  • Gift Ideas for Gamers

    If you’ve been reading my blog for a while you’ll know that I love gaming. Solo games, party games, or even a date night game session with my partner. So it should come as no surprise that there are a few gaming gifts on my Christmas wish list this year. Luckily there are so many gift ideas for gamers out there, especially from independent sellers, so it’s even easier to…

  • Gift Ideas for Exotic Pets (and their owners)

    With Christmas only a week away many people like to include their pets in the festivities, and give them special gifts or treats. Which can be quite easy if you have a fluffy animal like a dog or a cat, as there are plenty of cute gift ideas on the market. However, if you have an exotic or aquatic pet, buying presents for them can get more difficult. If you’ve…

  • Alternative gift ideas for Easter

    With Easter just around the corner it’s time to think about any last minute gift ideas for your family and friends. A chocolate egg has become somewhat traditional over the years, but there are lots of alternative gift ideas for Easter that you can buy.

  • Gift ideas for men (written by men)

    Is it just me or are men sometimes the hardest to buy for? When asked what they want for Christmas, birthdays or fathers day the answer is usually “nothing”, “you don’t have to get me anything” or “I need more socks”. 😅 With that in mind, I’ve asked a few of the men in my life to help with this post (thanks guys!). There is something for everyone on this…

  • Secret Ghoul 2018

    Happy Halloween! 🎃 Tonight I’ll be donning some vampire fangs and getting through as many horror movies as possible. 😉 Until then I’d like to talk about Secret Ghoul, a Halloween themed “Secret Santa” and the brain child of Britt from Alternatively Speaking. I simply love the concept – Halloween is my favourite holiday afterall – and enjoyed picking out gifts for my Secret Ghoul over the past few weeks.…

  • Own a Moment * | Review

    When it comes to buying gifts for people I go for personal or experience gifts. Something the recipient can treasure or something they can make memories with. Last month, I was contacted by the team at Own A Moment who asked if I wanted to review one of their products. Of course I said yes, based on my love of personalised gifts and knowing just who to get one for.…
