Affiliate and Commissionable Links
We may use and work with selective affiliate programs and links in our blog posts, which means we may earn a commission if you make a purchase via the affiliated link. Unless we have expressly specified that you get a discount if you buy through the affiliated link, the price you pay will be the same whether you use the affiliate link or go directly to the vendor’s website using a non-affiliated link. Don’t worry we only use Affiliates that we believe in, and we only recommend products that we have bought from, know about and/or have used before.
Affiliates we work with currently include RewardStyle, Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, VigLink, FlexOffers, Awin & Rakuten. Please note this list is just an example and not exhaustive and can change at any time without being updated here specifically.
RewardStyle – We are a member of the RewardStyle affiliate program, which means that if you make a purchase from a link that is associated with our RewardStyle account, we may make a commission from that purchase. This in no way affects you or the services we provide, we just use the program to share our favourite products with you.
Amazon – We are a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk Amazon Influencers and affiliates.
VigLink, FlexOffers, Share a Sale, Skim Links, Awin, Rakuten & others – we use these affiliate programs to provide you with certain links to products we love and use and that we think you will love as well. We may earn a little from them if you click on one of the qualifying links. As stated above you do not suffer in any way from clicking on these links, and we only link items that we have either purchased or have found a similar item to show you what you can buy instead where the actual product is unavailable.
