  • wrecked

    it was a good price and so handy for my children and i guess that is why they fought over it and broke it so i suggest getting it for over 4 year olds now. Also the material covering the ear pads came off quickly

    i had actually checked it out when we first bought it and it sounded fine and was doing a good enough job for the kids

    if it had lasted a bit longer it would have been so handy and i would have given it more stars

  • Miss two loves her head phones

    Our miss two loves her head phones and so do we .. She listens to her reading books on our iPads. Also to her music on her media player and to get head phones that look cute on a two year old that’s into iPads media players etc is not easy… Miss two loves pink. .. Not into Barbie yet but pink is her colour loves anything and everythink pink.. We did not know about the barbie head phones until reading it in reviews and I went straight over the next day to dick smiths at Bankstown and brought them.. I was surprise as did see for25 dollars we brought ours for twenty .. But I,m very happy and so is Kiera… She brings over her head phones and media player . We set her up on the lounge and or she has her media player in her pocket and dancers around with head phones on… I just don,t feel the need to listen to wiggles all day every day…

  • Very girly!

    My daughter actually received these for her birthday last month. She uses an iPad a lot, to practise reading and writing, to review her social stories, and of course to watch tv and play games when we’re not watching her closely! The headphones are good fit, though look extremely large on her. My only concern is that when she has them on, we can’t monitor what she is doing on the iPad.
    Also, according to the website, these are only $5 now – a real bargain!

  • Barbie girl jump for joy

    We recieved the headphones on saturday morning and my two girls (6 and 4) have fought over them since .They literally jumped up and down screaming in excitement when they saw them, :) even though they didnt know what they did to start with. They love that they are Barbie. They are real
    y sturdy, and strong. Fits well on their heads, and doesnt fall off when they dance around to music. I found it was really great to use with the ipod for both songs as well as the apps and games- gives me some peace in the car whilest driving!. So far these are a definate 5 star in my house, and I think i will actually get another pair for christmas so they have one each.

  • Perfect gift for girls this christmas!

    The Barbie My Fab Headphones are not only cute, but great quality and amazingly affordable. My daughter recently got an MP3 player with earbud headphones but disliked how they felt so has been driving us crazy playing her music through the speakers. Finally we have peace and quiet again now that she has the Barbie My fab Headphones. She says they are super comfy and as a crazy barbie fan loves the pink bling look of them. I was pleased at how affordable they are! such a great gift idea this Christmas!

  • Fabulous, adjustable, comfy headphones

    As soon as my 6 year old daughter arrived home from school to test the Barbie headphones, they have been inseparable! She loves the fact that she can plug them into our Ipad2/3 and play her games in peace and quiet. She has watched some YouTube Barbie clips as well as interactive listening games. I would note when the headphones are on she is oblivious to any one around her! The only improvement would be if these headphones had a volume control as my daughter has the tendency to have everything too loud. The good points extra long cord, comfy headband, fully adjustable as your child grows are all big positives.

  • A winner for the girls!

    My 4 yo just loves these, the colour and design are a winner. She can put them on and off by herself. The earpieces are padded and soft, so no marks left around her ears and they are fully adjustable. Price I think is spot on and would be a great gift for any barbie fan.

  • These not only look FAB, the price and quality are FAB too!

    My 5 y/o loves these headphones. She loves anything Barbie, so these were an instant hit. They are an incredibly comfortable fit, as she listens to her favourite tunes or watches a movie for extended periods of time. The price is just right, especially for children who seem to go through fads and may not be sooo into Barbie next year.

I fondly remember slow, summer afternoons with family and friends gathered around a table of delicious finger-food during my childhood – the adults chatting and laughing, the kids pretending they understood the jokes. My parents had continued their Mediterranean traditions long after settling in Australia – and the simple joy of an effortlessly elegant gathering was one of my favourites.

What I don’t remember is my parents ever being stressed about the gatherings. It all just seemed to ‘come together’. Ah, how times have changed!

There’s something about the Italian style of entertaining that’s still so alluring in our fast-paced family lives. The idea of La Dolce Vita: a sweet life surrounded by family, friends, food and minimal fuss. Which is why we’ve enlisted the help of the entertaining experts at Sandhurst to share easy tips for elegant, memorable summer get-togethers.

We also asked our community of mums to share their tried and true, easy summer entertaining ideas, and we can’t wait to share them with you!

Euro-Inspired Entertaining

Sandhurst

Before we dive into the delicious world of sumptuous, simple summer entertaining, it helps to know a little about the inspiration behind our guide. And that’s the concept of Italian entertaining – where time is taken to lovingly grow ingredients, before enjoying them with those you love.

Established in 1988, Sandhurst was born from the time-honoured traditions of generations of the family behind the brand – a proud Italian Australian family passionate about quality produce sourced from world’s best growers.

At the helm of Sandhurst are brothers Mimmo and Ray Lubrano, who live and breathe the impeccable ingredients that become the centrepiece of so many gatherings in Australian family homes.

“Tradition is what we stand for. We’re custodians of Italian values,” explained Mimmo. “When we go to Italy we see it in our grandparents, our parents came from Italy in the 50s. The tradition is a set of values: honesty, teamwork, participation, family – all the things you would associate with Italian family are the values.”

And it’s these beautiful values that make summer gatherings in Australia an extension of the European table.

Easy Summer Entertaining Starts With … Time Saving Secrets!

Sandhurst

A sweet summer of entertaining doesn’t need to be stressful. In fact, it shouldn’t be. It’s a chance to spend time with loved ones. To press pause on life and make memories. And it can be simple! So here are some really easy tips for making your home the place where everyone wants to gather this summer.

