Gifts & Gift Ideas
Traditional and vintage style gifts are still very popular. Looking for something that your Grandmother will appreciate? Want some flowers for your Mum’s birthday or a special box of chocolates for your Aunty. And it’s not just all for the ladies, we even have old-fashioned sweets, hampers and ye olde wooden games for dads, grandads and uncles. Sometimes the oldies are the best and nothing else will do.

And so on with the task of finding the perfect present for Mother’s Day. I have just spotted this decorative but useful water pitcher which is known as a Gluggle Jug and I think it’s so brilliant I wish I was a mum so I could buy it for myself!
Not only does it look gorgeous, but it can be used as a water jug, a vase, utensil holder and more. The list is only limited by your imagination!
It costs a bargain £24.99 and you can get it delivered right to the door in time for Mothering Sunday.

Did you know that this week is Chocolate Week? It runs from 13th to 19th October 2008. Now what better excuse is there to get you eating those delectable truffles, ganaches and choccie bars.
So I thought it was worth doing another hunt for some yummy chocolate gifts just in case you are buying presents for family and friends this week.

Sandedge are offering a truly unique gardening prize in our latest competition. Bringing wheelbarrows well and truly into the 21st century, this marvellous invention is a folding wheelbarrow.
Not only does it fold up flat so it can be stored in even the smallest gardens, but it can also come with this unique carrot design unlike the boring green metal wheelbarrows of yesteryear.

My latest find is another great gift idea for those gentlemen who love a traditional tipple of the golden nectar. A fabulous traditional bottle of whisky transformed into a bespoke gift idea for your dad on Father’s Day.

Over the next few months I have a lot of birthdays, weddings and of course Father’s Day to celebrate. After looking for gifts that are a little bit special I have come across the Engraved Gift Ideas shop.
They have plenty of ideas for presents on offer, all made of silver and all can be engraved with your very own special message to commemorate whatever occasion you are celebrating.

I received my Hotel Chocolat Easter brochure last week which had me drooling from page one. The chocolates look so delicious, I just had to recommend one of their scrummy Easter eggs as a gift.

I know it seems bizarre to be writing about a tool shop on a gift ideas website, but honestly, this is the place to buy presents for dads. My dad is always doing DIY (and he is very good at it too – luckily!) so he always need some new tools or other.
Tool and DIY sites are great for buying birthday presents for dads, husbands and all DIY enthusiasts. Don’t forget Father’s Day in June as well!

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.

Warning: Mother’s Day is very early this year so don’t get caught out.
Yes, on the 2nd March, we all celebrate the very special ladies in our lives, our Mums. I have written about the GiftAPlant shop before, but they have the perfect Mother’s Day gift.
This unique plant is actually called Azalea Mothers Day.

Gifts to Drink has been around since 2000, and after being the first online shop to offer ’gifts to drink’, it is still going strong and they offer great gift sets and hampers to buy for all those special occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, Valentine’s day and wedding days.

Some may claim that Valentine’s Day is becoming ever more commercial. Personally, I think it is nice to have one day in a year where people are reminded to celebrate the loved one in their life. Otherwise we could start taking each other for granted.
Come Valentine’s Day there are plenty of great offers and discount voucher codes that could save you money. The Beauty Room has a fabulous selection of body treats and bathtime goodies for the ultimate in pampering and indulgence.
All orders over £50 get free delivery which is always a bonus.
