A Birthday Wishlist For The Woman Who Has Everything

What do you buy the woman who has everything? It's always tricky buying for someone special who has everything they need. You probably have a woman like this in your life, whether it's a mum, sister, daughter or friend.  It can be really difficult to find something. So what about something personalised and unique? This is my birthday wishlist for the woman who has everything. This is an advertorial. 

For the gin lover

For those that love gin, and I am sure we all know at least one or two, then what about this gorgeous personalised gin glass? Measuring 215mm high and 115mm in diameter it can hold a decent amount of gin and tonic for a leisurely drink. The glass has complimentary engraving so it can be personalised with a message of your choice. It also comes in a luxurious black and white box perfect to present your loved one with this gift. 

For your true love

If you want to show someone you love how much you care then there is nothing more beautiful than a heart necklace with her Swarovski birthstone crystal.  The silver heart pendant is angled on the side and is complemented by her crystal birthstone. The pendant measures 15mm by 15mm and you have a choice of chain, either 16 to 18 inches or 20 inches adjustable to 24 inches. Complete with a luxury gift box this pendant makes for a wonderfully thoughtful gift for the woman you love. 

For the perfume lover

If she loves perfume you can have a bottle of her favourite perfume engraved with a message or her name. Calvin Klein Eternity Now, Eau De Parfum for her, 100ml is a  fresh smelling perfume with a youthful fragrance.  Top notes include juicy nectarine, lychee and quince sorbet whilst the heart blooms with a bouquet of peony and peach blossoms. Base notes lead to soft cashmere and precious musk. The bottle measures 145 mm high and 48mm wide. 


For the watch lover


Michael Kors watch

If she is the type of lady that loves a luxury watch then this Michael Kors rose gold-tone watch is perfect. With a contemporary mesh strap, the watch will catch everybody's eye. It has smooth lines and a simple dial with sparkling diamantes that catch the eye. If she already has a leather watch then the rose gold coloured mesh strap is something different she will adore. The watch can be engraved on the back of the case by precision craftsmen with her name or short message. A pretty and useful gift.

For the traveller

If you have a loved one that loves to travel then this travel jewellery box would make a great gift, and it's also budget-friendly. In a pretty blush colour, the box is just the right size to take your jewellery on holiday with you. Inside it has a padded section for your earrings and rings and on the right is a large section for bigger items. It can also be embossed with initials by the company. In faux leather, this jewellery box makes a great gift for the luxury traveller.

Postboxed Letterbox Gift Review And Win A Prize Ends 22/03

On my blog I like to champion small British businesses. Having had a shop myself in the past, I know how important buying local is and supporting cafes, restaurants, shops and other family owned businesses . So today on my blog I want to introduce a small British business based on a genius idea - Postboxed. Postboxed, is a gift service where every gift is small enough to be posted through the post box. 

Sometimes it's frustrating when you come home and you've missed a parcel delivery. Getting that missed parcel slip through the door, for something you have been looking forward to receiving for ages is so annoying. Then you have to rearrange the parcel to be delivered or travel to the sorting office to pick it up. With a delivery from Postboxed you needn't worry. All items are small enough and packaged effectively so that they fit through the letterbox with no problem - and that's a genius idea!

Who are Postboxed?

Postboxed was dreamt up by Markus and Liza, in their tiny living room in London, after spending ages queuing up at the post office for a free pen. Frustrated with the waste of time, Postboxed was born.

Ordering is simple, just pursue the gorgeous gifts, choose a delivery day and you get a gorgeous gift, gift-wrapped and sent through the letterbox with a free gift card too. So let's have a look at some of my favourite designs from Postboxed and read on to find how you can win one too!

Luxury Mother's Day Gift Guide

So you may be thinking it's March, where did February go, and so am I, but there is also an important date in March that we shouldn't forget - Mother's Day!? Mother's Day this here is Monday the 31st of March in the UK.

Here is my luxury Mother's Day gift guide if you are looking for inspiration on what to get to mum that has everything.

The classic gift









We take many more photos than ever these days but many of us don't print them out any more or display them like we use to, instead, we look at them on our phones or computers. Why not print out some family photos and display them in a beautiful photo frame like this one from Silvergroves?

This sterling silver photo frame adds a luxurious touch to any room. With four spaces for photos, it's a useful and practical gift too. Carrs of Sheffield is an excellent brand, well known for its silver items. You are able to have an inscription engraved on the photo frame too, at a very reasonable rate by Silvergroves, making this the perfect personalised luxury gift for Mothers Day. Prices at £161.95 (engraving extra) you are paying for the silver used in the photo frame. If you are on a smaller budget, silver plated photo frames are available from £22.99.

The practical gift


For the mum who has everything and is safety conscious what about a dash cam? The Nextbase dash cam sits on the windscreen comfortably and records on the start of ignition. The recording resolution is 1440p Quad HD providing high-quality footage. It records well at night and in low lighting conditions making it a dash cam that stands head and shoulders above its rivals.
Other features include an anti-glare polarising filter, keeping your footage as clear as possible. Another great feature is the intelligent parking mode which automatically records if a jolt is detected.

We found the dash cam really easy to set up. It has a click and go magnetic GPS mount to make attaching it easy. It's also free from wires too. Once you switch it on, you just charge it and then its plug and play. Can't get easier than that.  The Nextbase 512GW dash cam retails at £149.99 but there are other Nextbase dash cams available from £49.99.

The fashion gift




For the mum who loves fashion and jewellery what about a stunning necklace made of lapis lazuli gemstones? This gorgeous necklace from Mosaico Jewellery is a pretty necklace made with natural unique gemstones. It's a quality item of jewellery, and mum will love the fact that it is adjustable to suit her neckline.

If you like this necklace but think mum would love a different item of jewellery, check out the Mosaico website. The handmade designs are inspired by Brazilian, South African and British influences and the semi-precious gemstones are all modern but classic in designs and ultimately wearable.

Pink Marc De Champagne Truffles - Charbonnel Et Walker £15

For the mum who loves chocolate, buy her a box of Charbonnel et Walker truffles, the height of luxury. Founded in 1875, Charbonnel et Walker is one of Britain’s first and finest chocolatiers. Since the first store in Mayfair, they have become known for the quality of their chocolates and the amazing flavour.

Made with white and milk chocolate, a hint of strawberry and champagne, these pink Marc De Champagne truffles are rich, decadent and out of this world. The box looks pretty as a picture too. If champagne truffles are not to her taste, I can highly recommend the strawberry truffles and the sea salt caramel truffles are also delicious too.

The entertainment gift



A Star Is Born is a love story between Jack and Ally played by Bradley Cooper and Lady GaGa.  Jack is a country music star at the peak of his career who find Ally singing in a bar. The chemistry is instant as soon as he hears her sing, but Jack is on a mission to self destruct and as Ally becomes famous his star starts to wane.

A Star Is Born has been remade a number of times and I always remember Barbara Streisand and Kris Kristofferson in the 1976 version, and the son Evergreen from the film. This remake for the modern age is brilliant. Lady GaGa is an excellent actress and Bradley Cooper was made to play an alcoholic struggling with his demons. The music is fantastic too with Shallow the main song winning the Oscar for Best Original Song. To make it an extra special Mother's Day gift for mum, buy her chocolates,  prosecco and a box of tissues, she will need it for this weepy!

So here is my luxury Mother's Day gift guide. What are you buying your mum this Mother's Day?
