Boots Mini Club #elephantspicnic Event

amomentwithfranca · 9 April 2017 · 23 Comments

I was invited to a Boots Mini Club event to see their latest clothes collection. I have not bought clothes from them before so I was very intrigued to see the new range. The event was held in Central London so although it is normally a quick journey for me it took place the day after the recent attack in Westminster so I was a little bit nervous travelling. Despite what happened we shouldn’t let them think they can win by stopping us from continuing our normal lives because, life goes on. So I decided to attend this event regardless.

I arrived without any problem and everything was pretty normal. They had made a great job of transforming the room into an adorable Elephant Picnic. The character of the new collection is a cute elephant, which is why it was an Elephant’s Picnic. There was a cute little soft toy elephant placed everywhere around the room.

The decoration was really cute. Although we were indoors, I really felt like I had been transported to a wonderful picnic! The food they had on display was really nice and they also had some mini clubs cupcakes that were delicious too. I even got to take some home for my girls!

It was great to see all their new clothes. The whole range is super cute. I was very impressed. I was not expecting it. As I said, I have not bought clothes for my girls from Boots before so I didn’t know how good they would be. I normally goto H&M for affordable, cute children’s clothes but after seeing the Boots Mini Club collection I was really surprised by what you can get for the price. Their clothes are really affordable and the designs are really adorable too.

The collection is aimed at children from newborn to 6 years old. They offer a wide range of comfortable, durable and fashionable kids clothing for your little one’s style needs. As I mentioned before their collection is affordable, stylish and high-quality too.

They have a wide selection. You can find ideal gifts for baby showers or new baby gifts. They have cute new-born baby clothes, baby grows, baby girl dresses, baby boy clothes, unisex baby clothes and baby shoes.

They also have great options for both day and night time, including all sleepwear and underwear essentials. It is also perfect for growing boys and girls at playtime. There are adorable party dresses and smart kids’ shirts for any special occasion.

If your little ones are fans of Disney, Peppa Pig, or Thomas and Friends, you can find cute outfits featuring these characters too. I certainly know that Sienna will be excited to get some Peppa Pig branded clothes!

I had a fantastic time at this event. I even got a caricature made with an iPad and it was printed for me right there in front of my eyes! How cool is that? This is really a modern world, LOL!

If you haven’t bought clothes from Boots Mini Club before, I think you should check them out. You will be very surprised like me. Their collection is gorgeous. As I said, I was impressed and now I am converted. It is also very easy to buy their collection online so what are you waiting for, check them out HERE.

On my way back home I decided to sit down in Piccadilly Circus to have a little moment to think about the event and how crazy it was what had happened in London the day before. It’s just a shame that we have to witness these things. I love London. It is the city where I live and where my daughters were born so it has a special part in my heart, so I don’t want anybody to spread fear here. I just hope that these things stop and that love and peace can spread everywhere.

Back at home, I felt much better. I was given a nice goodie bag so I decided to open it and check it out. Wow, it was amazing and it had lots of things in there. I was very excited about it! Thank you, Boots Mini Club for this goodie bag and for inviting me to this event! I loved it! 🙂

What do you think about their latest collection? Have you bought anything from Boots Mini Club before?

*Disclosure: I was invited to this event for the purpose of this post. However, all thoughts and opinions are my own. 

Thanks for stopping by,

Love you all ❤️

    Looks very colourful. I love their mini club range. We don’t buy a lot from it but we always get George’s swimwear from here. I love when they do 3 for £12 on rompers too. Make great affordable gifts.

    That caricature is a great momentum. How cool are those puzzle sandwiches too! Birthday party ideas

    We love the boots mini club range. We’ve had a few items from there which we absolutely loved. The summer range last year was lovely so I’ll definitely be heading back there this year before our holiday #KCACOLS

    Franca this looked like a fab event. I loved Boots clothes fro Olivia when she was younger!

    I loved how you stopped to take a moment in London after what happened, they mustn’t be allowed to win by having people staying away. I love how everyone in London refused to let them stop them getting on with their lives. We visited a few days later and loved how ‘normal’ it all was so soon after what happened. #kcacols

✨ Cat Cafe In London✨.📍Bella and I went t ✨ Cat Cafe In London✨.📍Bella and I went to @javawhiskersuk , a cat cafe located in @westfieldlondon . This was my present for Mother’s Day from her🌸.🌟 Before we went inside, we had to go to a separate room to wash our hands and remove our shoes..🐾 They have 2 different rooms: the Cat Lounge and the Kitten Lounge and you can choose to stay from 55 mins to 1hr 55 mins. The prices vary depending on the room you choose and the length of time..🍰 When we stepped inside the room we were greeted by a group of gorgeous kittens. We ordered (before we went inside the room) a latte and a delicious chocolate muffin with chocolate melted inside that was so good. This was served to us in the room while we were surrounded by these adorable kittens..🐱 We spent 55 mins playing and petting the kittens. They were so cute. We loved interacting with them..🥰 Their cafe is also a foster home for homeless cats so if you are looking to adopt one, this is the place to visit! They have had 230 successful adoptions already! 🙌🏻.🚨 The only downside is that you have to be over 10 years old in order to be allowed inside the rooms 😬.🐈 If you are a cat lover like us, I highly recommend you visit Java Whiskers! It is the perfect place to unwind and relax with these beautiful kittens! 🙌🏻.Have you visited a Cat Cafe before? 🐈‍⬛ .#javawhiskers #catcafe #catcafelondon #londoncafe #westfieldlondon #londondayout #daysout #thingstodoinlondon #newplaces #londonguide #lovecats😻 #catsofinstagram #catloversday #londonthingstodo #whatsonlondon

