<\/figure>\n\n\n\nTurning 17 in a Pandemic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
17 may not seem a big deal to some but I still remember mine and how much of a big deal it really was. It is a hard enough age as it is, suddenly decisions have to be made about being an adult and your whole future (see the A-level dilemma)., without all the problems of the current situation. The 17th<\/sup> birthday always seemed so well mapped out, an easy buy for parents; for us it is the obvious choice because finally they are old enough to gain their driver\u2019s licence. Our boys have even had previous lessons with Young Driver<\/a> to prepare them for just this moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I know our son would no longer want driving lessons because I have talked to him about booking him in for a skiing lesson following his accident<\/a>. He isn\u2019t worried about getting back on the slopes but in the risk of catching covid-19 so does not want to do it – so there\u2019s no way he is going to sit in close proximity to a stranger in a car when he does not have to. Also his passport has run out and as he is unlikely to travel to another country we have not renewed it, this, coupled with the fact he has not been sent a National Insurance card or even letter, means he does not have what he requires to even apply for a provisional driving licence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Did you know that Moonpig do not only sell a huge variety of cards but also have gifts also? They have a variety of novelty gifts, games, chocolates, plants, flowers, drinks, experiences, balloons, candles and toys to choose from! Plus if you download the Moonpig app<\/a> and use code APPFREEWGIFT<\/strong> and it gives you 1 free card when you buy a gift between the July 13th and 17th August 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The range of cards is extensive so luckily you can search by a variety of filters or use your own search term. Plus there\u2019s the option to have it delivered to you with a spare envelope if you want to give it them in person – or obviously have it sent direct. There\u2019s also a range of sizes, which you can play about at the checkout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Our teen is very much into the sugary stuff so we opted for the chocolate and retro sweet hampers, and what boy wouldn\u2019t enjoy a book that contains poo in the title! We also went with a bit of an adult card, to show that we know he\u2019s growing up! Delivery was quick and I was impressed by the quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Moonpig gifted the items in this post, but words and opinions are honest and my own.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"![\"Driving](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/teen-young-driver.jpg?resize=800%2C530\")
