With Christmas on the way, they are here to provide you with amazing decorations and crafts, not to mention fabulous gifts for your loved ones. I must admit, I love their cushions!
This Raw Silk Cushion Cover with Spiral Detailing would easily match in with any attire. The cushions are stunning in their own right! They come in a beautiful range of colours that have a spiral stitched image on the front in the same colour as the cushion. The cushion measures 40 x 40cm and is available in orange, gold, cerise, turquoise, red and white, costing you £19.99.
I also adore the range of Patchwork Cushion Cover’s. They look wonderful, sumptuous and luxurious. These beautifully and fresh newly patchworked cushions should most definitely put a smile on the recipients face. The cushion Cover’s measures 40x40 cm and is available in white, green, purple, fuchsia and turquoise, costing you £16.99.

Lakeland not only offers us fabulous kitchen ideas, but they also can provide you with amazing wedding gifts! From kitchen appliances through to stunning decorative products, finding that one special gift couldn’t be easier! Here are two products that I think are truly beautiful.
This Loop Candelabra candle holder (£19.99) would look lovely situated anywhere in a household! The swirling shape of this hand-crafted candle holder is pleasing from every angle, and the classic, chromed finish ensures it will never date. Inspired by the Fibonacci curve seen throughout nature in shells and waves, two or more can be interlinked to form an eye-catching centrepiece.
I just adore this Boutique Bird Jewellery Hanger (£18.99). Yes it may be more for a lady, but it does look good in the bedroom! With this you get a pair of feathered friends to look after your necklaces, rings and bracelets on antique-effect branches that give it a special well-worn look. Standing on a bedside table or dresser, it’s a contemporary design piece on its own merits and its rustic look will match any decor. It really is a stunning piece!

I would like to introduce you to Ashleigh & Burwood who produce a fantastic collection of Fragrance Lamps and Oils. These can make wonderful gifts for any occasion, be it birthdays, anniversaries or weddings. They would be great as thank you gifts for the bridesmaids, centre pieces at weddings or even a gift to the happy couple. With so many fragrances and designs to choose from there is something for everyone. You will not be disappointed with them at all!
There is a huge collection of decorative lamps to choose from. The lamps come in small through to extra large, and there is an array of fragrance oils to choose from. (I would like to recommend the Fresh Linen £6.50; it smells truly fresh and delightful!)
Ashleigh & Burwood state:-
“These fragrance lamps represent quality, luxury and above all style. The stunning ornamental fragrance lamps utilise a century-old catalytic combustion technique that filters airborne odour-causing molecules. In addition the fragrance contained within the fragrance lamp is emitted to provide a gentle fragrance to the room. The fragrance lamp compares favourably to other room fragrance products and is a most efficient diffuser of fragrance, spreading it evenly and quickly around a room.”
The Fragrance Lamps really are a spectacular piece, and it looks wonderful out on display. The Ashleigh & Burwood Fragrance Lamp is the ultimate product to refresh the home! Prices range from £21.50 - £37.50. But if you are looking for that something extra special, there is the Premiere Collection Crystal Fragrance Lamps, prices starting from £102.

Clothes can cost a fortune, so it makes huge sense to take good care of them! So, to help you with the perfect solution to caring for your clothes and linen is Total Wardrobe Care.
Total Wardrobe Care was created out of the need to find perfect solutions for people’s wardrobes. They stock a great range of products, and the best in hanging, storing and protecting clothing in wardrobes.
All these products contain a natural, organic moth deterrent that doesn’t leave a nasty smell on clothes. A wonderful aromatic New Forest scent works a treat on them – one that we love and moths hate!
Here are some of my favourites.
This Natural Anti-moth Linen Spray with Organic Essential Oils (£21.00) is a brilliant way to protect your garments from moths and to keep you wardrobe fresh. The fragrance is really lovely, and works just as well as a room spray, to use on upholstery, curtains and carpets. No more lingering nasty smells with this spray!
It is produced using 100% organically-grown essential oils including: May Chang, Lavender, Cedarwood, Patchouli, Laurel, Rosemary, Thyme and Clove Bud, hand-blended in natural plant alcohol and spring water – beautiful and aromatic. You can use this linen spray once a week in the moth breeding season (May to October) to help deter those little blighters!
The Natural Scented Anti-moth Drawer Liners (£12.50) will not only help to protect your clothes/linen, but will also help keep them smelling fresh. Being designed to line your drawers, they can also be used for lining Total Wardrobe Care Storage Boxes. The fragrance is once again lovely, and it will last for 3-4 months after opening. Once the smell disappears, you can refresh them a simple spray of the Linen Spray mentioned above.
These drawer liners contain the special recipe of natural anti-moth essential oils including May Chang, Lavender, Cedarwood, Patchouli, Laurel, Rosemary and Clove.

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!
