4 Ways to Enjoy the Longer Winter Evenings

You may or may not have realised that this weekend the clocks go back. Yes, just in time for all those Halloween parties! But after the fun is over, this also means dark mornings and long winter evenings lie ahead until March. Yay. But it’s not doom and gloom – in fact, we think you should look on this as an opportunity rather than an obstacle. There are plenty of ways you can make the most of long winter evenings and here are just a few ideas to see you through until the spring…

Bake Up a Storm

This week see’s the last ever final of The Great British Bake Off to feature on the BBC and let’s just say as a nation, we’re not too happy about it. But picking up a spatula yourself and turning on that oven will at least go some of the way to filling the BBC Bake Off hole in your life. We put together a blog post with a number of different baking tips as well as some Ocado voucher codes to help you out with the cost of ingredients, and there’s even tips on where to find the best mug cake recipes because let’s face, baking can be a bit of an effort.

Treat Yourself to Some New Bedding

There’s only one thing better than sleeping under newly-laundered sheets and that’s sleeping under brand new sheets AND a brand new duvet. This is because a cold, dark winter’s evening is the best possible time to curl up under a new duvet with a higher tog count, or perhaps even invest in some eiderdown. Our blog post give you some more reasons as to why we should be looking forward to winter as well as the latest Slumber Slumber discount vouchers to save on that winter bedding.

More Leisure Time

Does anyone actually enjoy leaving the house in the cold weather? If someone calls to cancel plans, can we honestly say we disappointed at the thought of not having to venture outside? Of course not. Because winter leisure time is all about staying indoors and catching up on your favourite books, TV shows, films and music. Which is exactly how it should be.  

Halloween and Bonfire Night

The double whammy of autumnal celebrations doesn’t exactly ease us into winter, but rather give us a slightly scary shove (in the most jovial way possible). Every year Halloween seems to be more and more popular and no doubt in ten years’ time we’ll have caught up with the level of Halloween madness that takes place across the Atlantic. For those of you who fall squarely in the pro-Halloween camp, we put together a post about all the great things to look forward too when Halloween approaches, including some Angels Fancy Dress promo codes to help you perfect that costume.

So even if you plan on not getting out of your bed for the next few months, there’s still plenty to celebrate about the impending winter season. And if you’re still dreading it, well then, just think about Christmas – not long to go now!

Sunglasses Savings Galore

With their prices already very reasonable, this Glasses Shop UK coupon code is an excellent budget option for everyone who wants those stylish frames and eye protection without paying for a designer label in the process.

Experience the great outdoors in many different ways with this week’s voucher codes

What do the latest Marks and Spencer voucher codes, Dogalogue coupon codes and MissPap promo codes have in common? The can all help you put a new spin on outdoor fun in three very different ways, that’s what. The average dinner party-thrower, dog-lover and festival-goer might not seem to be too similar on first glance, but on our blog this week we’ve explored a few different ways in which these online savings can help all of the above experience the great outdoors in many different ways…

Outdoor Dining Marks and Spencer Voucher Codes

Let’s start with the most obvious outdoor option shall we? When we stare out the kitchen window during those winter days, we dream of enjoying a bit of alfresco dining come June, but with only a shabby old patio set available, you might not do it quite as often as you’d like. However, over on our outdoor dining blog post this week, we featured some excellent Marks and Spencer voucher codes that save you 20% on selected stylish outdoor dining items, but that’s not all. We also appreciate that not everyone is about the posh decking and outdoor buffet, so we’ve also sourced savings from Joules for classy picnicware and The White Company for some atmospheric outdoor lighting. So take advantage of these Marks and Spencer voucher codes and other savings before the dark evenings start to draw in again.

Fantastic Festival Fashion

If you’ve been enjoying the Glastonbury coverage from the comfort of your own home over the weekend, it’s not too late to book yourself a real life festival experience later on in the summer. But as well as wellies and a waterproof tent, you also require some suitable festival fashion, and these days online savings such as the latest MissPap coupon codes cater very well for this specific requirement. Not only do they have a dedicated festival fashion page, but you can also use these MissPap discount codes (as featured in our festival fashion blog post) to get 10% off your order. And in the aforementioned blog post, we’ve also sourced festival deals from Rock My Vintage and Motel rocks to cover a wide variety of different fashion tastes.

Everyone’s Favourite Furry Friend

This week saw the UK’s National Bring Your Dog to Work Day, but don’t worry if you missed out because as all good dog-owners know, there’s really no need for a special day to treat your pooch. To celebrate this annual occasion, we put together a selection of online doggy savings in our National Bring Your Dog to Work Day blog post covering top quality food, toys and treats for both owner and pet with the latest Dogalogue promomtional codes. And did you know that using Dogalogue discount vouchers means your money goes towards The Guide Dogs for the Blond Association? Well, now you do, and that’s even more of an incentive to use them!

The outdoors isn’t for everyone, but with these Marks and Spencer voucher codes, MissPap discount vouchers and Dogalogue promo codes, we can certainly cater for a large section of the outdoor-loving population. Come back next week for even more summer-themed saving and ideas that could help you appreciate the great outdoors even more…
