For the sporting and outdoor enthusiasts, Finisterre has got a fantastic range of environmentally friendly and; lightweight clothing that would make the ideal gift for any man in your life.
Passionate about creating high-spec, low-impact clothing, Finisterre provides the ultimate in comfort and credibility, leaving their clothes soft and breathable. A perfect example of this is the Anabatic Lightweight Waterproof Jacket.
To appreciate how lightweight this jacket is, you really have to have a feel for yourself. It really is shockingly light, weighing hardly anything at all! The fabric literally moves moisture away from the body, whilst still remaining totally waterproof and windproof. This is a fantastic jacket to wear in poor weather conditions whilst on a sporting activity
What’s more is the way the jacket has been ergonomically cut. This allows for the maximum amount of movement, and is actually very flattering (well, on man anyway!). The hood on the jacket is also a very clever idea. It looks something like a cap with a stiffened and wired peak, and is also very easy to adjust to fit whoever is wearing it.
The specifications of the Anabatic Waterproof windproof and Lightweight Jacket are as follows:-
- Slim and ergonomic cut
- Helmet compatible
- Multi-adjustable hood
- Waterproof Riri Aqua-zips
- Fully adjustable Velcro cuffs
- Cinch waist hem
- Waterproof taped seam
- Super lightweight (360gms2)
- Available in Fire Cracker Red, Fathom Blue and Online Green.
An extra bonus to the jacket is the Eco-Friendliness of it; it’s made of part recycled materials and is also 100% recyclable. This new bold benchmark in the Finisterre Range is something very special indeed.

This is a clever idea, and one that will guarantee more pounds in your wallet. The RazorPit, a razor sharpener, will prolong lifespan of your everyday razor blade by an astounding 150 shaves. Yes, you read that right, 150 extra shaves on the one blade!
My fiancé detests buying razor blades because they can be so expensive. He usually ends up buying a new razor most of the time, as that works out cheaper sometimes. But, with me confessing to use his razor quite a lot, it’s not surprising how often he needs to change the blade!
So, now with RazorPit we can save money (up to 90% on buying new blades), and us ladies will be allowed to continue using our beloved’s razor guilt-free. I promise you, each shave feels like you have a new blade in your razor each time, giving you a cleaner shave. And as an extra bonus, it is made of recyclable materials, making it the perfect eco-friendly gift for anyone.
The RazorPit works by using friction technology. This allows you to remove the residues of hair, skin and soap, which are the main components in giving us blunt blades. It is extremely easy to use. Apply a soap or shaving product to the surface of the RazorPit, press firmly with the razor and push forward four times, rinse both the RazorPit and razor, then place the razor on the RazorPit to dry. Your razor will be left as good as new. As simple as your ABC’s.
The RazorPit is priced at £19.95, and available from http://www.razorpit.com.
I love hand knitted things! They look so sweet and you just know that a lot of care and attention has gone into making whatever it may be. So if you are looking to buy a gift for somebody which looks fantastic, visit the Fine Cotton Company where you will find a collection of knitted, hand stitched accessories. The Fine Cotton Company is a stylish environmentally friendly company, who offers some of the best gorgeous accessories for your home.
Making an ideal gift for the home is the warm and cosy Hot Water Bottle Covers. They come in a selection of colours and designs, and some come in two sizes. I know a lot of people who would use one of these. It is the perfect gift to give someone for the cold, winter evenings. The Knitted Hot Water Bottle covers collections start at £30.00.
What I also love in the knitted range is the selection of Knitted hearts. These really are delightful, all tightly packed with wheat and soothing lavender. Now these you could put anywhere within your home, out on display somewhere, or in your wardrobe to help keep your clothes smelling fresh. I actually have mine on my bedside table. I find that the lavender helps me drift off to sleep easier, aiding a good night’s sleep.
