Monogrammed Linen Shop (MLS) offer a huge range of bespoke monograms on linen. Given the name of the shop, that in itself is not surprising.
It’s the creative skill they clearly have that makes MLS a cut above the rest.
I see a lot of gift ideas on a daily basis, and maybe I have become too accustomed to what makes a great present. Sometimes, though, something comes along that even draws gasps from me (!).
Sentiment packed, totally unique and so very special….MLS has nailed it.
Although the image above shows a silhouette of a youngster, this perfect example of cutting edge embroidery could be applied to anything - Partner, pet…but it works so well with your little loved ones. The embroidered handwriting is the icing.
Staying with Kids (Hey, Mothers Day’s coming in quick!), The chance to turn your little ones masterpieces into something other than another piece of paper in another box is simply beautiful.
MLS personalised pillow is just simply awesome, the possibilities endless.
It has taken some time, but I may have just uncovered my favorite personalised gift idea!
Look what I created using Photobox’s brand new Facebook app, just in time for Valentine’s day!
http://www.photoboxfavouritephotos.co.uk
‘Love is in the app’ is the perfect way to woo any partner this Feb 14th. This clever Facebook app from PhotoBox is easy to use and may stir up some old romantic feelings! And it’s FREE!!
After pulling all your Facebook photos together from your personal albums plus any snaps you’re tagged in; you’ll be asked four amorous and thought provoking questions. Your photos scroll past in kitsch real-life scenarios – frames on a mantelpiece to scattered polaroids amid coffee cups on your work desk – whilst you choose the pic that makes your heart skip a beat – ‘favourite place’, fuzzy feeling’, ‘a photo that makes you smile’ and of course ‘the things you love the most’.
Once you’ve chosen the photos that rock your world, watch as your romantic memories appear in a stylish photo montage in front of your eyes, with a variety of loved up backgrounds to choose from. Then the easy bit; share your heartfelt snapshot with the one you love via email or on Facebook to guarantee smitten smiles every time.
You can even turn your montage and favourite photos into beautiful keepsakes for that long lasting loving feeling. Photobox offers a huge range of options for your new collection of images.
Timeless Gifts.
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!
Those who know me will also know how much I adore Build-A-Bear teddies. Cute, adorable, completely charming and the workshops is something truly amazing to do with your children.
Build-A-Bear Workshop will be spreading a little love this Valentine’s Day by introducing beary cute Valentine’s Day products. Just take a look at how sweet these are:-
Start your loveable furry friendships with Marry Me Read Teddy £15.00, and available for a limited time only is Love Bear £13.50 and Love Bug Bear £13.50.
Either go yourself to make up your unique teddy, or bring your loved one to one of the many workshops in the UK to experience the excitement for themselves. Build-A-Bear says:
“As February approaches, Guests can find the perfect gift to cele-bear-ate Valentine’s Day at Build-A-Bear Workshop. Build-A-Bear Workshop provides an experience that the recipient and gift giver can share together, making personalised gifts from the heart to give to loved ones”.
As part of the Build-A-Bear Workshop bear-making experience, each Guest selects a small satin heart – a Build-A-Bear Workshop trademark, adds to it his or hers own love and wishes and carefully places inside their new furry friend.
Upon creating a love-themed bear and reciting the promise to love and adore their new furry friend, Guests are then able to dress their bears in personalised outfits and high fashion. The friendship by no means ends at the store however, as guests can bring new friends to life online at http://www.buildabearville.com, the company’s virtual world.
I have two young boys who like me, are totally in awe of these teddies. They had the ultimate experience of building their own bear, and these now live on their beds – and will for a long time to come. The bears have been admired by many, young and old, and no matter what age the recipient is, they will be sure to love it too.
You can accessorise your bear with many items. This Valentine’s, your new bear could include any of these:-
• Love Bug Dress (£10.00)
• Red Bow Purse (£4.50)
• Heart Fairy (10.00)
• Heart Antennae (£2.50)

U star Novels produce a range of personalised, saucy novels. I think it’s fair to say that these could also be known as literary aphrodisiacs!
For Valentine’s, there’s no need to go out for the evening. Just cosy up with your partner and your bespoke book, read together and wait for the fireworks!
There is something fascinating about reading about the sexual exploits of you and your partner…it’s very naughty!
But, oh so nice!
You need to order quick for Valentine’s day delivery, by February 9th should ensure it arrives on time.
For the personalisation, simply answer a number of personal questions; nicknames, eye colour, favourite food, music, perfume, lingerie colour etc. and then select one of nine novels to star in.
Choose from Fever in France, Spanish Sizzle, English Encounters and other steamy sounding titles, and you and your lover will be entwined in a love story - perhaps being chased by diamond smugglers in the French Riviera, discovering a hidden tomb in Naples or doing whatever it takes to escape being drawn into the vampire underworld forever in the latest title, Blood Lust.
The novels range in sexual content from sensual and romantic through to erotic, enabling you to find the perfect level of sauciness for you and your partner.
They are a romantic way to say ‘I love you’ on Valentine’s Day and a gift that can be enjoyed together for many years to come!
£24.85 for this much fun makes this a great Valentine’s Day option.
Viagra in a book.
