Spotted! The Teapot!
I have been searching for some time for the perfect teapot. Made of china, not too kitsch, not too twee, but not too funky either. A teapot’s just not a teapot unless you can imagine your Granny using it, is it? But look at this Pot Of Lovely from The Contemporary Home. Gorgeous, no? And it’s called ‘Blazing Flowers’ too.

New research from the UK’s leading discount website has revealed that father’s day gift searches were less than half of those made for mother’s day presents. The site statistics, from www.MyVoucherCodes.co.uk, revealed that searches made for mother’s day gifts on site were 109% higher than the number of searches made for father’s day gifts in the weeks leading up to the event.