Another fine product coming to The Fine Cotton Company in September 2010 is the White Porcelain Tea light. These are really sweet looking, with each one comprising of a different design. They just ooze quality and will add a touch of luxury to the room you have it displayed in. Made of magical porcelain, it is clear glazed making it become almost translucent when lit.
All the mentioned plus much more are available at http://www.thefinecottoncompany.com.
Being a mother, I know all too well how annoying it is to put coats on and off babies in the colder months. Most of the winter months are spent putting coats on babies and taking them off again, whist going from indoors to outdoors. This is not only time consuming if your in a hurry (which most mums are!), but it is mostly disturbing for a baby, especially if they are asleep in the process of it all. So, with thanks to Morrck, the ingeniously designed baby Hoodie has come to the rescue.
Morrck state:-
“The Baby Hoodie is a unique, hooded travel wrap, shaped to fit into a car seat or pushchair. Slits allow safety harnesses to feed through the soft fleece, allowing you to strap your baby in and wrap the Hoodie around them when going into the cold, or fold back the layers when you’re somewhere warmer. The Hoodie can also stay fitted to a car seat or pushchair and placed in the hold of a plane.”
Sounds good, doesn’t it! Just think, your little precious baby can be as snug as a bug in a rug, move from place to place and all this with no interrupted sleep – a dream for all parents (and not forgetting the babies themselves).
Morrck have a range of Baby Hoodies available, in fact they have one for each season of the year! These Baby Hoodies really will make great baby snuggle blankets for all babies. They include:-
The Classic Baby Hoodie (£32.95) – This is the warmest one, offering a double layer of thick, cosy fleece.
The All Season Baby Hoodie (from £32.95) – This hosts one layer of fleece and another of 100% cotton jersey. It is incredibly warm for the winter months. In the summer months, the cool cotton layer means it is ideal for spring and autumn. This particular one is an ideal choice for a new baby, making a fantastic newborn blanket.
Morrck also provide lightweight and ultra lightweight Hoodies for the summer months. And, also the Morrganic Hoodie for all of us eco friendly people. Check out http://www.morrck.com for their full range.
This really is a bath time must have for eco-friendly tots everywhere, making wonderful newborn gifts!
The revolutionary cuddledry baby apron towel will make a wonderful gift for new mums and dads across the country. This is a fantastic and brilliant towel which offers the unique combination of safety after bath time whilst providing the upmost luxury for the most special thing in their lives.
I have 2 boys and know how difficult it can be to get your slippery baby out of the bath and wrapped up in a little towel. Yes, I know that we have all been using the simplicity of this for years on end, but, just think how long it actually takes! You lift your baby out of the bath, onto a towel, and then wrap the baby up. This can take some juggling at times. At times you just wish you had an extra hand to help things along.
What the Cuddledry Towel will do is to allow mum or dad lift the baby out, straight into their arms and wrapped up all cosy within seconds. The towel sits around your neck, just like an apron will, leaving the main towel lay against you ready for the baby to be lifted onto. Baby is safe and warm, and mum and dad get that extra time for cuddling your little one dry. Sounds just perfect! This will make for a much easier and enjoyable experience for you and your baby.
Only the highest quality materials are used in the making of the cuddledry, as with other products within their range. All the fibres are unbleached and coloured using only natural dyes. This makes it completely eco friendly – just the way it should be with your new baby.
Cuddledry designers Helen Woolridge and Polly Marsh have got to be so pleased with themselves for producing this product. I think it is such a great idea. The Cuddledry is getting ever so popular now, being used by tens of thousands of parents throughout the world. Approximately 1 in 20 parents now possess one. Celebrities love it, and even midwives and maternity nurses are recommending it. Now I also recommend it.
The Cuddledry is available in oatmeal, natural white, soft pink and soft blue, and is priced at £24.99. Or if you would like to add a fun element to bath time, the cute cow print and wild giraffe designs are available for £29.99.
The Cuddledry apron is available to buy from Mothercare, John Lewis, Harrods and Debenhams as well as the Cuddledry website http://www.cuddledry.com.
