What to get Someone When They Become New Homeowners

June 24, 2020 by Anne Sweet 2 Comments

Somebody buying their first home is a major life accomplishment and something that should be celebrated. Getting on the property ladder is an amazing feeling and everyone remembers their first proper home warmly, so as a loved one you will always want to mark this special occasion with a housewarming gift and there are lots of good options for special gifts for new homeowners.

Houseplants

It is a classic gift to buy in this situation but this is for good reason. Houseplants can add colour and life to any home and they are proven to have mental health benefits, so these can be a good option especially if the house is looking a little sparse and in need of some decoration early on.

Scented Candle

A nice scented candle is another excellent gift that can quickly help a new home to feel somewhere warm, cosy and welcoming. It can take some time to settle into a new home but a scented candle can make this faster as they can evoke feelings of warmth and calmness as well as improve the fragrance of the house.

Cushions

Following this, cushions are another good gift idea for new homeowners which will make the home cosier and can also improve the aesthetics of the room so they are both practical and decorative. If possible, try to match the cushions to the interior design style that they are going to use or opt for something neutral if you do not know what style they will use.

Cocktail Set

Moving into a new home is a time for celebrating and cocktails are a great way to do this. A classy, sophisticated cocktail set will not only allow the homeowners to create all kinds of tasty cocktails, but they can also improve the visual appeal of the room that they are in because can look elegant and sophisticated too.

Voucher to Nearby Restaurant

Anyone that has moved around a lot knows just how stressful and tiring it can be. Sometimes, this means that you will not have the energy to cook or you may not have all the kitchen items that you need to cook a decent meal. In times like this, popping out to a nearby restaurant is a good option so a voucher to somewhere nearby is a good gift option.

These are just a few options for good gift ideas for new homeowners, all of which will show that you care and be of use to any new homeowner.

Rydale, Hoody and Top review

June 19, 2020 by Anne Sweet 9 Comments

I was asked by Rydale to review some items of clothing from their shop.I decided to let Star choose as she was looking for a new hoody.

Rydale Hoody

Rydale are a British Country Clothing based in the UK. Their designs are all inspired by the rural heart of Yorkshire and are for Men, Women and Children who love anything inspired by the countryside. But you don’t have to live in the countryside to appreciate their style. Who wouldn’t love a blouse decorated with hares or deers.

I asked Star to take a look and she was instantly drawn to the Ladies Hoodies You can’t beat a hoody no matter what time of year, and Star is a big fan. She was tempted by the printed ones but she loves pink, so ended up going for stripes. This hoodie can be bought with or without a zip.

The hoody was amazing, so soft and gentle and so well made. Star said it was the most comfortable hoody she’d ever had. The colours were so lovely too, it’s described as sorbet and vanilla and it looks as good as it sounds. The hoody can also be bought in navy and sorbet, or pacific and vanilla. Something to suit every taste.

We also loved the little details like the ribbed cuffs and hem, the kangaroo style pockets, the shaped hood and the little leatherette Rydale Tab. It’s these details that make the hoody such a lovely garment. I’m sure Star will get loads of use out of it.

Rydale Top

The next item Star was drawn to was the Haxby Hooped Polo Shirt. This 100% cotton shirt was so soft and comfortable to wear. Star chose Aqua but it also comes in navy or white.

Haxby hooped Polo Shirt in Aqua, £24.99 (currently £10 off so £14.99)

We loved the little details like the buttons on the shoulder and the pink ‘giddy up’ embroidered on the back.

Star was extremely happy with her choices and so was I. Now that I’ve found Rydale I’ll be popping back for myself. There is currently a wax jacket that’s less than half price. Nothing wrong with buying a winter coat a few months early when you can grab a bargain like that!

As well as clothing Rydale also sell many other accessories like bottles, bags, umbrellas, belts and so much more. Why don’t you pop over and take a peak. They have a brilliant sale on right now!

Rydale kindly gifted me these items of clothing in return for my honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

February 2, 2020 by Anne Sweet 4 Comments

February 14th

I’d never say no to a gift on Valentines Day, I generally get chocolates or flowers, but rings would be nice. I do love pretty rings, so I thought I’d share a few of my favourite rings for Valentines Day, including Stackable rings. I like stackable rings because you can choose different styles and wear them on the same finger. I’m a fan of stackable bracelets too for the same reason.

Rings for all budgets

You can push the boat out for a perfect ring, or if your budget is limited there are always costume jewellery. You can also choose custom made rings, or something more unusual. I’m going to share with you a collection of some of my favourite rings. Some of them may be affiliate links so if you click you may earn me a little a money. But most of them are not.

Stackable Rings

Sometimes it’s nice to go for simple and elegent like these City Stacker rings in 14k gold for £480

Pandora Stackable rings

Or if you don’t want to fork out for real gold, how about these gold plated rings from Pandora, at £45 each

Valentines Rings

Nothing says love like a red heart. This is the One Heart Ring from Swarovoski. It’s Rhodium plated and costs £49

How cute is this sterling silver personalised entwined ring from Jewlr, just £114.

Something Different?

Not into hearts or diamonds? How about bees? You can always trust Etsy to come up with something a little different. This Sterling silver bee ring would be something I’d be happy to receive. Just £28.09

Or maybe a Princess crown ring available in rose gold or silver and only £20.04. this is also a good stackable ring.

Something for Him.

What about if you want to buy a ring for your man? Well, there are plenty to choose from. Here’s a few of my favourites.

Theis 9ct yellow gold men’s ring with diamond and sapphire is really special. You can get one from Ernest Jones for £450.

But you don’t have to go for gold. What about this unusual black carbon inlay tungston ring? It can be personalised with a message of your choice. Just £79 from Jewlr
