How many times have you gone Christmas shopping and tried to look for an interesting and unique gift for your dad, uncle or granddad and the best that you’ve been able to come up
No one wants SOCKS for Christmas 
with a pair of Simpsons socks?
When I was a kid my mum used to take us Christmas shopping in mid November. Her main reason for this was that she did not want to brave the Christmas rush when Decemeber came. Now I’m older and wiser I understand why. People go crazy. I’m one of these people who start mid November too, at least the planning of the presents anyway. I usually know what I want to get people, nowadays however I do the majority of my Christmas gift shopping online; just because it’s easier. With online shopping there is a lot more choice I think at Christmas because I feel you can think outside the box. For example I know some people who instead of buying the standard Christmas Gift of festive candles and scented gift packs (Boots and other places sell those perfume sets – I actually love those) they bought their boyfriend a ‘track day’ with Ferrari. That is certainly better than a pair of socks, but for a gift like that you really need to have the budget to be able to buy them.
I think before you start your Christmas present shopping you need to do a few things:
1) Decide who you are buying gifts for. For me it would be my close family (so we’re talking my mum, dad, sister, grandparents x2, my cousin with whom I spend large amounts of time, my aunt and uncle who spends every Christmas with us and boyfriend) and friends (for my it would be my two best friends – guy and girl). As you can see from my list I have 11 people to buy for. Now I know that I can move onto the next point….
2) Sharing the present burden. Me and my sister have a habit of sharing the Christmas present buying. She’ll buy for my dad and I’ll buy for my mum and both of us will go halves on the presents for our grandparents etc. At Christmas your purse strings are probably stretched to the max so having someone to help you out with the Christmas shopping is a real life saver!
3) Now you know who you are buying for, who you are sharing the gift buying with – you can decide on your budget. My BIGGEST and possibly the most vital piece of information that I can give you is this; decide on a budget and stick to it. You know how much you earn, you know how much you can afford. The amount of people I know who put all their Christmas expenses on their credit card and are then paying for it for the whole of the next year. DON’T DO THIS. A realistic budget will help you buy great gifts rather than good gifts because you’ll take the time and effort to research the kind of gift you want to get someone.
4) DON’T LEAVE IT TILL THE LAST MINUTE. Alot of shops hike the prices up on gifts just before Christmas, when you go back in the January sales and you see the new price of something you’ll be horrified at how much you paid during the festive period.
So those are the most important things to remember before you start your Christmas shopping. Once you’re ready to start and you want to start thinking outside the box so you don’t end up buying ’socks’ (or something similar)…. so here are a couple of suggestions that you might want to consider before you start:
1) Engraved Champagne Flutes – I write about these alot in my posts. I know I do. But there is good reason for this. Recent trends in our own sales show that people love them, they are a unique gift that is perfect for celebration. Alot of people by engraved champagne flutes as wedding gifts, but I think that they although they make great wedding presents they also are fantastic for Christmas. What could be better than getting a set of personalised champagne flutes on Christmas day, especially if you are in a couple. Christmas is a time for celebration, you could wake up on Christmas morning, open your presents and toast in Christmas in your brand new personalised champagne flutes! Celebrate this happy day in style! So yes, I am an advocate of personalised champagne flutes, for a number of reasons – not only are they great for celebration (everyone loves to toast with champagne) but the personalisation makes them even more appealing. Personalised messages give that thoughtful and sentimental touch to any gift.
2) Personalised Champagne – so if you are buying someone a set of champagne flutes then you should really buy them a bottle of personalised champagne to go with it. Just like champagne flutes, personalised champagne has that wow factor. It is a classy gift that is perfect for Christmas. As I mentioned earlier people love to toast Christmas in and what could be better than doing it with a bottle that was given as a Christmas present? Again it’s a simple yet thoughtful gift, and it certainly isn’t a pair of socks.
3) If you are looking for gift for your dad, granddad or uncles (socks is usually the norm), then why not think about the following as a great gift for Christmas? – the following being a pair of engraved cufflinks. Every man wheres cufflinks at some point in their life. So whether they use them at New Years Party or 10 years down the line, a set of engraved cufflinks will last a life time! Personalised lighters, engraved whisky and vodka are also great Christmas Gifts too.
BE ORIGINAL.

