Hiya!

I’m Chelsie.

I go to The Polesworth School and I am in year 10. For the past two weeks I have been doing my mandatory work experience and for my second week, I chose to come to PB HQ.

Today is my last day, so I decided to write a blog post telling everyone about how great my time here has been! I love it here. They’ve been getting me to do all sorts, such as writing press releases, editing bits ‘n’ bobs of their microsites, writing news articles and reviewing some of their brilliant products. I only had to make one cup of tea for Zak, the bossman. 

My favourite product that I have seen on their website has to be the Sneakskin trainer customisation art pack. It comes in all sorts of funky designs. They gave me a sample of this to review, you should check it out! Just click here.

I would highly recommend www.prezzybox.com HQ as a work experience placement because the team are a lovely bunch and have made me feel really welcome. I feel like I have been useful here too rather than just getting in the way like at some other placements.

Hello everyone,

We hope you are well and have been enjoying the sunshine! Here at Prezzybox we have a very exciting competition for you. How do you fancy winning a holiday to the USA for two lucky people?

Happy Friday everyone!

I hope you are all excited for the weekend. Lets hope we get some nice weather.

Nikki in PR is moving house in a couple of weeks so we have put our thinking caps on for some lovely housewarming gifts to make her new house a home.

We think these will be fab!

TeaCupCakes make a perfect gift especially for when visitors come to call.

The Index Chopping Board and Tom, Dick and Harry Storage Jars are sure to brighten up any kitchen!

Of course, a new house needs a housewarming party and what better way to get the party started than some drinks from the Retro Slush Maker.

We have been practicing making the Giant Cupcake. Maybe we will even bake Nikki one to celebrate!

Have a great weekend!

Becky

Good afternoon, Prezzybox Army!

It’s been an exciting day here at Prezzybox HQ, we’ve held our first ever ‘Prezzybox Masterchef’ Everyone at the mighty box has been cooking, baking and steaming like mad to create their special signature dishes for everyone to taste.

We had veggie-meatball curry with onion bhajees, Ham baked in coke, gucamole, chilli and salmon mousse followed by 2 styles of cupcake, fairy cakes, seriously indulgent chocolate cake, raspberry & white choc cheesecake, oreo cookie cheesecake, crumble and impossible pie

It really was a feast!

Polly watched on in the hopes of food scraps

But in the end, there had to be a winner. We all voted, and the scores were….

In joint 3rd place:

Deena with her Fantastic Curry

Julianne with her Amazingly Naughty Chocolate Cake

Amanda with her Delicious Crumble

In joint 2nd place:

Sharon’s Hot Chilli

Kat’s awesome White Chocolate & Raspberry Cheesecake

Sharon’s Guacamole

But there was a little bit of drama today, as the fabled first place was a draw between Debby’s Salmon Mousse and Zak’s Ham baked in Cola.

In stepped Craig to the rescue and to provide the casting vote.

And the winner is…

That’s right, it’s Zak with his ham baked in cola

We’ve still got loads of leftovers, so we’ll be having seconds later today.

Next time, we’ll save you something.

Good afternoon Prezzybox Army!

It’s Tidy Friday in the office today, so while everyone’s doing a bit of spring cleaning, I thought I’d come and tell you about our very exciting new products available at Prezzybox now!

Firstly, We’ve got the coolest cake moulds since the Giant Cupcake Tin!

The Teacupcakes are silicone cupcake moulds shaped like teacups! They’re so adorable, I just know you’re going to love them. Check them out here.

The Cakewich is a fantastic idea. An extra deep mould shaped like a big hunk of bread! Bake your cake, slice it in the middle and you’ve got a cake that looks like a sandwich! Awesome! Check that one out here.

We’ve also got some brand new balloons on the site! You can see all of them as well as the new cake moulds and all our other brand new goodies here

As it’s Friday, I’ve got a video for you. This week it’s the power of the iPod and iPhone coming together to create a lady gaga song, it’s pretty fantastic!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Prezzybox HQ looks a bit strange today.

It’s a bit like a balloon bomb has gone off and the office has filled with shiny, colourful balloons!

The balloons are actually being photographed for the site, you’ll be able to buy these very soon in the Birthday category.

Something tells me Jean’s going to have a but of a surprise when she celebrates her birthday with us on Monday!

Hey there,

It’s Friday again, and we love Fridays here at Prezzybox HQ.

We’ve got a great competition for you guys today, In association with the new film – ‘I Love You Philip Morris’ We’re giving you the chance to win an Acer laptop!

If you haven’t heard about ‘I Love Philip Morris’ yet, where have you been?! It’s about a guy called Steven Russell (Jim Carrey) who leads a seemingly average life – a happily married man and a member of the local police force. That is until he has a severe car accident that leads him to the ultimate epiphany: he’s going to live life to the fullest – even if he has to break the law to do it. Taking on an extravagant lifestyle, Steven turns to cons and fraud to make ends meet and is eventually sent to the State Penitentiary where he meets the love of his life, a sensitive, soft-spoken man named Phillip Morris (Ewan McGregor). His devotion to freeing Phillip from jail and building the perfect life together prompts him to attempt (and often succeed at) one impossible con after another. This is the unbelievable true story of what can happen when the legal system, a daredevil spirit and undying love collide.

It’s in your local cinema now so go see it!

And if you want to be in with a chance of winning the  so-chic-it’s-painful Karim Rashid Seashell Eee PC, simplyclick on the competition banner above and answer  the question.

Good Luck!

In other news, we’ve had a visit from TV royalty this week

It’s Jedward! Or as they’re more commonly known, Nikki and Zak messing about with Personalised Masks. The personalised masks are all kinds of awesome and available now!

Now, as you know, it’s Friday so it’s time for our Friday Video. It was St Paddy’s Day earlier this week, so I thought I’d show you Failblog’s st paddy’s day roundup. I hope your St Paddy’s Day didn’t end up like this!
