Mothers - they are our inspiration and the person we tend to turn to first if we are in need a little extra love.  They deserve the best in everything, and we always want to get them gifts which will put a smile on their faces.  With Mother’s Day coming up, looking for that one special present can be hard.  If your Mum is like mine, they will have everything and she is exceptionally hard to buy for.  So, how about getting her the most mouth watering, yummylicious gift with the help of the English Cheesecake Company. 

The English Cheesecake Company have been working hard by producing their delicious range of luxurious delights – perfect for showing just how much you care! The look of them alone is something that will make you taste buds go crazy!

Why not try indulgent ‘Champagne White Chocolate Truffle’ (£35.00).  It consists of a velvety white chocolate filling with a healthy dose of Marc Du Champagne, lovingly sprinkled with white chocolate curls…luxurious and very yummy!

Or, treat your Mum like royalty with the ‘Strawberries and Queen’ cheesecake (£38.00).  It consists of a very delectable Cornish clotted cream filling, packed full of mouth-watering fresh strawberries and delicately drizzled with white chocolate…Can you feel your mouth watering yet?

Or, for the ultimate way to show your affection, wow you’re Mum with ‘In Full Bloom’ (£23.99). It consists of a vanilla cheesecake, loaded with scrumptious milk, white and dark chocolate roses; all on top of a buttery biscuit base…This really has the ‘wow’ factor, and is one that I wouldn’t say no to.

I have had the ultimate pleasure of sampling a Cheesecake from The English Cheesecake Company, and have got to say that I have never tasted anything quite like it before.  I am a huge fan of cheesecakes, and can never say no to eating a portion (or 3!) when it is offered.  But, after sampling the best cheesecake ever, the English Cheesecake Company is number one for me.  I highly recommend them.

Each 8 inch cheesecake serves 12 portions and prices start from £22.99. They are available to buy at englishcheesecake.com.

Let me introduce you to Lip Smackers, the tasty lip sensation which come in a range of fantastic flavours.  They not only help protect your from dry, cracked or chapped lips, but will leave your lips feeling soft and shiny. 

image

Lip Smackers are available in a variety of flavours, being; Coca Cola (Cherry, Classic or Vanilla), Sprite and Fanta (Orange or Strawberry).  I have tried the classic Coca Cola and the Sprite flavours, and it really does leave the taste of the real thing!  My boys love them and use them daily.  They actually bring them to school; their little class mates are rather jealous and are now asking their Mum’s to buy them some!

Lip Smackers really are great lip moisturisers and will leave your lips feeling exceptionally conditioned.  They taste and smell great, and won’t cost you much at all.

You can buy Lip Smackers individually or as gift sets. and are unbeatable in taste.

Priced at £2.50 each, or the gift set priced at £12 all being stocked at TopShop and Primark.

For those who know me, they will know how much I adore Build-A-Bear.  Not only are these bears utterly fantastic, but the experience from visiting a workshop is something else altogether.  I had the joy of bringing my two boys to a Build-A-Bear workshop, and to see their little faces light up from just walking into the store made it a perfect day in itself.  Seeing them make their bears with total glee and excitement, and then bring the bears to life is completely priceless.  It is a memory that will stay with me for some time, and an experience I highly recommend to any Mother. I have reviewed these gorgeous little bears for a while now, and just can’t stop myself from sharing Build-A-Bear’s newest releases to our readers. 

Last year, Build-A-Bear introduced the delightful limited edition line called SmallFrys.  These are basically a ‘baby’ version of the average bear, but have got the ultimate cute factor.  And now I am very happy to tell you that SmallFrys are back with their 2nd edition.  Look how incredibly sweet they are:-

They stand at a small 7” high, and I can guarantee that this will be your child’s favourite ‘baby teddy’ for a long time to come.  And, you can get some very cute outfits for them too! Build-A-Bear say:-

“Feed your friendship with build-a-bear smallfrys. 1 serving of this endless hugs teddy contains 100% of your daily allowance of hugs, fun, laughter, friendship and self expression!”

My youngest received a SmallFrys Bear last year, and it has been his best companion since.  Whenever he is feeling poorly, or about to get into bed, his ‘baby’ is the first thing he grabs.  He really is so soft a cuddly (and so is the bear!), you will want to cuddle him all night.

image

I urge Iconic Gift readers to give their child an experience of a lifetime, and treat them to the most ultimate gift they could have.  You can get your SmallFrys at stores nationwide or at http://www.buildabear.co.uk, the teddies are priced at a tiny £8 each and the outfits are £5 each.

We’ve all got one – the friend who has everything! They’re impossible to buy gifts for… or at least they were.

If the person you’re thinking of enjoys traveling, or enjoys events like motor races or festivals, why not consider hiring them an American RV for the weekend? You can hire a Winnebago for around £2,000 for two days and send your loved ones to the British Grand Prix or Glastonbury in style.

You don’t need to worry about the standard of accommodation – American motorhomes have every ‘mod con’ you can think of – separate rooms, satellite TV and surround sound, a hot shower, fully-equipped kitchen, quad fridge freezer, leather sofas, DVD player… the list goes on!
