At Iconic Gifts, it takes a lot for us to sit up and take notice of a new gift idea. We have seen it all…or so we thought.
Check out Sweet Arrangements and their range of beautifully crafted Sweet trees. Perfect for weddings and corporate events, yes, but also a perfect gift for sweet lovers.
London based Sweet Arrangements offer a huge range of trees and filled vases. The choice is vast and each order is handmade.
The range of unusual sweet gifts is also comprehensive and the best bit? The price!
The trees are bespoke to your requirements, so prices vary but Sweet Trees are around £40 - £55 with arrangements £35 - £60.
Do you know a sweet lover?! Would this be the perfect gift? The trees could be a great anniversary or birthday present and would also work really well in the corporate sector.
In short, I think I am going to start tree hugging. Totally love this great use of sweets.

I love this ingenious Digital Thermometer Soother.
This innovative pacifier thermometer is designed to allow you to take your baby’s temperature while comforting your baby at the same time. This is such a clever idea, and one that I feel many parents should have. Being a Mum myself, I would have most definitely bought this when my boys were babies. You could see an end to struggling with wriggling and crying little ones when taking temperatures, and take the easy more relaxed approach of the Digital Thermometer Soother.
The Digital Thermometer Soother costs £4.99 and is available from http://www.maison-bebe.com.
If you haven’t heard about It’s Your story, then I am more than happy to tell you all about them and their newest adventure. Just think of how happy you little one would be to receive a book in which they star! Well, thanks to the ingenious It’s Your Story, this can be made into reality.
Being the first company in the UK to sell photo-personalised books on the web, they have a superb range of 26 books as well as cards, party invites, e-books, e-cards and even a photo-personalised Father Christmas letter. Sounds good, doesn’t it! And now, they have a fantastic E-Book available which will be delivered to your inbox in less than 5 minutes after completion of your order! And it couldn’t be easier to do!
There are two stories available, the very popular SuperSox and an Animated Snowman story. I have actually seen both of these in the book style, with my own children being the star’s of the book! The stories are absolutely fantastic. But now with computers becoming increasingly in use with the younger generation, the version of the E-Story is a splendid idea.
Let me tell you a little about SuperSox and the vanishing teddies. The story follows the child’s adventures as they track down the evil Professor and Noxious Weed who have stolen the children’s teddies. You will be able to see how SuperSox squeezes through keyholes, blasts through walls and flies through the sky to rescue the teddies. It’s a fun story which will guarantee a lot of giggles!
Once you have placed your order you will receive an email with a link to view the e-story as many times as you want. This can be forwarded to friends and family so they can see your superhero in action!
All you have to do is give details of the child’s surname, address, family members, names of two friends, age, hair and eye colour, favourite TV programme, weight, height, size of feet and the name for the teddy bear that will also features in the story. Simply pay the small fee of £4.99, and you will have your story completed and delivered in 5 minutes. You have got to love this one!

I adore this Grandma Cushion – perfect for any Grandma any time of the year, but even better at Christmas time!
This delightful Hand painted ‘You Put The Grand In Grandma’ Cushion is a truly spectacular looking cushion.

What a beautiful message! It’s sure to bring a happy tear to any Grandma’s eye!

Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without some delicious chocolates to delve into. And, with Guylian Chocolates easy to get at hand, there is no better way to share treats with your loved ones! The world’s favourite Belgian chocolatier, like every year, has something for everyone, and is certain to keep all the family happy.
With many delectable boxes available to us, it will be hard to choose which one you want! But, as they are all at fantastic prices, why not pick up one of each for a true treat! Below are two that I have had the pleasure of tasting.
La Perlina really is a mouth-watering box of chocolates. Each individual chocolate is made from 74% dark or milk chocolate and filled with a velvety smooth milk truffle centre. Yes, they do taste as good as they sound! Guylian’s 132g La Perlina box provides an intense chocolate sensation, guaranteed to appease chocolate lovers this Christmas. These would make great stocking fillers for many, but even better as a gift to yourself! These are available in a choice of milk or dark truffles and costs £3.99.
Guylian Temptations Gift Box is another fabulous chocolate selection! This latest creation takes their trademark Guylian seahorse shape, with each seahorse individually wrapped. The chocolates are then presented in a wonderful creative gift box, which doubles as a serving tray when opened. Each box contains an assortment of the Original Praliné (copper wrapper), Dark Praliné (dark brown wrapper), and the Milk Truffle (blue wrapper). These too would make a great gift, and are wonderful for putting on the table for guest.
Guylian’s Chocolates are available from all high street retailers and will without a doubt make a perfect accompaniment to your shopping basket this Christmas.
