Some more Christmas gift ideas

Hannah Zakari's website has long been a favourite of mine - mainly due to my love of the gorgeous rabbit vase which I've been lusting after for a while. They also have some lovely cupcakes items including this cute little bag (perfect for wrapping a stocking filler perhaps), cupcake brooch and matching necklace, and finally for every Delia fan out there - a lovely sampler perfect for any Delia fans kitchen.

Bad cupcake bag

As seen on Cupcakes Take the Cake via their Twitter feed (I adore Twitter!) this really cute bad cupcake bag by Archie McPhee is just so cute. I don't really need another cupcake bag but this one is proving difficult to resist ;)

The site has a host of cute cupcake items including the oil painting, and lots of Halloween goodies, BUT you cannot order online from the UK, you have to fax or call and they have a minimum order of $50 plus shipping :(

That reminds me Archie McPhee also do cupcake bandages which someone (cough cough) promised to get me some time ago from the Primrose Bakery!

Freshly baked goodies from Johnny Cupcakes

I've loved Johnny Cupcakes for ages and ever since I got my first tshirt last month (Thank KK!!) I've been keeping an eye on the site more than ever to check for "freshly baked" goodies.

Recently Johnny's collaborated with Looney Tunes on some Tshirts however I've not fallen in love with them so much as they don't feature my favourite character - Marvin the Martin - I do like them but just prefer his own stuff really. And I'm loving the new goods added today, including a backpack, notebook, pencil AND for Halloween Johnny Cupcakes vampire teeth \m/

I cannot wait till he opens a London store!!! hint hint ;)

I heart Paperchase

Saturday morning I was awoken at an ungodly hour as Manny was off to band practice so I decided to go up to Denmark Street with him and check out what other cupcake goodies I could pick up in Paperchase at their flagship store in Tottenham Court Road, following my recent discovery of their new cupcake range there.

I didn't buy everything in the range, but I picked up a couple of bits - including a little tote bag with two cupcakes and a coffee on the front and a lovely pair of bookmarks! I also got a couple of cute cards - think I'll frame the Hello Cupcake one and give the party animal one to someone for their birthday. 

Paperchase goes cupcake crazy

It seems every time I go to Paperchase they have added to their cupcake items which makes me happy! On Thursday I popped into the Covent Garden store and picked up a few items - a media case for my Ipod, a foldable shopping bag (cute AND good for the planet!) and a utensil holder for my kitchen. 

They also had some egg-cups, key-covers, luggage labels and some other bits. I'm going to pop up to their flagship store on Tottenham Court Road this week and check out the rest of the range :) 

Paul's Boutique cupcake handbag

I'm not usually a fan of Paul's Boutique stuff - probably because every person on my bus in the morning seems to be carrying a bag of theirs and they look kinda like fake Chloe padlock bags,  but I'm really quite keen on this pink Barbie bag featuring a cute cupcake badge :)

You can buy it from asos for £80. 

Lots of cupcake goodies

In Debenham's Red Herring collection. From £3 for the make up bag to £15 for the beauty bag. Must go to Debenhams asap incase they have any other goodies with cupcakes on :)

Sorry the pic cuts off a bit but its the best I could piece together! Check their website to see the full size!

Cute cupcake bag

I can't remember if I got round to blogging this when I originally saw it so am blogging it now its in ASOS's sale. And a bargain at £8!

Gifts!

From me to myself and also from the lovely Manny to me!

How great is my husband - he read on my blog that I liked the mirror and key covers from Jukupop in my post a couple of days ago and....well today, they arrived and are now all mine :) Thanks hon -they're ultra cute and I got a free lolly!

Also yesterday after a hard week at work I decided to treat myself to this cute little pair of bags from Paperchase. The little felt one is now sitting on our shelf unit looking cute amongst all the other cupcake stuff, the other one will be used to carry my lunch to work :)

Cupcakes save polar bears

Well probably not...but buying this bag and taking it shopping with you rather than getting lots of yukky plastic ones just might!

Some days I just want to hugs the ladies from Cupcakes Take the Cake for alerting me to this stuff! And even better the store you can buy it from, Exit 9, is about 5mins walk from where I'm staying in NY....wuhu!

Thanks to CTTC for the pics :)

Birdie says...

Found while searching for cupcake goodies this afternoon - Gisele Jaquenod's blog and this utterly cute birdie says cupcake goodies!

How adorable!!!

Buy a cupcake, help a pussy cat :)

Last weekend I received this gorgeous cupcake shopper from the Cats Protection League that I ordered a few weeks ago. You can buy it here for the bargain price of £9.99 - they also have some other cupcake goodies for sale including this rather spiffy mug! So go buy some and help a little kitty have a better life!

Talking of pussy cats and cupcakes I couldn't resist sharing pics of the fab cupcakes I found on the site A Cat in the Kitchen - how cute are they - the recipe can be found here.

Box of cupcake goodies

There were so many cute pics to share I couldn't fit it all into one post so had to make it into two!

As well as the fantastic cupcake Manowar bag Renee made me she also bought me some fantastic cupcake goodies, including some fab sprinkles, with some fab cow, dolphin and dinosaur ones, black sugar and some fab cupcake cakes! Also some incredibly cute silly feet silicone cupcakes cases! How cool are they!! I cannot wait to get baking and use them! Think I'll have to take a day off work to bake! And to top it all they all came wrapped up in a ultra-cute cupcake bag!

In all it was a box of total cuteness which put a smile on my face for days, and still continues to do so!

When I get baking using htem I shall take pics and post them - I only wish Renee didn't live so far away so she could try my silly feet cupcakes! She really deserves a cupcake for sending me such grand goodies!

All hail Manowar!

and my adorable friend Renee, and of course cupcakes!!!

I don't think there was anyone in the world luckier than me last week when a HUGE parcel arrived from the States for me from my lovely chum Renee. I almost died when I opened it - inside was a veritable feast of cupcake goodness.

First and foremost she had hand-made me the most fantastic handbag from a tshirt of my favourite band in the world MANOWAR and some cupcaketastic material she'd found! How cool is it!!! Seriously I don't think I've ever received such a cool gift!! The only thing that could better it would be Joey De Maio covered in frosting but hey I couldn't carry my shopping in him ;)

All hail Renee :)

Its raining cupcakes....

If it was I would be shouting HALLELUJAH...with a mouth full of cupcake of course!!

In honour of the lovely spring weather we've been having in London I decided to look for some rain-related cupcake goodies and was rather chuffed to find this rather spiffing Radley cupcake umbrella!!! Its not on the Radley website at the moment but you can buy it here - I'm going to pop into Radley in the next few days and see if they have it in store. It perfectly matches my lovely cupcake bag I got from there last week :)

If the price tag is a bit too much you can try this slightly cheaper one.

Oh and the Radley one comes in different colours, black and yellow, if for some reason you don't like pink!

Watch out for the evil cupcakes...

Last week my devilishly cute devil cupcake bag arrived from Ebay as made by MTCoffinz - they do a whole range of fab cupcake inspired goodies including a zombie one :)

Its a really cute bag, very well made and I recommend them if you want something cupcake that's a little different!

So many cupcakes...so little time

I've not been online much in the last week but I HAVE eaten a lot of cupcakes and shopped a lot for items with cupcakes on so will be updating my blog over the next couple of days! One thing I've not bought but would do if I'd given birth (eugh the horror!) would be one of these gorgeous Yummy Mummy bags from Pink Lining! They're utterly adorable and cupcake cute!

Sorry the pics so small but if you click the link above you can zoom in and see it in all its glory on the Pink Lining website! Check out their little "home sweet home" cupcake logo!!
