Gifts

Father’s Day will be with us before you know it and it doesn’t do any harm to start looking for gifts early.  Baylis & Harding are a favourite of mine when I’m looking for gifts and this Father’s Day is no exception as they do have a lovely range of gifts for the dad in your life.  My personal favourite from this year’s Father’s Day selection is this fun Camper Van washbag set.  It’s perfect for summer and any warm weather camping trips.

Inside the zip up bag are 4 products from Baylis & Harding’s Sport range with the Citrus Lime & Mint fragrance, perfect to wake dad up in the morning.  The products included are:

• Aftershave balm 50ml
• Shower Gel 50ml
• Hair and Body Wash 50ml
• Face Wash 50ml

I have a set to give away to readers.  Enter via the Gleam Widget below.

Are you still looking around for presents for Mother’s Day?  If so, I’ve got a few last-minute suggestions for you.

New PJs are always such a treat.  I love to have a new pair at Christmas, but a lighter pair for the spring and summer to come seems like perfect timing for Mother’s Day.  I’d not thought of Jockey for anything apart from underwear before, but they do other ranges including a very nice pyjama range.  This short pyjama (available soon) just screams summer and that’s what we want to think about at this time of year.  Perfect if you are planning an Easter break away in the sun.

A little pampering is always welcome, so a foot care set like this one from Baylis & Harding.  The whole point of Mothering Sunday is to put your feet up, if you are a mum, so why not pamper them while you are at it.

I love a nice notebook and there’s something special about writing in them.  I’m loving these notebooks from Fabriano Boutique with their Lokta paper covers.  Lokta is a handmade paper made by the fibrous inner bark of a bush that grows in the Himalayas. The manufacture of paper takes place in Kathmandu city where a small women’s cooperative mix simple technology and ancient skills.  All the covers are silk screen printed and the pages are hand bound using threads.

A new purse is a bit of a treat for me.  My credit card wallet is falling apart and I really need to find something robust to replace it, but I’d like it to be some pleasing to the eye too.  This purse from Hotter has lovely clean lines, but is very practical too.

Travalo lets you carry your favourite fragrance with you wherever you go.  You can pop it in your handbag which is handy if you are out all day at work and want to go out straight afterwards.  You can pack it in hand luggage and take it on a plane which is good news if you are planning a festive getaway.  It makes a lovely stocking filler or small gift if you buy the Classic or the Milano.  The Divine is a more indulgent limited edition piece with a price tag to match. All the models look great though and earn a space in your handbag.

• The Classic is the popular every day model, and is the perfect stocking filler, offered in 10 vibrant colours and available online (and elsewhere) at www.travalo.com with a RRP of £12.50.
• The Milano is elegant and luxurious, offered in a range of eight elegant colours to match any look or style. Available everywhere and online at www.travalo.com with a RRP of £35.
• The Divine is the ultimate in opulence with over 500 individually hand set Swarovski crystals and is presented in a beautiful black gift pouch with a year’s warranty. The silver is available at RRP £250 and the limited edition gold for £400 exclusively from the Roja Dove Haute Parfumerie, Harrods.

The new generation has interchangeable inner bottles which means for the first time in the history of the perfume atomiser you can alternate all your favourite fragrances from one case to another in a matter of seconds without the need for cleaning or waiting for your Travalo to run empty, so you don’t need to wait for your favourite case to become free.
