The Rocky Balboa Bath Robe is a bit of fun. However, from a personal perspective it’s good to finally locate a bath robe that has a decent hood. Is it just me who can’t find a hooded bath robe?

Personally, I think it would make the perfect wedding present! grin

I can honestly say I haven’t found a sock that even comes close to the same quality as my new ‘self clean’ Alpaca walking socks. I love walking and when I was recently given my own pair of Alpaca walking socks I threw them on and went hiking for 4 hours in complete comfort and without even thinking it!

A present from my better half, they arrived in a beautifully packaged box with a bow and all!

Believe it or not Alpaca fleece was so highly regarded that it was used by Inca royalty… good enough for them good enough for me I say! I’ve learnt a lot about Alpaca hair in fact – it has hollow fibre properties which makes it incredibly light, warm and hard wearing and very hypoallergenic.

In fact Alpaca wool actually repels bacteria and odour which means I don’t have to wash them… well… not often anyway!

They truly are a bargain at £20 and I suggest that if you’re struggling to find a pressie for the hiker, walker or climber that has everything… look no further than Perilla

I have always dreaded the day when I would start receiving slippers as Christmas gifts. The time has come I feel, although the smoking jacket and pipe maybe a few years off - maybe!

Nonetheless, I can’t help but admire these cashmere slippers from Harrys of London. Although the retail price of £325 ($650) makes them the most expensive slippers I’ve ever come across…

Warm feet here we come…