Create An Entertaining Kit

Whether it’s pre-planned or you’ve had friends or family drop-in, having a few things ready to go immediately melts away any stress. Here are some things to include in a summer entertaining kit:

  • A red table cloth: It instantly says festive!
  • Some platters and serving dishes
  • Candles
  • Some quality antipasto ingredients that simply need to be decanted and enjoyed!

Many Hands Make Light Work

As mums, we tend to be our own worst enemy when it comes to delegating tasks. But remember, a summer of entertaining is about creating memories – not perfection. So let the kids help, and accept offers from your guests who’d like to bring something along to share.

“It can be overwhelming, so just delegate, and prepare. I do one dish prep per day and pop them in the freezer. Then they just need to be heated up. Let the kids do the decorating for you – plus keeps them busy!” – MoM Member Kirsty

Decorate With Happiness

There’s no need to pull out your finest crystal to pull off an elegant get together. Take a look around your home and garden to see what will bring your table to life. A bowl of lemons is a gorgeous addition, as is a bunch of gum leaves. Keep it simple and understated.

Sandhurst

Finger Food For The Win

Nothing says simple summer elegance more than a charcuterie board (or three!). When my friends and our families get together, it’s our go-to – every family is asked to ‘bring a board’. Some do savoury and some sweet, so we’re covered for a long afternoon of catching up.

“Food wise, I keep it simple by doing cold deli meats, cheeses, fresh fruits and veggies.” – MoM Member

But just because boards are easy to put together, doesn’t mean they can’t ooze elegance. And that comes down to including quality ingredients. Choosing Sandhurst products is the easiest way to guarantee the highest quality ends up on your table. We love the premise behind the brand: from our family to yours – it invokes that nostalgic feeling of shared stories, history, gatherings and family.

How To Put Together A Charcuterie Board 

Sandhurst article image

There are no right or wrong ways to create a charcuterie board, but to ensure a balance of textures and flavours try to include:

La Dolce Vita!

A summer of sophisticated entertaining doesn’t have to be hours and hours of work. We don’t want it to be! By grabbing some beautiful ingredients to fill your pantry next time you’re shopping, you’ll know that at a moment’s notice you’ll have everything you need for a Euro-inspired gathering. No fuss, but plenty of substance and style!

  • I’ve really needed some inspiration this year for Christmas and this is great! I Love a good charcuterie board and I think I may do one this year for the family as well as all the regular Christmas trimmings. I have 6 kids and all the extended family coming to entertain and feed!

  • I’m loving all the ideas here in the comments and pictures above! I love to be able to just look at what others have done and straight up copy it. Takes all the thinking energy out of entertaining!
    Such a good and trusted brand to purchase over the silly season! You know you are faring great quality and value!

  • We often have homemade pizza nights aka fakeaway night! And my pizza is always on a low carb Pizza base with roasted and sundried tomato and capsicum. My fav combo with grilled chicken and a swirl of peri peri mayonnaise! Making our own is always better than takeaway versions and healthier!

  • Looked so good I couldn’t wait – Dove in off the end of my bread baton and swirled around in a couple of cheesy dips only to finish up at the Sandhurst stackers and sun-dried olives, who needs a Holiday when there is one in the kitchen, I can take any day.

  • I have been buying Sandhurst Kalamata Olives, Sandhurst Semi-Dried Tomatoes, Sandhurst Baby Capers, Sandhurst Sicilian Green Olives for years as our kitchen staple adding that extra flavours to our dishes. I buy Sandhurst products for Gift Baskets as presents for family and friends and they love this idea as I add a chopping board and a knife and crackers and cheese for a celebration of flavours.

  • i buy this for family they love the brand and the taste of sandhurst and the different flavors and range to choose from and i find it great value for money, i re-use the jars when im done with for small items in the house.

  • I have been a purchaser of Sandhurst goods ever since they first appeared on supermarket shelves and still buy it to this day. The Sandhurst brand is the best without a doubt. This year I have not been able to find the Sandhurst cheese stuffed baby capsicums anywhere. I have tried to get on the Sandhurst site, but no luck with what they make. Help – these are such a wonderful addition to a salad.

  • I Love a good charcuterie board. I Love all the different options all on the one board. I love to do a chocolate board when we have guests over, it’s a fun way to do dessert after dinner. The kids love seeing everything layed out so they can pick and choose.

    Reply

  • This is great for the grandchildren they love them as they use them as finger food and make up their own meal and use plenty of ingredients including meat and cheese on the dips and crackers. We keep it simple with the Sandhurst’s products as it is a meal in every jar and the kids love them.

  • This looks like the perfect relaxed way to have a picnic! I am loving the idea of this! Just bring along lots of fillings and plenty of cheeses and breads and of course a little alcohol and you’re all set. This sounds like the perfect way to catch up with friends!

  • This is timely and helpful, thanks – I aspire to entertain more and tips to make it less stressful are very welcome.

  • Charcuterie boards are the absolute best! We do these so often in the warmer months because there’s something for the whole family. People pick and choose what they like and there’s no complaints because there’s so many different options to choose from, everyone is happy. It’s such a simple stressful way to make dinner.

  • I absolutely adore finger food and this style of feeding people when we have family and friends at our home; or when we go out for a picnic, bbq or get together. These types of food are so easy to source and to buy and to prepare and to happily eat.


    • Yes I agree, finger foods are easy and yummie ! And you can assemble a healthy enough plate (certainly when you add salads, cheeses, nuts, fruits, boiled eggs, olives and rustic breads) that it can certainly can replace a meal (either lunch or dinner). Everyone happy and no hours of preparation in the kitchen :)



      • Also; the other bonus is less mess to clean up when cutlery is not needed. Finger food is the best for laid back and relaxed get togethers. There is always such a clam and relaxed feel to a finger food meal without the need for any fancy and stuffy table settings.
