The Personalised Drinks Company

There is a real boom in personalised gifts at the minute. I think they are a brill idea and aside from making a gift with your own fair hands – it shows you have gone to some lengths to find a gift that is a little bit different, but that reflects them completely.

I bought my own mum this Name A Rose gift set for her birthday last year and realised what a fabulous gift idea it was for Mother’s Day and too.

Rather than get a bunch of flowers that’ll last a few days, get her a rose that’ll last forever!

£10.99 at SandEdge

I have been pointed to a fantastic little site called SandEdge.com run by a couple based in Suffolk.

I particularly love these Limited Edition Valentine Chalkboards in the shape of a heart. This Valentine’s don’t say it with flowers, say it with your heart!

Chococo

I know chocolate sounds like such a predictable gift to give someone on St Valentine’s Day, but really, you haven’t tried chocolate until you’ve tried Chococo chocolate.  It really is delicious, handmade with real dorset cream, fairtrade sourced cocoa beans and no preservatives.

So freshly made with real ingredients that they have a 2 week ’eat by’ date on them. Not that there will be any left after 2 weeks!

Aaahhh, isn’t he cute! This little cuddly bear is only 30cm’s high (that’s 12”), but he can do so much. I know, you’re wondering just how much a stuffed teddy can do aren’t you?

Well this one can talk for a start – an unusual and unique gift idea for a Valentine’s Day gift.

Roses By Design

Fresh from the TV studios of ’This Morning’, comes a website destined to be very popular coming up to Valentine’s Day. If you are stuck for gift ideas for Valentine’s Day, this site may just be the inspiration you need.

The premise is simple. Send any message to anyone by having it written on rose petals. For a gift that’s just that little bit different.

£12.45 at The Poetry Studio

After raving about My Silver Balloon Volume 1, I have since discovered that the 2nd edition is now available. This personalised CD has a new collection of 8 happy childrens songs to keep the little monsters dancing and singing to their hearts content.

£12.45 at The Poetry Studio

With my little nephews 1st birthday approaching, I have found him a perfect little present that is guaranteed to provide him with hours of entertainment (although I am sure it’s bound to drive mum and dad potty after the 30th play!)

The Silver Balloon CD is a personalised album filled with lovely songs written especially for children and designed to be fun and educational. The best thing about them is that they have over two thousand pre-recorded names so the songs can include the name of my nephew.

Gift A Plant
