I have a new hobby. It’s called Homify.
Have you seen Homify yet? Oh me oh my, you’re in for a serious treat. If you love a bit of interiors design (and let’s face it, who doesn’t?), then Homify is likely to feel like all your Christmases come at once. It’s like someone took the whole contents of Pinterest, mixed them up with all the very best interiors blogs and magazines, scooped out all the inspiring pictures and ideas, then categorised them...
Hunting for a perfect sofa ? Trust me. Do it with Sofa.com
As a 70’s Essex child, the ‘sofa’ is a bit of a weird new world. It’s a settee, innit? And once you had one, you paid no more attention to it until it broke. My Nan had a huge faux-leather mustard coloured one that was older than I was, ridiculously hot and uncomfortable to legs in shorts or skirts and never seemed to age or sink no matter how many dogs and grandchildren passed through her little house. I...
Mug For Life | Father’s Day Gift Ideas
We properly LOVE Mug For Life – and their Tea Lovers Gift Pack is genius. We bought the boxed gift set for the tea-mad 15yr old at Christmas, and it as properly amazing – he drinks a fair few mugs a day, sitting at his desk; which means a fair few mugs-worth of sloshes and drips up the stairs (and a few spills across the keyboard…). But no more! The ONLY mug he’s allowed to take upstairs is his Mug for Life...
Binary Code Geeks Leather Keyring | Father’s Day Gift Ideas
Oh it might be a bit wrong to love this geeks leather keyring quite so much. But telling your dad you love him in BINARY? Genius. The binary code message translates to “love you dad”. All manner of awesomeness. A not-at-all-embarassing key ring in Real Man Leather, a secret coded message, geek-happy binary AND swooshes of love and kisses every time he rummages for his keys. Spotted over on the fabulous Man Gun Bear site,...
Hilarious. Poorly Dog Cone Lamp! | Fathers Day Gift Ideas
I know, it’s silly and ridiculous. But I just LOVE this foolish dog cone lamp! I think it’s brilliant – and I’m pretty sure it’d appeal to any Dad with a certain, quirky take on life. I mean – what’s not to like about a dog with a cone of shame? We all need an element of fun in the practical stuff. Rex (yes, let’s call him Rex. That’s a suitable name for his magnificence) stands...
Free checks on ANY child car seat during Child Safety Week – and 5% off ANY car seat | Halfords discount code
Free car seat checks on ANY car – and 5% Halfords discount code if you need a new child’s car seat. When my hulking great 16yr old was a weeny boy, car seats were a completely different animal. By the time he started school at age 4, he and his friends were all just sitting on a booster cushion, which was usually the toddler car seat with the back removed. Don’t you suck your teeth in horror – we were doing the...
