A while back I wrote about getting some products from Eden Fantasys for my wife, and promised to review – it’s been a while as life sort of took over from this blog. But I’m back now – and here’s the next of the reviews. I’m afraid to say it’s not a great one. Of the four products we got, this was the one that really ‘let the side down’.
