With two of the home nations in the same group, choosing the England Vs Wales fixture would be a great shout for a World Cup Party.
So get your 'The Three Lions' bar ready for Tues, 29 Nov.
With so many mid-week evening games and dark nights we think it might be the year we see more people enjoying the World Cup at home than ever before.
We also think a great shout for a World Cup party during the group stages would be England Vs USA on Friday 25 Nov or Spain Vs Germany on Sunday 27 Nov before we get knee deep into Xmas parties!
Being at work when the matches are on sucks and especially if you're WFH on your own!

The World Cup is a great way to get them to learn about the world beyond their country! And with countries from every corner of the world competing it's a great opportunity for them to investigate the differences around the world.
... Set them an iPad investigation task about one of the countries they haven't heard of to come up with fascinating facts.
... Use our sweepstake tool to get them to investigate a different country at a time - a bot like an advent calendar
... Get them to fill in a knock out chart as the games go on and understand how the tournament works

Well for some football is football is football but for others there needs to be something a bit more to it!
Thats why we created our 'World Cup Buzz Word Bingo' game which you can play along in any games listening out for the most cliched sayings from commentators you'll likely hear this World Cup!
If we don't hear 'It's Coming Home' before the tournament is over we may well have to have a huge give-away .....
]]>We've already had one blood bath this morning when the eldest chucked himself over the handle-bars of his scooter en route to school today - but enough about spectacular parenting skills ... on to becoming a 'Spooctacular' parent!
Here's 10 things to do with the kiddos that won't break the bank but will keep them mildy entertained ...
Do your kids have their own snack drawer or sweetie stash? Then get them tidying it, chucking all the open packets and jellies gone hard and binning all the tinfoil clutter to make room for the in-coming Halloween treats.
Not into snacks? Why not make a start on their toys instead for when the big guy delivers cos you know as soon as Halloween ends we’ll be talking the ‘C-Word’ ... hey they might even find some smaller toys they could give away as 'treats' (let's not be giving away broken stuff as 'tricks' though!).
Hit the woods – it’s beautiful out there in Autumn so soak it all in and if it’s a bit chilly why not warm up with a Halloween Hot Chocolate when you get back.
Our Halloween Pumpkin Mugs are a perfect treat at the end of a chilly day
If you’re crafty you could always gather some leaves for a later activity but DEFINITELY pick up some sticks – we’ve got a great ideas for them later ….
They're truly horrible but also brilliant at the same time - grab yourself some hotdogs and buns and make a gory witches fingers snack ... who can make the most real looking finger?! And let's be honest you can hardly get a cheaper lunch!
These ideas from Ye Olde Oak are the best witches fingers we've seen
Truly awful - your kids will love them!
Why not set your kids some Halloween lego challenges ... sift out all the orange, green, purple and black first and see what spooky ideas they can come up with ... (then while they're on quietly with that you could always hide some of those tiny bits in their bedroom floor carper as a trick! Ssssshhhh!!! we won't tell) .
Best Jack-O-Lantern idea wins ... something!
Find that orange lego and get going!
We love halloween movies at Not Just a Print - the original Hocus Pocus is by far our favourite in the studio
We are obsessed with this Hocus Pocus quote mug!
If your kids are a bit young for that why not try some of these instead:
Or go for a classic ...
We've started you off with a freebie! Download our 'pin the tail on the cat', free Halloween game, print it out and off you go ...
We love this idea of halloween bunting - so simple even the kids can do it!
Get the paints out and let yourself go ... the options really are endless - there's some great ideas to get started from Artistro here.
Rob Biddulph an absolute saviour when it comes to entertaining the kids - why not do a 'Draw with Rob' we love his pumpkin ideas - there's load to choose from too in his newest book - Draw with Rob at Halloween.
Check out Rob's YouTube channel for new ideas to follow along with - why not start with this Halloween Pumpkin design ...
Watch along and Draw a Jack-o-lantern design with Rob
No instructions for this one but we love this really simple idea of making a spiders web out of wool and twigs ... you never know the torture of it all might give you kids a new found respect for the spider family!
After all that grab yourself a Wine, stick some olives in it and call them eyeballs! Mwa-ha-ha-ha-haaaah!
Happy Halloween-Half-Term!

]]>So … yes, we are Not Just a Print and we make personalised gifts – we are indeed a Newcastle gift shop, but without a physical shop!
We know some people like to shop in the PJs making online gift shops their best bet but others like to see and hold something and would prefer something a bit more actual High Street than Not On The High Street and that’s how our ‘North East gifts’ were born.
We made the deep dive onto the High Street of Newcastle and Northumberland.
To do this we had to come up with some gifts which actually weren’t personalised and for a North East gift retailer who’s made over 250,000 personalised gift ideas that’s not been the easiest of moves!
So we started with the simplest of ideas – our home up North and our favourite places in the North East and made a selection of illustrations of places (the Tyne Bridge, the Angel of the North, Grey’s Monument, St. Mary’s Lighthouse) custom mugs, coasters and tea towels with their location in a familiar kind of colour shade thing style.
So they’re personalised to us (we designed them in our own unique style) but they’re not so much about a name or a date – we’d like to think they’re still a personalised Newcastle print in a way however as they do say that the owner is proud of their North East roots.
And because we believe it’s not so grim up North they come in a cracking set of colours but our colourful mugs are no accident either, they’re based on a cake … no honestly they really are!
The first Newcastle gift shop we approached to sell our North East gifts was Vanilla & Dreams, a coffee & gift shop in Newcastle Great Park who is also actually an amazing luxury celebration cake maker. Rebecca was really happy to stock our Newcastle gifts but was also really keen for them to match the interior of her Gosforth coffee shop and so that was the challenge …
We took inspiration from this amazing birthday cake and our soft colours were born – pink, lilac, blue and of course … mint!
It was when Phil from Coffuffle in Corbridge approached us to add some colour into his Northumberland Chocolate Shop that we then took a different look at our mugs. With a prime position on Corbridge High Street he asked if we could make something bold and eye catching which would draw the attention of passers by – not a problem Phil!
He uses deep teal in his store and we felt that needed a good colour contrast – bring on the Yellow and Orange! And of course with Phil being a coffee shop in Corbridge we thought some Northumberland landmarks would make great prints hence the Lindisfarne Castle and Sycamore Gap tree print and coming soon are Alnwick Castle and Bamburgh Castle prints.
So that’s where our local North East gifts came from – buy online or if you happen to be in Gosforth head into Vanilla & Dreams (we highly recommend ANY of Rebecca's cakes) ...
or if you’re out in Northumberland see Phil … his chocolates are to die for!
If you’re interested in becoming a gift stockist (especially of our Bamburgh Castle and Alnwick Castle print versions) or working with us on custom mugs or other customised gifts for your store why not message us at info@notjustaprint.com
Cos they're mint!
