I can whole heartedly recommend Montezuma’s chocolate shop after years of experience. They sell some of the most delicious chocolate treats going. In fact these aren’t just chocolates, these are delectable treats from the chocolate god himself.
I love receiving these chocolates - they make great gifts for any occasion, even a simple ‘Thank You’.

Me to You Bears are those adorable tatty looking teddy bears that adorn cards and merchandise. I’m sure you’ve seen them - they’re probably the only grey bears you’ll find with a blue nose and patches.
Despite the soppy factor, they do make lovely presents for weddings, christenings and birthdays.

My Gift Idea of the week is very inventive and a must for all ladies to have.
They are being promoted as a comfy way to wear shoes at the end of a long party night out, but I think these would come in very handy at plenty of other times too. Maybe after a long day shopping or when you have to stand for long periods of time - at a wedding for instance.

My new website of the week is Bizzy Balloons. The name for this online shop says it all - a one stop balloon shop, busy with ideas for presents to suit plenty of occasions.
If you find you are stuck for a gift idea to congratulate somebody on passing their driving test or celebrating your nephews christening, a balloon gift isn’t as silly as it sounds - in fact they are really rather fun!
