Making a great gift for the home this Christmas 2011 is the new and improved sensor pump. This proves to be a very popular touch-free sensor pump, doubling up as a stunning feature around your sink. It has easy-access volume control buttons on the top, and an innovative, re-engineered valve to make it compatible with a wider range of soaps, sanitizers and lotions.
It couldn’t be easier to use; simply place your hand under the sensor to dispense soap automatically – even the kiddies find it easy to use! I have my Sensor Pump placed in the kitchen and find it very handy for messy hands - especially after touching raw meat!
The Sensor Pump costs (£39.99) and could well be a very good investment for your home. simplehuman also have amazing products such as a sensor recycler, retro pedal bins, pet food bin, wall mount pumps and more, all making great gifts this Christmas time.

I have reviewed ProCook before, and have been astounded at the unbelievable bargain that you can get. They offer incredible discounts on accessories for the kitchen at a fraction of high street prices. Gifts for the home this Christmas could well and truly be completed with ProCook, making your shopping easier and very much so cheaper! Oh, I do like a bargain!
Procook’s graduated red salt pig, could be a simple and practical Christmas gift for many food lovers! It’s very cute and would sit wonderful on any kitchen top.
With a creamy interior and graduated red glaze, this salt pig will grace your kitchen whilst holding a generous quantity of salt at the ready. It is finished with an integral knob on the top making it easy to transport to where needed. On receiving the Salt Pig (which I must say is a fantastic name!), I was pleasantly surprised at the size of it! It is much bigger than I thought it would be, making it easy for ‘chunky’ fingers to grab whatever amount of salt needed. There is also range of oven to tableware and kitchen accessories which all match.
This lovely Salt Pig is available for £6 (saving you an amazing £6 of high street prices) from http://www.procook.co.uk.

Now, from the surfaces, to the floor! Having wooden floors throughout my house, I know how easy and quick dust settles! It really is a big job when cleaning my floors from top or the house to bottom, but I think this handy little duster would get the job done in half the time! This is no ordinary Floor Duster this is Home Valet’s Waxed Flexi-Floor Duster! This is a new dynamic Flexi-Floor Duster which has wax impregnated cotton fibres so the dust sticks to the duster.

I love Oxfam! Not only for the wonderful charity in itself, but the products the offer are stunning and would make great gifts for many. As Christmas is a time for giving, why not visit Oxfam today and do your bit for charity this Christmas 2011. When you buy a gift from Oxfam, you will also be helping those in need.
One range that I just totally adore is that of the Recycled Magazines. These really have the Wow factor and would look fantastic in any room! The Recycled magazine photograph frame (£9.99) brings funky and eco into a whole new meaning. This photo frame is just the thing to house your favourite snaps and family portraits for display. It is cleverly decorated with lots of squares of coiled paper from recycled magazines, and the end effect is honestly stunning! This free standing frame is as interesting as the picture you place inside. To hold special memories, I don’t know of anyone who would like this!
If you want a little something to match, then this recycled magazine large bowl (£14.99) will do wonderfully. As with the photo frame, this large bowl is also just as stunning. I think it’s amazing what can be made from recycled materials, but with magazines is totally outstanding! This useful and practical bowl has been created from coiled recycled magazines. Designed with colourful folded paper in a raised spiral, this bowl will make a fine talking point at home. It is hard wearing and its raised texture is rigid to the touch. Not only is it perfect for serving bread, crisps or fruit, but used as a centrepiece on your coffee table is really gorgeous - it’s too cool to hide away in a cupboard.
With Oxfam, when you buy something, knowing that you’re helping charity as well. You can be happy in knowing that you have done the right thing! For more information on Oxfam, and to see a selection of gifts, please check out http://www.oxfam.org.uk.
What a wonderful and thoughtful gift this would be for your loved ones this Christmas 2011. For those who think they are the finest whisky connoisseur, or for those who like to have the most wonderful tipple available to their guests, then Glenmorangie have the most excellent gift.
Glenmorangie, Scotland’s favourite single malt whisky has created a unique luxury Christmas gift to celebrate and revive the festive tradition of ‘First-Footing’.
‘First-footing’ is practised in households across Scotland and northern England on New Year’s Eve to bring good fortune and prosperity to family and friends for the year ahead. The ‘First-Foot’ refers to the very first person, traditionally a dark-haired male, to cross the threshold of your home after the stroke of midnight on New Year’s Eve, or Hogmanay as it is called in Scotland.
Traditional ‘First-footing’ gifts are whisky and a piece of a coal; the coal symbolises the wish for the receiver’s home to be warm and safe for the coming year and the bottle of whisky is for toasting the future.
‘Lang may yer lum reek’ is the accompanying toast meaning ‘long may your chimney smoke’ to wish prosperity for the coming months.
Glenmorangie is celebrating this tradition by offering a luxurious gift box with symbolic piece of coal alongside Glenmorangie Original, their classic single malt blend – to bring health, wealth and good fortune to malt whisky lovers all over the country for 2012. Personally I live this idea, and think that many of our readers will do too. And who thought that a piece of coal in your stocking was just for the naughty ones! Whoever receives this beautifully presented box will be most delighted.
Glenmorangie Original Whisky is a delicate and deliciously complex single malt. Matured in ex-bourbon casks for ten years, this classic blend has flavours of honeyed sweetness fused with notes of citrus, vanilla and almonds.
Glenmorangie Original and the ‘First-Footing’ Scottish Coal luxury gift box retails for a fantastic £31.49 and is available from Whisky Exchange at Vinopolis, Selfridges London, Vintage House and Fortnum & Mason. For more information visit http://www.glenmorangie.com.
