Christmas Gift Guide: For The Home

For my first gift guide for Christmas 2014 we have some items for the home which I feel 

would make some great presents for loved ones this Christmas. 

There are accessories that are suitable for all over the home.

Starting off I recommend the lovely Heat-Holders Snuggle Blanket. 

You may have read my little review here. 

This blanket is perfect for keeping warm on cold nights. 

I've been using mine whilst snuggling up on the sofa.

For the candle lovers we have AromaWorks Yin Candle.

This candle comes in  3 sizes small, medium and large. 

The candle combines the beautifully relaxing top notes of exotically floral Ylang Ylang and fruity May Chang with heart notes of Geranium, which all bring a sense of calm. The wonderfully rich, woody scents of Patchouli and Sandalwood balance out this blend giving it a sumptuous, warm, spicy base.

The candle can be used on its own or with the Yang candle that you can also purchase. 

If you know a hot chocolate lover than they are sure to love this engraved glass hot chocolate mug from Getting Personal. 

I love having hot chocolate as a daily treat for myself and what's better than serving my delicious treat in a glass mug just like from my favorite coffee shop. 

You can personalize the mug with name of the recipients which appears above a stylish design of a steaming mug and "Hot Chocolate" written in old school font. 

The mug can be personalized with the name of your choice up to 12 characters you 

can even see a preview of how the design will look like on the website. 

Another great thing is that the mug is dishwasher safe and reinforced so you wont burn yourself.

£14.99

If you love cooking and baking and want to keep your must have recipes close by than this handy book is ideal!

The My Family Cookbook is blank and ready so that you can fill it with your own scribbles, photo's, methods and grocery list.

This book is a fab way to pass down your favorite recipes generation to generation. 

This beautiful hardback red book with a simple pie design on the front slots nicely into the white sleeve so that you can protect it from spillages. 

£19.99 

Next up we have the OXO Goodgrips 3 piece trivet set.

This set the ideal solution for versatility while serving small and large dishes.

The 3 trivets come apart to be used as separate trivets or to be used side by side to accommodate large dishes or pans. The 3 rings snap together to for use of a single pot and for easy storage. 

The Trivets are heat safe up to 315°C/600°F.

 £12 (As seen in Lakeland) 

Last of all if you love a good steak than you will love this Steak Stone and Plate Set 

from Black Rock Grill. 

The steak on a stone set creates mouthwatering food for use at home, dinner parties or as a gift, which

can be used indoors or out. 

Simply heat the rock in the oven or on hob, choose a selection of tasty accompaniments and present your choice of meat, fish or vegetables on your rock to create a fab meal! 

The Porcelain Rock Set can be heated till they are sizzling hot or can be chilled till they are freezing cold and serve any desert on them.

£48.50

With heating prices soaring snuggle up with Heat- Holders Snuggle Blanket and keep warm.

Baby Haul #3

I love showing you our baby hauls we have got more items this week and 

Stuart is planning on ordering some bits from Amazon for our little one at the weekend. 

So this week we have brought: 

Boots Baby Safety Kit, £12.99

We chose this kit so that once we have it all sorted we know 

what extras we will need to buy. 

I know we will need a lock for the washing machine, oven and dishwasher

as well as cord safety locks as all rooms in our home have blinds minus the bathroom and kitchen.

We also got this gorgeous outfit set in Boots which I forgot to mention in my last haul. 

It has a sleep suit, vest and bib for £10. 

We chose to get it in 0-3 months and near enough have all neutral bits we need in that size now. 

The bib says "Just Perfect". 

As mentioned in my last haul I ordered a wet bag 

as I am planning use cloth nappies. 

We went for this lovely bright giraffe, duck, elephant and frog design. 

I love it! It has two pockets so that you can keep clean and soiled nappies

separate. I paid £2.99 with 99p shipping from Amazon. 

We went to Milton Keynes shopping at the weekend just gone as Stuart needed to get some new shirts for work. 

So I asked him if we could go to the MKOne  park and pop into Primark. 

I managed to get a few bits for me ready for my hospital bag but also got this 

lovely fleece blanket for £4.

I also managed to persuade Stuart to let us look in Asda since its not too far away from Primark

and as I know they have their baby and toddler event on still we picked up some lovely bits.

The Tommee Tippee Closer to nature soothers which are suitable 0-6 months was on our list

of things to buy. I have a pack already that came with a set I brought we chose to get another lot

since soothers easily go missing. 

We spotted these 10 pack of bibs for £3 they had them in just plain white or with a bit 

of color and Stuart thought it be nice to have ones with a bit of color. 

We saw this Winnie the Pooh sleeping bag and fell in love. 

We have found that sleeping bags tend to cost quiet a bit of money but at £13 

this one was one we couldn't pass up on. 

I think if we buy any more we will try ebay in the future as most I seem to have found cost brand new £20 +.

Last of all we got this little pack of 3 sleep suits for £7.

We chose to get the newborn size. 

We love how one of the sleep suits says "Little and Cute". 

What do you think of my recent haul?
