The next date on the calendar to be aware of is April Fool’s Day. Not a common time to send gifts and cards, but none-the-less, there are bound to be a few pranks and practical jokes going about.
It is a common time to read some strange tales in newspapers, or hear bizarre news on the TV or radio.

St Patrick is well known as the Patron Saint of Ireland. Come the 17th of March thousands of people all over the world, whether Irish or not, celebrate St Patrick’s Day in style. Usually with lots of dressing up and plenty of drinking.
However, this year St Patrick’s Day has been moved to the 15th March, to avoid falling on the holy Easter week, with Easter being so incredibly early this year.

Remember the good old days? Of school days and playgrounds, when the 6 weeks holidays would seem to last forever? Well the Hawkin’s Bazaar online shop takes me right back to those days. They have all the little nick-nacks we used to play with, things I thought didn’t exist anymore!
It’s a great site to browse in your lunch hour but beware, you could get lost in the vastness of gift ideas it holds.

These beautiful and unusual sculptures make fantastic presents for all occasions, but this Lovers Knot is particularly appropriate for Valentine’s Day or as a Wedding Gift. Remember there is only 5 days to go until Valentine’s Day.
This Love Knot sculpture features a series of entwining knots - just like the celtic knot - these knots are a symbol of love everlasting. Each piece of soap stone varies in its marbling and colour and with each ornament being hand carved - no machines involved - every creation is unique.
