Essentially Me Artisan Perfumery is here to help us when it comes to buying perfume. We all know how difficult it con be choosing a particular perfume for someone, and usually just guess which one you think they will like. Then, like it has happened to me, that perfume will end up at the back of your cupboard, barely touched, for years on end!
What Essentially Me allows us to do, is to sample before we buy! They will send the recipient a set of five very different smelling perfumes. The recipient gets to choose which one they prefer, and then Essentially Me will send the fragrance of their choice in a 56ml Italian flint glass bottle. How fantastic is that? And, if that’s not enough, you can also send a personalised message with your gift.
Essentially Me perfumes are all made from the finest natural aromatics, which are sourced from around the world. Most of these are considered too expensive to use in commercial perfumery!
Five 1ml sample bottles and the Eau De Toilette (56ml) are priced at £55, available exclusively from Essentially Me.
However, Iconic Gift Readers are getting the opportunity for a fantastic offer. Customers need to enter code: ICONIC10 at the checkout they will receive 10% off all samples, full-size perfumes and the samples / perfume package. Now, that’s a deal I like!
If you want to tap in to the magic that inspires little ones, these personalised books will see you right.
www.itsyourstory.co.uk offer some amazing titles, with your child (or Grandchild) being the main character.
Allow your nipper to be the focus in “SuperSox and the Vanishing Teddies” - £17.50 or “(Child’s name) and the Beanstalk” - £19.99 to “(name of child) and Fairy Girls Unicorn Hunt” -£19.99.
The stories themselves are well written and perfect for the age range specified. Itsyourstory is really good at tweaking these for maximum personalisation - Your child’s best friend, child’s age, hair and eye colour, favourite TV programme, child’s weight, size of feet and in some stories the name of favourite teddy bear.
Your childs face is used in the pictures, superimposed onto the character for maximum effect.
A personal message at the front of the book makes this ideal as a real keepsake.
The itsyourstory website has loads of different titles. The ones I have listed above are from the 4 - 8 year old section. Also available are books for 1, 2 and 3 year olds.
My two boys were so chuffed with their books that they had to take them into school. The whole class was treated to a memorable story time!
Imagination fuel for little ones - the perfect gift
Famous Grouse have released a very special Fathers day edition of The Famous Grouse.
This fine whiskey, blended from a selection of award-winning single malts, including The Macallan and Highland Park, combined with subtle favours of finest grain whiskies to create a blend of the smoothest character.
The Famous Grouse will be available in a unique gift carton labelled ‘THE FAMOUS DAD’. It looks just perfect for Dads! Priced at £15.07 available from Sainsburys.
Or to really get the personal touch, how about a personalised label of The Famous Dad? RRP £21.99 + P&P, Available online at www.thefamousgrouse.com
Alternatively, The Black Grouse is a well balanced, rich and flavoursome whisky which marries the trademark quality and smoothness of The Famous Grouse with the smokiness of select peated malts. 50p from each Bottle goes to the RSPB to help fight extinction of The Black Grouse - so far, £30,000 has been raised.
Available at multiple retailers including Sainsbury’s, Tesco, Asda, Morrisons, co-op or online at http://www.black-grouse.com (£16.46)

Uplifting, heart-warming, sentimental and just absolutely beautiful! That’s just some of the words that arise in my head when I looked at the gifts I have received from photobox. Offering original and thoughtful gifts for Fathers Day (and many other occasions), to suit anyone, no matter what your needs are; you will definitely not be disappointed with what you get. If you’re looking for that special keepsake, then I urge you visit photobox and I will guarantee you will be smiling like a Cheshire cat when you have completed your order!
We all know how hard it is to buy presents for a Dad who has got everything, and who gives you no clue what-so-ever as to what he would like! My Fiancé is an absolute nightmare to buy for, always stating as long as he has me and the boys he needs nothing else (He’s such a softie at heart, but I love him for it). So whenever photobox contacted me, I was overjoyed. Now my special other half will have an extraordinary keepsake, which he will treasure and show off for many years. With plenty of different gifts to which you can upload you favourite photos, it really couldn’t be easier with Photobox.
I have 2 personal favourites, and my first is the hard back or soft back books. These books really are amazing. When I received my hard back book, it brought a tear to my eye! I chose my most loved photos of my 2 boys, uploaded them onto the site, and chose where to place them within the 26 page book. This really couldn’t be any easier. The only bit that was time-consuming for me was choosing photos from the thousands I have on my computer! You also have the option to auto fill, and the book will fill itself at supersonic speed. The book can also come with optional quotes, making it easier to say something extra special. My 2 boys helped me choose the photos, the theme (nautical, modern, pastel), background, fonts and also arrange the photos on the page in the way they wanted. It really was a fun time together. For each photo, you can add your own message, making it more personal. I really do recommend this for anyone. At a great price of £29.99, you really can’t get a more personal and heart touching gift.
My second favourite is the Canvas Art Work. Guaranteed to make Dad smile whenever he walks into the room where it is hung, even after Fathers Day. This will make an incredible surprise for him, an additional gift he will hold close to his heart for years on end. Choose a photograph that he really loves and transform it into a stunning canvas print. Dad might want to hang it in his office at work, or just simply have it on his living room wall. But to be quite honest, it will be worthy of any wall space anywhere. I was really blown away with the canvas print, it is a very special gift indeed, and I also thoroughly recommend it. Priced at £21.99 up to £69.99 for larger sizes, the canvas print will make a tremendous present for every Dad out there.
