me your in the UK then chances are that you have experienced at least a moderate amount of snow over the last few days. But how do you survive these cold spells in good humour? Personally it’s all made me feel rather festive and in the spirit of this I thought I’d bring you this review today. As one of CSN stores preferred bloggers I was recently been given an opportunity to review another item from one of their online stores. With Christmas fast approaching I chose to review the Sagaform Thermal Glass Mulled Wine Mugs (set of 4).

Delivery & Packaging

Delivery was very prompt and as usual carried out by UPS. These are obviously delicate items but they were well packaged and protected.

Do The Mugs Work?

This evening we made some mulled wine and poured it into the glasses. The outside of the mugs stayed cool and easy to hold. But the mulled wine kept it’s temperature for a considerable time. I was very impressed by how well they worked. The design is very clever, but does mean that the glasses feel very fragile. I haven’t dropped one so I’m not sure how robust they are. But then again no glassware is every truly durable.

Would I recommend them?

Definitely! They would make a wonderful gift, or great for when you have friends over during the festive period. They aren’t that large so no one can get overly tipsy, but they offer a lovely little touch to your festivities. The designs are very cute as well.

It’s nearly Christmas

Finally managed to snatch a moment to write a new blog. Life has been somewhat crazy here of late. We’ve had driving tests, a family wedding is literally around the corner, not to mention Christmas. Somewhere amongst all of this we have to buy and wrap presents, decorate the house, look fabulous for the wedding and all while trying not to look like we’ve lost too much sleep. Plus the usual rush in our own business. We haven’t participated in the usual festive fairs this year, there simply hasn’t been the time. Come January 2010 though it will be all go.

Anyway I’ve been searching for interesting decorations to liven up the house this year and the designs of Prince Design UK really caught my eye. I am particularly in love with this little set

They’re handmade from clay and I think they would look fabulous against the green background of a tree.
