At Iconic Gifts, we try our best to find the very best gift solutions. So, What if there is one website that offers such a comprehensive list of gift options?...Should we give up looking for more ideas?!!
That website is Photobox. The range seems to grow daily whilst the prices seem to shrink! I haven’t used any other photo site that is this simple to navigate.
I ordered a few bits to see how easy it was to upload, crop and create….If I can do it, anyone can.
I also wanted to check on transit times. I am happy to report that I received a poster print the very next day. With these prints starting at £5.49 for 12” x 12”, it’s awesome value.
A couple of days later, I received a box framed print. This is a relatively new product and is a good alternative to photos on canvas. The chunky frame naturally draws your eyes to the image, with prices starting at £29.99 (25.4 x 20.3 cm), Everyone will be delighted.
Some of these products can still be ordered in time for Valentine’s Day. One such product is the Walbum. I love the simplicity behind this.
The Walbum is made from sturdy plastic and can hold 20 photos on each side. Fill it with loads of romantic photos for the most perfect Valentine’s gift. With this not being a permanent display, you can chop and change as you like.
Guys….It’s £5.49!!! (You need to add the photo’s in, but guess what? Photobox can certainly help with that, prints from 5p!)
But Photobox does so much more. I tried out their business cards design templates. So easy to use, and when my cards turned up, I was impressed with a real professional finish.
Photobox doesn’t stop there either.
Personalised T shirts / jigsaws / canvas prints / cushions / photobooks / mugs / coasters / teddies / diaries and on and on and ON!!!
Great service, great prices, great products and a great product range.
Go and have a look at their website, but Peeps, don’t forget us….Please come back and see us soon!
Those who know me will also know how much I adore Build-A-Bear teddies. Cute, adorable, completely charming and the workshops is something truly amazing to do with your children.
Build-A-Bear Workshop will be spreading a little love this Valentine’s Day by introducing beary cute Valentine’s Day products. Just take a look at how sweet these are:-
Start your loveable furry friendships with Marry Me Read Teddy £15.00, and available for a limited time only is Love Bear £13.50 and Love Bug Bear £13.50.
Either go yourself to make up your unique teddy, or bring your loved one to one of the many workshops in the UK to experience the excitement for themselves. Build-A-Bear says:
“As February approaches, Guests can find the perfect gift to cele-bear-ate Valentine’s Day at Build-A-Bear Workshop. Build-A-Bear Workshop provides an experience that the recipient and gift giver can share together, making personalised gifts from the heart to give to loved ones”.
As part of the Build-A-Bear Workshop bear-making experience, each Guest selects a small satin heart – a Build-A-Bear Workshop trademark, adds to it his or hers own love and wishes and carefully places inside their new furry friend.
Upon creating a love-themed bear and reciting the promise to love and adore their new furry friend, Guests are then able to dress their bears in personalised outfits and high fashion. The friendship by no means ends at the store however, as guests can bring new friends to life online at http://www.buildabearville.com, the company’s virtual world.
I have two young boys who like me, are totally in awe of these teddies. They had the ultimate experience of building their own bear, and these now live on their beds – and will for a long time to come. The bears have been admired by many, young and old, and no matter what age the recipient is, they will be sure to love it too.
You can accessorise your bear with many items. This Valentine’s, your new bear could include any of these:-
• Love Bug Dress (£10.00)

And if it is the ultimate, lavish chocolate you are looking for, then look no further than La Maison du Chocolat. Take a look as this splendid valentine’s chocolate gift:-
“Chocolate is the perfect gift for dazzling lovers everywhere. Translating this year’s theme into flavours for Valentine’s 2011 became a fascinating game of combining love with fine taste. I wanted to capture the essence of what “Haute Couture” means to people today.”– Gilles Marchal

The Coeur de Ganache chocolate box is a true “Haute Couture” piece. Each chocolate has been handmade specifically for this box. Each chocolate being incredibly divine and utterly mouth watering – you have to taste them to believe me!

Designed to instil regular dental hygiene habits in children, whilst making the routine fun and enjoyable, is the new Firefly Toothbrush. Take a look at these:-
I have two boys aged 4 & 5, and know what a huge task it is to get them to brush their teeth properly – it can be a nightmare sometimes! In my household, it sounds like all hell has broke loose when it comes the time to brush teeth, and in the end up I just end up doing it for them as it is just easier! Wrong I know, but I am sure I’m not the only mum who does this! So you can imagine how excited I was when I received the Firefly Toothbrushes, and when my kids said how ‘cool’ they were and went straight to the bathroom to check them out – delighted is an understatement!
Firefly uses a light up technology within their toothbrushes. These emit a flashing light lasting for one minute, giving the child the right amount of time to brush either their upper or lower teeth. Then, they simply move the brush and press the light again, to complete their brushing routine. So simple and very effective – kids will love it. What my boys have started doing is to brush for the first minute with the lights off – they love to see the flashing red toothbrush light up the bathroom and their faces and have a great wee giggle along with it.
Firefly toothbrushes come in a range of assorted colours as well as characters such as Spiderman & Hello Kitty – characters kids know and love. They are nice and cheap too from £1.49-£2.49 and are available from Argos, Lloyds pharmacies and other leading independent stockists. With the introduction of Firefly’s range of toothbrushes, brushing will become the latest must do kids craze!
If you’ve not yet been caught up in he trend for ‘dentist clean’ teeth every morning and before you go to bed then it’s about time you did! Electric toothbrushes have made a massive comeback in the past few years and the technology and design has moved on to a new level.
We recently had the opportunity to trial the Oral-B® Triumph™ PC 4000, which retails for £130. It may seem a lot of money to spend on your pearlers BUT without proper brushing your teeth simply are not going to stand the test of time.