We spent 55 mins arround gorgeous kittens. I had a great time! I am a cat lover so this was a fab present for me! I will talk more about this experience on another post but if you swipe left you can see a little peak of our time there! 🐈😉.Today, the girls and Nick took me for the actually Mother’s Day celebration 🎉 to @cafejackss in Queen’s Park where we had brunch. It was a yummy treat. Swipe left to check it out! 😋 .After that we went for a walk. There was a small market nearby so it was nice to have a little look around 😍. We then went back home and spent the rest of the day chilling which is something, I’m not going to lie, I love doing! 😉😂.How was your day?#mothersdayuk #mothersdayweekend #mothersday2023 #motherofdaughters #mumoftwo #mumofgirls #mydaughters #lovemydaughters #daughterslove #mummydaughtertime #daughtersarethebest #daughtersrock #spendingtimetogether #happyfamilytime #familytime💕
✨My Girls✨.Due to the strikes we had Sienna ✨My Girls✨.Due to the strikes we had Sienna at home yesterday and today, and Bella only today. I thought it would be very chaotic but despite it always being louder when the girls are at home, especially my youngest one, lol, we did well..Bella did school work at home today and had the afternoon free. Sienna didn’t do school work. We only asked her to carry on doing Spanish and Maths via Duolingo. She also had Spanish lessons this afternoon (every Thursday she has lessons) so both days were manageable thankfully 😍.How was it for you? Did your kids stay at home or did they go to school? .PS: let’s hope things get better for teachers. I fully support the strikes. .#sistertime #sisterlylove #sistersgoals #hermanas #sistersforever #sistersforlife #sisterslove #siblingslove #lovemydaughters #raisingdaughters #mydaughters #londonkids #WembleyPark #wembley #londondesigneroutlet
✨Happy Weekend✨.How is your weekend going so ✨Happy Weekend✨.How is your weekend going so far? I am finally feeling more normal after the massive jetlag I had after my trip to South America. I am not sure why it hit me so much this time but it has taken me about two solid weeks to properly be back to my routine without feeling right. Waking up in the mornings was the worst. It was very hard, especially when I had to be on time for the school run! 😩.Anyway, everything feels better now! 😊.How long does it take you to be back to normal after a jetlag? Do you have any tricks or tips to speed this process? .📸 Selfy taken in Barranco, a lively district in Peru considered to be one of the most romantic and bohemian places to visit and being the home and working place of many Peruvian artists, musicians, designers, photographers among others 😎.#thisisme #selfie #instaselfie #smilemore #brunettehair #greeneyes #over40#over40blogger #overforty #overfortystyle #over40andfabulous #over40mom #outandabout #barrancolima
✨The Costa Verde✨.Lima, the capital of Peru ✨The Costa Verde✨.Lima, the capital of Peru is located on the coast. Walking along the sidewalk of the Malécon in Lima’s picturesque seaside district, Miraflores, you can admire the most beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean. .The “Costa Verde” is a coastal road.

You will see several parks with sculptures of famous artists that make this walk even more unique and enjoyable. Along the route, you can find numerous recreational activities such as surfing and paragliding..If you keep walking you will arrive at “Larcomar” which is a shopping centre and has many restaurants and cafes so you can enjoy a coffee or a meal with the gorgeous ocean view too. .Pictures explained below:1. Start of my walk with the view of the ocean showing one the most gorgeous restaurants in Lima “La Rosa Nautica” where you can walk along the pier and then seat down for a meal with a sea view. Very scenic 😍2. 📸 Greater view of the coast showing the Pacific Ocean3. 🎥 Parque Chino (Chinese Park)4. 📸 Parque El Libro (The Book Park) showing a colorful sculpture, “Silencio” created by Peruvian artist José Tola.5. 📸 Parque del Amor (Love Park) showing its larger-than-life sculpture of two lovers in a deep embrace called “The Kiss”.

✨Peruvian Suspiro Limeño✨."Suspiro Limeño" ✨Peruvian Suspiro Limeño✨."Suspiro Limeño" is one of my favourite Peruvian desserts. When I was In Peru, I of course, made sure to have it not only once but several times 😉.This dessert is made of manjar blanco (milk, sugar, almond flour, egg yolks, vanilla) and meringue (egg whites, port, cinnamon) 😘.The history behind this dessert starts with Amparo Ayarza who was the creator. Her husband, José Gálvez Barrenechea was a poet and was the one who gave it its name. The poet called it "Suspiro de Limeña", which means, 'Sigh of a Lima lady', because it is soft and sweet like the sigh of a woman. Love this 🥰.Have you ever tried "Suspiro Limeño"? Or have you heard of it before? Would you try it? .📸 Picture taken @panchitasazoncriolla in Lima that has one of the best versions of this dessert 🙌🏻.#suspirolimeño #peruviandessert #meringue #merengue #desserttime #dessertlover #dessertpic #dessertgram #peruvianfood #cocinaperuana #gastronomiaperuana #perufood #peruviancousine #whatisfordessert #dessertsofinstagram
