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!
Freya is turning up the heat this summer with its fantastic range of lingerie and swimwear, making you number one in the style category! Wearing any of the Freya range will not only make you feel stunningly beautiful, but it will without a doubt add a little sunshine into your life.
Being a little curvy myself (ok, a lot in my eyes!), finding the right fit in underwear can be quite tedious. So I praise Freya for dedicating themselves into giving us a wonderful selection of lingerie and swimwear that fits, feels and looks gorgeous. Sizes are available from a B to a J cup, so us top heavy girls will have no problem finding the perfect one.
There are many designs to choose from online, but my personal favourite is the Zodiac. Freya states; “Zodiac proves that clashing works like a dream, in a typical outrageous Freya print. Cat and rabbit silhouettes are featured peeping out from abstract flowers in a vivid colour palette, of purple, lime and jade on a black base.”
I received the Zodiac Maxi Dress (shown above), and love it. It is striking to look at and incredibly comfortable to wear. The Dress is perfect to wear on the beach, or out in town with the girls. It is available in sizes S, M, L and priced at £45, available from http://www.Freyaswimwear.com.
You should also check out www.theholyfit.com which is Freya’s viral campaign about bra fitting awareness, definitely worth taking a look at!
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.
Check out the other fantastic gift choices on offer at http://www.photobox.co.uk/shop/fathers-day-gifts, a fantastic online photo service, I beg you!
OK… so the sun hasn’t currently got his hat on… but I’m told by a reliable source that he will have soon! Whether you believe that or not, no summer kitchen should be without Giles & Posner’s latest retro slush machine. Close your eyes, go back to the 80’s and remember those delicious brain freezing Slush Puppies… now you’re exactly where I am at with my slush machine sample… love it!
I’ve been experimenting with all manner of ingredients (and having lots of fun in the process too). My son loves the Ribena cocktail… however gone bedtime it’s time to start cracking out those delicious cocktails. Hic!
