Buntella from Boomf!*

A couple of years ago I featured Boomf, the coolest marshmallow brand in town. It’s a brand I hold a great deal of affection for so when they got in touch to introduce their latest venture, Buntella I knew I was in for a treat.
Essentially Buntella is customised bunting. Even as someone who never bought in to the bunting fad I was pretty intrigued by this. As with Boomf you can create a product entirely out of your own photos or choose from a set of designs from various artists suitable for any occasion. I opted for images designed by The Corrigan Sisters as I wanted something to brighten up my room, not to say I don’t approve of the own photo approach- I think that would be amazing for a special birthday of wedding celebration!
Each Buntella compromises of nine triangles and come packaged in a neat little box just like Boomf mallows. The quality of the images is fantastic and the fabric has a good weight to it so it hangs beautifully. The bunting comes ready to hang (assuming your cat doesn’t make a beeline for it like Mae did) and is a super quick and easy way to jazz up any living space.

I couldn’t resist these pun-tastic prints especially with the “biscat” design. At £25 I think this makes for a pretty good value way to add something to your home or a special gift. What better way to show a friend how much they mean to you than plastering your mug-shots from nights out and happiest memories on to bunting?

What would you put on your bunting and what do you think of the idea? For me it’s another winner for the brains behind Boomf! Not to un-tangle the feline beast.

Boomf!

Around a year ago now I introduced you lot to Boomf and their awesome idea of making personalised marshmallows. I’m delighted to see the brand go from strength to strength over the last twelve months whilst sticking to their unique selling point, and when they re-contacted me and asked if I’d like to feature another box I had no reservations about saying yes!
Last time I let the folk at Boomf pick the designs, this time I chose myself- and obviously went for a Mae theme.
The Marshmallows are expensive, I’m not gonna lie, at £15.50 for 9 (this includes speedy delivery) they are a luxury gift but in their defence they are something unique, pretty large and very, very tasty and I wouldn’t hesitate in purchasing these as a special gift for someone, nor be upset if someone purchased these as a gift for me! I’d rather get a box of Boomf than a block of posh but stinky cheese…
With Christmas not far away and the hunt for the perfect presents getting up to full speed I think you could do far worse than heading over to Boomf and getting creative…likewise, if you know someone with a special Birthday looming why not purchase a pack, pop some cocktail sticks in the bottom and turn them in to edible cake toppers?
This is one of those ideas that still gets my mind boggling- I want the kind of brain that comes up with such an invention. It’s also one of those ideas that I will forever love and be drawn to…now, who to put on a marshmallow next?

P.S. The only downside to putting your pet on a sugary confection is it makes them almost too cute to eat…almost!

Boomf

I’m a bit of a social media addict- facebook, twitter, pintrest and instagram…you name it and I’m there.
Last week I was contacted about something so crazy awesome that I couldn’t turn down an offer to try it out…you see, Boomf can turn your instagram pictures in to edible, sweet and squashy treats…yep…MARSHMALLOWS!

For purpose of review (and my constant indecision) I let the brains behind Boomf choose which photos to convert. To be fair, it didn’t really matter which images they chose, put anything on a Marshmallow and I’m gonna be happy! As it happens they chose some of my favourite pictures- the ones of Mae and the black and white one of Ben and I! I wouldn’t usually have my selfies printed in edible form, there’s something quite wrong about eating your own face, but then I probably wouldn’t be ordering a photo of myself to eat myself!
With Christmas just around the corner these would make an amazing gift for the sweet toothed social media junkie in your life. Get them printed with pets, special moments or just random pictures and watch the bafflement on the recipients face!
The process of ordering couldn’t be simpler- log in to instagram, choose your nine images and go!
They cost £12 (inc free delivery) for 9 marshmallows- steep for sugar but great for a gift! I seriously love this idea…and I bet a few of you bloggy folk will too! It’s such an off the wall idea I seriously went “whaaaaat?” when the e-mail landed in my inbox, followed swiftly by “AWESOME!”
Thanks for these Boomf, now which to melt in a hot chocolate first?
