Personalised Gifts for the Kitchen
Posted in Gift Ideas, Gifts for the Home & Gifts for the KitchenJun 06 2017
Did you know the kitchen is thought of as the heart of the home? It is certainly a room that is used by everyone in the family, often as a place to come together to cook at the end of the day. Even the busiest household will often congregate in the kitchen to catch up on news, grab some toast and coffee, and enjoy each other’s company. It is also a room that looks great with some personalised items to let the heart and soul of the family shine through. These items can be practical, quirky, or even a mix of the two – it depends how you approach it. We’ve put together a few great items that would perk up any kitchen. Not only are these ideal if you’re searching for that special gift for someone (or for a family gift, perhaps), they are also perfect if you are […]

Would you agree a property doesn’t feel like home unless there are pets present? From one little dog or cat to a menagerie of animals, we do love our pets.

Kilner jars are one of the most practical and appealing items you could buy. Cooks see them as the ideal place to store flour, sugar, and other essential kitchen ingredients. Gift-givers use them to layer various ingredients together to present to someone with a recipe for using the contents. They’re ideal for storing buttons, coins, and numerous other small odds and ends that would otherwise be lost. In short, if you haven’t yet been introduced to the versatility and appeal of Kilner jars, let’s change all that now. Whatever interests and hobbies you have – or anyone else you might be looking for a gift for – a Kilner jar could be just the thing you (or they) have been missing. The advantages of using Kilner jars If you’ve ever picked up a Kilner jar before, you’ll know the quality is very good indeed. They are built to last and […]

Personalised Anniversary Gifts for Her
Posted in Anniversary Gifts, Gift Ideas & Gifts for HerMay 10 2017
A wedding anniversary is a big event, and yet it is a very personal one to the couple, too. Choosing a gift for your wife can be a challenge, particularly since you must think of something new to give each year. Many people gain inspiration from the item that represents that many years of marriage. For example, the first year is paper. Two years of marriage are represented by cotton, and three equates to leather. The fifth year is wood, and the 10th is tin (or aluminium, if you prefer). And we all know the silver wedding anniversary is marked at 25 years of marriage, with other valuable items marking other years. But supposing you aren’t inspired by the item representing your year this year? Perhaps you want to buy something more unusual, or simply something that will be treasured both now and for many years to come. If you […]

There is a good assortment of gifts here for women of all ages, with all kinds of interests, and for every budget. Could one (or more) of these solve your gift-buying challenges?

Personalised Wedding Presents: What to Buy the Happy Couple
Posted in Gift Ideas, Wedding Present & WeddingsMar 21 2017
Weddings are wonderful occasions, but they also come with their own fair share of stresses.
