The funkiest birdhouse ever has been created and is available now for you to buy. A fab pressie for all dads who love caravanning, bird watchers, in fact anyone with a garden!

I don’t know who comes up with these ideas but keep them coming. This brilliantly camp wooden caravan doubles up as wee little birdy house.

This is the ultimate gadget for any couch potato – who wants to slouch in style. It may look like a slouching chair for blokes but it also comes in a barbie pink colour for the girlies too.

Described as an ’interactive gaming chair’ it sounds like a dream come true!

I just love buying little knick knacks for people. Something cute, something kitsch, unusual, unique or just plain strange. So christmas is the perfect time for me as I get to buy lots of little pressies for people.

I personally find quantity rather than quality is best, especially around the xmas season, the more presents to unwrap the better, so to save me going bust I always chose things under a tenner.

I read about this brilliant cookbook for dogs in a magazine at the weekend and I just had to find out what it was all about.

Pupcakes is one of those original books that just makes you smile when you open it up. A great present idea for any dog lovers you know.

A few days ago I was raving about the brilliant Bar Butler, a 4 litre bottle holder to create the perfect cocktail and pour the perfect shot. Well now I have found it’s ideal companion.
