Maternal Journal


I have to be honest, with the 'Maternal Journal' I was expecting a pretty average, "aimed at mums" journal with prompts scattered here and there to try and get you writing each day. But I am so excited to say how wrong I was. The Maternal Journal is so much more than that, really something special. It's full of inspiration to encourage you to create your own journal, truely create it. There are a huge number of creative journal exercises for you to try, poetry and gorgeous illustrations created by artists and healthcare workers to encourage you to boost your creativity and really get in touch with your inner self.

love the many different ideas, Giving this journal a go can really change your life! It's amazing! No other journal has ever made me feel this comforted, relaxed, inspired. Maternal Journal helps you get in touch with yourself on a deeper level, as a woman, as a mother. It will help you understand and improve your wellbeing and self care practises. 

Such a wonderful gift idea, the best journal for mums I have ever seen. Hands down.

Looking After You



Looking After You  should be your go to self care book this year. With 100 different, easy to do self care ideas for busy mums who cannot find the time to work on themselves. Each of the 100 ideas can be done in a short amount of time, whenever you can grab a minute - plus, there's one idea for every day of Winter! Make your goal to try each and everyone of them. "Self Care is so important. Your needs are so important, and you need to take good care of yourself. It helps your confidence, self esteem and helps to build a healthy relationship with yourself. Self Care will make you feel better about yourself, and promote positivity in your life. When you are a mum, self care can be trickier. Harder to find the time to do it, knowing you've got a million and one other things to do. But don't forget, you are needed. Your child need you to be there, to be happy, to be strong. They depend on you, and you matter. Taking that time out just for you, is so important. "

Just to clarify - this is my book! Haha.

Lavender & Eucalyptus Bouquet

What mum doesn't love receiving a beautiful bunch of flowers? Do you know what's better than a bunch of fresh flowers, a gorgeous bouquet of dried flowers!

This lovely Lavender and Eucalyptus Bouquet is such a beautiful combination. Dried flowers not only last so much longer, but they do not need water, they are an eco friendly decor idea and gives you the opportunity to display gorgeous flowers without worrying about them drooping or dying. 

I have to say, this bouquet smells amazing. The lavender scent is so strong and I can see the scent lasting a long time. Even the packaging of this gorgeous bouquet is eco friendly!

A beautiful bouquet, a gorgeous piece of home decor!

Carver Smart Digital Photo Frame


I've always loved the idea of digital photo frames! It's a great piece of technology to own, particularly in this digital age when most of us take photos using our phones, only to keep them in our phone albums and never print them off or display them anymore!

The Carver digital photo frame is so so easy to connect and display photos. If you download the app onto your phone, it's as simple as ticking a box and any of your phone photos will instantly be displayed on the frame!

If you are buying for a loved one, perhaps an older relative - this would be such an amazing gift. Set up some photos for them, and then you can easily add more when you have taken them - and the photos will just appear as if by magic into their photo frame, and their house! Love this idea

The quality of the photos are perfect, and the frame itself is chunky and sturdy. Really fab quality product. I love that the settings can all be adjusted, including the order and arrangement of the photos. An amazing gift for anyone

Room Spray & Reed Diffuser


The Just Grapefruit Room Spray is strong (in a good way!) and pleasantly fruity, with an aroma of pink grapefruit, balanced with slight hints or orange and lemon. The room sprays from Arran are  made from natural oils and they come in a beautiful, sturdy glass bottle, wrapped in a tin to keep it safe. The fragrance is really fresh and strong, and it'll easily fill a room. Long lasting and deliciously scented!

The Just Grapefruit Reed Diffuser is just as gorgeous and fruity scented. I love reed diffusers as they help create a pleasant aroma throughout the day - perfect for high traffic areas of your home! Again it's packaged in a lovely glass bottle, inside a tin. I've used many reed diffusers in the past and with many, the scent doesn't last long or simply isn't strong enough, but I think Arran products will be my go to! A beautiful, elegant, strong - but not overpowering scent. Gorgeous product, and a fab gift idea!

Yellow Sunflower Watch

I'm a sucker for a watch. I love them. I really think they add something a little special to any outfit, and it's rare to see people wearing watches as much anymore - so that's makes them all the more beautiful.

This gorgeous Yellow Sunflower Watch from Toff London is really lovely, high quality and the detail is beautiful. The strap of this specific watch is made of rose gold stainless steel, but you could also go for a genuine leather. The watch comes presented in a cute white box, perfect for that really special present. The Yellow Sunflower watch is really comfortable to wear, I've often found watches dig in or lightly pinch your skin, but this is so nice to wear. 

The watch face itself is the perfect size, not too small or large and the sunflower detail is really lovely. 
There are many watch styles available, so not only can you change the style but you can change the colour of the watch case, the strap and the dial - so each watch can be personalised for the recipient.

How To Be A Moonflower

How To Be A Moonflower is the gorgeous new book from Katie Daisy (beautiful name too, right?) celebrating the absolute magic of the night time. Discover and learn about the world after dark, from quotes to meditations, charts mapping out the stars, and guides to plants and nocturnal animals.

Ohhh honestly, it's such a magical book. The illustrations are divine, so detailed and delicate. It's a book that dreams are made of. There are activities to try, interesting facts to learn and again, incredible artwork to swoon over. The ideal gift for self care lovers, night owls, dream weavers, creative folks, art lovers - it's just, amazing.
