Father's Day Sunday 21st June!

It never fails to amaze me how Dads love their barbecues! I noticed it particularly today when I mentioned barbecueing to the father of a friend of mine. His eyes lit up as he discussed best barbecue tools and his favourite sauces. As far as I knew, this was a man whose closest acquaintance with the kitchen was boiling a kettle, yet here he was telling me all about his secret recipe for a barbecue marinade.

I have also noticed amongst many friends that being a father gives them the opportunity to relive their childhood by playing with the toys they never had. Remote control toys are a particular favourite, which require Dad to spend a lot of time ‘showing’ little Johnny how to fly his helicopter or drive his car.

Don’t forget Father’s Day is 21st June – and just in case you’re looking for some truly original gifts for your Dad check out our great range. Order by 3pm on Thursday 18th June to guarantee delivery on Friday.

Here's another great idea for a shelf!

The Flybrary

A really handy new way to store hardback books and the clever bit is that it forms a shelf once you've put all the books on. Clever eh?!

Dominoes - You just can't beat the old classics!

Now I am a self-confessed techno freak. I love any new games, gadgets, inventions and what have you that hits the shops. But have you ever noticed the way tastes do a full 360 degree turn every so often? ABBA hit the charts in the 70's and then dissapeared only to hit the charts again every four or five years... Retro is all in again at the moment when it comes to home furnishings, fashion, even Dr Who is back in!

Here is another classic that is making a comeback along with many of the traditional board games - Dominoes.

Isn't it about time you switch off your XBox or Widescreen and spent some time with other humans? Well, this is a good way to start! Try it - I bet you've forgotten how much fun it is.

Valentine's Day is around the corner...

Well, I will be getting in chocs and wine and all the usual stuff, but here's something a bit more original and it'll last well after St. Valentine's Day.

Its the 'I Love You' Egg. It comes as an egg (same size as a standard egg) resting on a bed of straw, in a transparent can. All you do is open the can, add water and follow the instructions. In 5-7 days, a bean sprouts up with the message 'I Love You' on the bean!

Now isn't that a bit different?!
