Canvas prints and Photo Books are becoming increasingly popular, and I’m delighted to introduce you to one of the largest European photo book suppliers active in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France and the United Kingdom. Albelli are an exceptional upmarket photo company that specialise in excellent photo and printing services.

Albelli specialise in beautiful and stylish gifts created using your favourite photos and memories. I had the pleasure of reviewing a canvas print and was not disappointed at all!  It really couldn’t be easier to do – simply upload your chosen photo (in my case, my favourite image from Lord of the Rings!), follow the instructions, and within minutes, your order is completed!  It is incredibly quick and easy.  The final result (once Mr Postie delivered it – around 4 days after ordering!) was impressive – I absolutely love it!  Take a look for yourself!

Albelli have a huge variety of products in which you can create and design anything you want in just 10 minutes!  If you want to create a something that combines special memories with a creative twist then Canvas or Acrylic Prints are perfect. Whether it’s capturing a hobby, a series of amazing landscapes or just a gorgeous photo of friends and family these are superb. Each one only needs a single photo and the result is stunning.

Their Photo Books are also a great idea; in fact, they have been voted number 1 photo book by Channel 5’s gadget show! They showcase you precious memories wonderfully and would make for heartfelt gifts for many.  With thick glossy paper, hard back covers and templates to help you add those important finishing touches, they make a beautiful, interesting table book.

Tresor Paris has created two special limited edition bracelets for this Valentines Day 2012.  These will both delight and surprise your loved one immensely on this romantic occasion.

Aptly named Amour and Je’taimé these bespoke bracelets will make that special someone feel even more special.  They are completely gorgeous and quality oozes from them!

The Amour bracelet is made up of 20 red crystal spheres and finished with a silver heart shaped charm.  Similar to the iconic Neptune design, the Amour bracelet shows off sparkling red crystals to perfection.  The Tibetan cord runs through each sphere giving it that classic 1950’s look – I love it!  This Amour bracelet (black cord) costs £169.

The Je’taimé bracelet has the trademark Tresor Paris Tibetan cord with a hand finished red heart shaped sphere.  It looks simple, elegant, and I’m sure very striking on her wrist!  This Je’taimé bracelet costs a more affordable £29.

The Amour and Je’taime bracelets are available for a limited time.  Don’t worry if you miss out on them as Tresor Paris has further delectable products to choose from.  Visit http://www.tresorparis.com for a peek at their fabulous range.

Who doesn’t like a bit of chocolate?  Well, I know I certainly love a good chocolate bar, and trust me – it doesn’t get better than this one!  Yes, these fabulous bars from Jamie Oliver will not only put a smile on his or her face, but will deliver a message as well!

image

These bars have been made to really make a statement so you might not even need a card this Valentine’s Day!!!  Yes, pop a bar into the post and let Mr Postie deliver it to your chosen lady/man and sign it off from their secret admirer – now, that I like the sound of!  With statements such as ‘Big Love’ and ‘Smooth Operator’, sending the right message is easy!
Jamie Oliver’s Chocolate Bars are all organic, fair-trade and incredibly delicious!  All have different flavours which are utterly mouth-watering!  If you’re a lover of Dark Chocolate, the ‘Light My Fire’ is the one for you!  This is a rich dark chocolate with spiced with warming ginger and orange.  Simply eat it as it is, or add to a homemade pudding for zingy chocolate flavour – yummy!

image

Each bar will only set you back £2.00, so it’s well affordable for all.  They are available to buy in Debenhams and from http://www.jamieoliver.com where you can also check out further stockists.

Thank you Jamie, I’m sure you will make many a person happy this Valentine’s Day.

I love these earphones! OK, so they’re not the most beautiful bits of tech you have ever seen, but you get a quality piece of kit for the price!

The Etymotic HF3’s are understated, comfortable and perfect for the most demanding audio connoisseurs. Using noise isolation these earphones offer a high-end experience at a rather reasonable price of £134.95.

Comfort
One of the overriding perceptions that people have of in-earphones, is that they are uncomfortable – this is certainly NOT the case for the HF3’s, as their soft and flexible ear buds provide a superbly comfortable listening experience. Due to their malleable form, they sit snugly in the ear canal and lodge firmly in place, so you don’t have to worry about them falling out.

As I have larger and more cavernous ears, the large buds suited my needs just fine. However, if you’re not jug eared like me, then there are diddy ones for you to wrap your lug holes around. The provided ear bud shapes also vary just to make sure they suit your needs. Furthermore, Etyomotic offer a service that provides users with customisable earplugs – just to make sure you are comfortable! - http://www.etymotic.com/customfit/index.html

Sound
In terms of sound quality – the HF3’s score good marks, yet again! The speakers deliver crisp, sharp notes, which are a joy to listen to.  The bass is relatively good for an in-ear headset, but sometimes suffers at higher volumes. But it has to be said, the audio quality is comparable to far more expensive headsets, if not better!
