Review of OddBalls
Birthday Boxers
Bought some boxers for my husband's birthday - two Mr Men pairs and a plain navy one for the rare occasions he might need to feel 'sensible'.
He was familiar with Oddballs already so was delighted to receive them - they're a great fit, comfortable (so I'm told), wash and wear well.
Delivery was speedy and communication was great. All this from a brand that doesn't take itself too seriously but understands great customer service!

Review of Spiffy - The Happiness Shop
A valuable slice of happiness!
I’ve been aware of Spiffy since they had their shop in Camarthen and have ordered from them before, so sensing my daughter is a little bit anxious about her imminent start at uni, I thought it would be a good place to look for a few cheerful creature comforts for her uni bedroom.
I wasn’t disappointed - a few humorous coasters, postcards and notebook later and job done - all dispatched really quickly and wrapped beautifully - and it brought an instant smile to her face when she received it.
Thanks guys - would recommend you over and over again!!
Review of Bedtime Comforts Ltd
The place to go for non-standard sheets and bedding…
I was delighted to discover Bedtime Comforts existed as the bed in my daughter’s upcoming uni residence couldn’t be much less standard size!
The order was easy to place online, I was kept informed throughout the manufacturing process and it was delivered speedily and securely.
Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend!!

Review of Perfect Pet
A pet insurer that understands owners
All my interactions with Polly at a Perfect Pet have been great! She is incredibly helpful and very warm and friendly - you get the impression that she is genuinely interested in you and your pet - you’re not just another customer number.
In a world gradually being taken over by chat bots and AI, it’s refreshing to have a conversation with an actual human who understands your problem and can resolve it quickly. Other financial institutions could and should take a leaf out their book!

Review of Specsavers
Quick and Easy!
I needed some new glasses for ‘by the bed’ reading, looking at my phone etc - I tend to have different pairs of glasses strategically placed around the house so I don’t lose them.
As I had an up to date prescription ordering on the website was straightforward and easy. I simply selected the frames I wanted, entered my prescription and checked out. The site walked you through the process step-by-step. Delivery was fast and tracked - definitely recommend!

Review of Sunglass Fix
A great service and product!
A great service and much speedier than it says on their website (they’re obviously managing expectations)!
The replacement lenses fit perfectly at half the cost of branded ones - why pay more?
Would definitely recommmend!

Review of Octopus Energy
Octopus Energy - one of the good guys!
Just switched to a fixed tariff on the Octopus app. The process was quick, painless and easy and it was clearly explained what was changing and how with.
The app is really clear to use and communication generally from Octopus is fantastic!
Whilst they’re not yet the top player in sustainable energy, they are trying very hard and that’s important to me so I’m happy to stick with them for now! 🐙

An easy way to collect parcels!
Review of Spoke and Solace
One of the best small brands around!
I’ve bought several items for my husband from Spoke and Solace now, and as he seems to wear them on rotation, I can only assume that he likes them - I certainly do!
Great quality clothing with great (and humorous) designs, plus impeccable customer service makes this one of the best small brands around, whether you’re a cycling enthusiast or not!
Review of Lands' End Europe ltd
Great quality basics in an array of colours
Great communication - I know the status of my package. Customer service is brilliant, returns are easy and the quality of the clothes is fantastic.

Review of Hobbycraft
Never fails to delight!
I went into my local store to exchange some wool but whilst in there I couldn’t help noticing some gold glittery wool, and a different sized pair of knitting needles, circular needles and some beautiful ribbon at £1 a roll that would look just perfect on my Christmas presents!
Even if you don’t mean to buy a lot, the plethora of lovely things that are displayed beautifully and craftily (see what I did there?) according to interest means it’s very difficult to pop in and pop out of a Hobbycraft store. This is topped off by warm and friendly customer service (the associate at the till was happy to try the plethora of different names, email and home addresses I’d had since registering my loyalty card) which means you always leave the store with a spring in your step, a smile on your face and a bag of delightful goodies! You have been warned…😄
Review of ROCK Insurance Group
Great peace of mind
Fortunately we had no need to use our travel insurance but the online process was easy to complete and offered a good range of cover for a 1-week holiday in the Canary Islands.

Review of Holiday Autos
Holidays should mean less hassle - this is the way to do it!
A great way to find and book a rental car prior to going away so that you can arrive at your destination airport and have the car ready to go!
Review of Shawbrook
Easy and straightforward to apply
Very easy to apply for a loan (I did it on my phone whilst travelling as a passenger up the M23!)
The proper secure checks were in place and it’s reassuring to have both a call centre and an online account where you can manage your loan. The money came through promptly too - would recommend this company.
Review of Spoke and Solace
Back for more!
This is the second time I’ve purchased something from this brand because I love supporting small businesses but also because the product quality and customer service is so good. I gave my husband the Rest Day hoodie for his birthday and he wears it constantly, so I thought I’d add the new Rest Day t-shirt to his collection as well - he wore it immediately!
I love the range of designs and colours - this is definitely a ‘go to’ brand for cycling enthusiasts! 😊
Review of Stripe & Stare
Worth every penny!
A great small business with gorgeous products that are innovative and stylish and most importantly, environmentally friendly. Ordered some shortie pyjamas for my daughter’s birthday present - the initial price seemed high but in receiving them they are beautifully soft and silky feeling and she loves them!! Well worth every penny!

Review of TrueSapien®️
Great quality, excellent products and outstanding customer service!
Ordered a neon running t-shirt for my husband’s birthday - True Sapiens caught my eye for its blend of quality at the right price. Unfortunately delivery was delayed due to the postal strikes, but on contacting them, I got a personal reply from Stephen who stayed in touch until he’d tracked the parcel and offered me a discount on my next purchase due to the hassle caused!
The top has arrived and my husband loves it! It’s great for running as the evenings get darker, a good fit and washes and wears well. Highly recommend - this won’t be our last order!
