Online retailer, CafePress, provides us with some great clothing that would make a fantastic gift for young children, teenagers and grown-ups. They have no less than 250 millions products on their site for purchase, with the designs created by the customers themselves. Or if you don’t want to use any of their designs, you can create and design one of your very own.
CafePress really do have something for everyone. From baby grows to sweatshirts and Hoodies, and personalised Ornaments to Custom Thongs! Express your feelings and thoughts into your design and your final product could be the next best seller on CafePress. Go for something cute for the kids, sporty for Dad or sexy for your other half, the selection available is so vast that whatever you are looking for you are most definitely going to get!
You could create or buy a design reflecting a particular time of year. Choosing something for the upcoming Halloween and Christmas celebrations (my favourite time of year). Or if you are going on a stag or hen night, personalise you very own merchandise with humorist slogans, adding some fun and laughs on this special night. Maybe you are a mad keen fan of a particular movie like Twilight? There is a large selection of products based on many movies like Twilight to choose from, and if you don’t like them, well, design your own!
I have received a selection of products from CafePress and am impressed with them all. From personalised tee shirts and bags, to badges and clocks, all can carry different slogans of you choice, making it very personal for the person you are buying it for. I must admit, my new favourite item to wear now is their Hoodie. It is incredibly comfortable and warm, and I am not surprised that the Hoodies are one of CafePress’s best sellers. I highly recommend it.
So go on and express yourself. Visit http://www.cafepress.com and enjoy looking for that wonderful, personal and passionate product, something your gift recipient will just love. Prices vary on the size and personalisation of each product; all prices are in my eyes very reasonable.
I do not know what it is, but there is a certain magic in Cornwall. Call me mad – you wouldn’t be the first – but you can almost feel it.
It is very fitting that such a magical place produces such magical beer. Sharp’s brewery in Rock, Cornwall now have a very impressive product portfolio….The ultimate gift for him!
Sharp’s “Doom bar” is an ale that is growing a huge following. It’s distinctive aroma and balanced flavour sets it apart from other beers taking unsuspecting first time drinkers by surprise with its moreish appeal.
Doom Bar has achieved international cult status, is one of the fastest growing beer brands in the UK and the best selling cask beer in the South West of England.
Doom bar can now be ordered online by the bottle or the Keg (5 litre keg for £24) at Sharp Breweries website. There are not too many online ordering facilities for Real Ale, Sharp’s Brewery is a very welcome addition. I’m ordering a keg, just for myself!
The great thing about Sharp’s website is the choice. Apart from the excellent Doom bar, you can enjoy “Chalky’s Bite” and “Chalky’s Bark”. Chalky being, of course, local resident Rick Stein’s Pooch. The “Bite” is a glorious ale with a little bit of a kick, the “Bark” is brewed a touch weaker at 4.5% and lightly flavoured with fresh ginger. Both perfect summer refreshers.
And also on this mecca of a site for beer lovers, you can buy The Eden Project’s own Ale, which I loved. Quality wise, this is up there with every other Eden project product we have seen before. Tastewise, it’s a very close runner up to the Mighty Doom Bar!
This has to be contender for the coolest summer drink…A very special, carbonated Vodka.
5 times distilled Camitz Sparkling Vodka tatses as you would expect - cool, clean and crisp.
Camitz Sparkling Vodka is distilled in Sweden from grain sourced from the wheat fields of Scandinavia. The water comes from the renowned ice age underground springs of Töllsjö, where the balance of minerals is ideal for the production of superior vodka.
The all-natural source of carbonation is documented to be the cleanest gas of its kind in the world.
On it’s own Camitz is very special. For the ultimate summer cocktail, try a 50/50 split with Champagne. There are some Mojito recipe’s below as well, but for me the Champagne / sparkling Vodka is a triumph.
Camitz Sparkling Vodka can be found in many of London’s most stylish bars and restaurants. Outlets include The Winchester at Islington in the city’s north, the exclusive Roof Gardens in Kensington, the swanky Sugar Hut in SW6 and The Last Days of Decadence in Shoreditch.
You can buy direct from selected retailers including Selfridges in London, Manchester and Birmingham and online specialists, DrinkEmporium.com, Firebox.com and Drinkshop.com. Recommended retail prices for Camitz Sparkling Vodka are £13.99 (200ml) and £29.99 (700ml).
Alcohol by volume (abv) of Camitz Sparkling Vodka is 40% and for optimum taste, this should be refrigerated and then chilled on ice before serving at +4°c /40°f.
