PHOTO LIGHT BOX DIY
Glamorous Gifts and Practical Presents
Our loved ones generally fall between two camps when it comes to buying presents – the glamour and luxury-loving divas, and those who think a mark of a good gift is its practical use! So this year, keep everyone happy with some carefully targeted presents!
High glamour
Personalised presents are ideal for those who love seeing their name in lights … so how about a very glamorous bottle of personalised champagne? A superior premiere cuvee blend, the bottle comes in a gift box with your message… just don’t let your star shake it all over the carpet before giving their tearful acceptance speech!
Those who love getting all glammed up will also love a deluxe makeover and photo package! There’s a wide range of different photo experience presents available – some involving hair styling or full makeup classes beforehand (because everyone needs a boost from the pros!) – And there’s even a ‘City Slicker’s’ photo package for those image-conscious lads!
Or perhaps you could celebrate your loved one’s exceptional gorgeous-ness with one of the luxury pampering experience presents on offer – everything from a Rasul Arabian mud treatment to a full day in a luxurious spa, with full use of health and spa facilities and treatments on offer – these are perfectly relaxing presents!
Otherwise, bring the spa experience closer to home with the fantastic pampering bathroom bundle! It includes luxurious cream towels and a selection of gorgeous aromatherapy bathing products, all beautifully presented with a bow, to transform any glamorous diva into a glowing vision of perfection… Just don’t expect to get near the bathroom any time soon!
Those who shine exceptionally brightly will find it appropriate if their festive presents include a ‘Name a Star’ gift box – dedicated to them! The gift is presented in a smart metal gift box which has everything inside needed to prove that the very universe recognises your diva – a personalised certificate with the chosen star’s name, and its co-ordinates! The chosen name will then be registered in the Intergalactic Star Database for posterity!
Perfectly practical
Practical doesn’t need to be boring – in fact, it’s easy to combine useful presents with thoughtful and beautiful gifts that will be treasured! For chilly toes, how about a cute pink heart hot water bottle – those practical types will love the old fashioned comfort of a cosy hot water bottle – true retro chic and very eco-conscious!
Come Spring those practical types will be wanting to zip round the house again, getting busy with DIY and improvements – so how about presents like the fabulous pink toolbox for the ladies! The pink toolbox contains a wealth of useful household tools – hammer, screwdriver, wrench, spirit rules – wrenches etc – basically everything needed for general maintenance tasks! Girl power – all in a robust pink case!
Continuing the home theme, presents such as the brilliantly unusual ’sticklebook’ are ideal – this makes books look as though they’re floating – and will slightly freak out your family! The gadget acts as a steely comb to grip books into place safely – whilst being almost invisible!
Or how about a quirky present such as the unusual Picture Pocket Umbrella? Unlike regular (some might say ‘dull’) umbrellas, this fantastic version comes with 16 pockets to fill with photos, tickets, mementos and general decorative trinkets! The picture pockets are inside the brolly so they won’t get wet – but it will provide a conversation point next time you’re trudging through the rain!
Eco warriors will also love the ‘Protect the Planet’ Gift Box, which presents a selection of useful tools, certificate and personalised pen – all to help you start reducing carbon emissions and make a big difference to the planet! Or for practical foodie presents, why not try the ‘favourite recipes’ notebook, which is decorated with a beautiful linen patterned jacket, hand embroidered and beaded to create a lovely book to store all favourite recipes in…. or perhaps look forward to next summer with a fabulous old-fashioned wicker picnic kit! Beautifully lined in patterned cotton and with all the cutlery and dining kit needed to have a glorious picnic for four, presents like this will really become a much-loved feature of family events for many years to come!
Of course these are just a few ideas from many possible presents – but it goes to show that with a little thought and planning, it’s possible to cater for both glamorous and practical loved ones, and make sure everyone is happy with their wonderful selection of presents!