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH! I got up this morning and remembered that tomorrow is my granddad’s 70th birthday. Yes, he is a pretty young grandpa… but still it’s his 70th birthday and I have no clue what birthday gift to get him. I thought I’d come into work this morning and see what was available and hopefully that would sort me out! And to be honest the perks of working for a gift company is that you are never short of ideas when it comes to buying any gift – whether it’s a birthday present, wedding gift or a ‘just because’ gift! Anyway back to the point.
It’s his 70th birthday so I need to get him something that is special, marks the landmark and shows him how special he is to me. He doesn’t drink alcohol so that chucks personalised champagne, champagne gifts, champagne gift sets, personalised champagne flutes and all other things alcohol related out the window. So what does that leave me with? Well I know that a champagne gift is a symbol of celebration, but there are loads of other gifts that can have the same sentimental and celebratory value as a bottle of champagne. It really does depend on who you are giving the gift to. My granddad like I said is not a big drinker, in fact he doesn’t drink at all… but he does like to write. He actually is writing his memoirs at the moment to pass onto his grandchildren so that we know what he has done throughout his life. He likes to tell us stories about things that he got up to as a kid and we love to hear them. His memoirs are kind of like a ‘bedtime story’ that he is giving to us so that we have a record of his life. That’s his gift to us….
I came into work this morning not having a clue of what to get my granddad for his 70th Birthday as a birthday gift. However after speaking to the guy that deals with all our products he told me that we have a brand new range of engraved pens coming in – how fantastic!!! So I had a look at these engraved pens and some of them are really gorgeous. Sometimes when you least expect it, the perfect gift comes along and surprises you I’ve decided to get him one of the pen sets and get it engraved too. A special message between granddaughter and granddad. I hope he likes it To be honest even if he didn’t he wouldn’t tell me. My granddad is all about the sentiment… if you take the time to buy and gift and try your hardest to convey to the reciever what they mean to you, then he thinks you can’t do anymore then that, that’s why whenever he recieves a gift, even if he doesn’t like it – he’ll make you feel like he does!
Have a look at our range of engraved pens and maybe you’ll find the perfect gift for a writer friend of yours!

I realise that alot of the posts that I have written over the past few weeks have been about weddings, but alot of the reason for that is that I know alot of people who are getting married this year. So if I know alot of people who are getting married then I am almost certain that so do you as well. I just thought you might like some tips on all things wedding related. Don’t worry Christmas is coming soon and I certainly have alot to write about that particular theme. I’m excited already!!
I’ve spoken alot about the different traditions that people have when they plan a wedding, but I don’t think I’ve looked at it from the perspective of a western wedding.
North America has many cultures and many different wedding traditions influenced by countries all over the world. Mexican wedding traditions, for example, have been influenced by Spain and France, and by their own ancient cultural traditions stretching back to the Aztecs. Wedding traditions in the United States have been influenced by virtually every country at some point or other, making for a rich and varied combination of traditions. Canadian traditions are strongly influenced by both the English and the French.
Mexico
In Mexico, it is usual for a white ribbon or a rosary, called a lasso, to be draped around the necks of the bride and groom during the vows. This is to symbolize the joining together of the couple. Another tradition is for the groom to give his bride thirteen gold coins during the ceremony, symbolizing his commitment to support his new wife financially. As the bride and groom leave the church, red beads are thrown at them for good luck. And at Mexican wedding receptions, the guests form a heart-shaped circle around the bride and groom as they have their first dance as husband and wife.
United States of America
One unusual American tradition is for brides to wear white gloves. This comes from Victorian times, when American brides wore white gloves as symbols of modesty and romance. Even today, many American brides wear white gloves as a romantic gesture. In the United States today, it is very common for the bride and groom to write their own wedding vows, making promises and commitments that are individual and personal to them as a couple. Today’s wedding ceremony in the United States is often very grand and elaborate, especially among the well off, but small ‘backyard’ weddings are also common. If the climate allows, many wedding ceremonies are held outdoors.
Wedding ceremonies in North America traditionally conclude with the bride and groom exchanging wedding rings, and then, of course, with the traditional wedding kiss, which seals their union in front of their friends and family. As the newly married couple leave the wedding ceremony, rice is thrown at the couple as a symbol of fertility.
North American Wedding Gifts
Wedding gifts are traditionally given to help the new couple set up home together. They can range from the practical to the highly decorative. For more affluent weddings, personalised gifts of champagne, crystal and silver are ever popular. Those in poorer areas often make the bride and groom a personalised present symbolising their friendship.
Personalised gifts are a great way to show the happy couple what you want for their lives together. If you gave them a personalised photo gift. For example a personalised photo frame with a photo of the two of them in it and a message that you have had engraved into the frame then that is a very sentimental gift. Not only are you giving them something that they can display in their home. But the engraving shows that you want their marriage to last… that is the sentiment anyway.

Choosing the right wedding music is a difficult task – not least because there are so many pieces to choose from! With our help, however, you will soon navigate your way through the wedding music mine-field…
On Arrival/Signing Of Register
Whether you are having a church or a civil ceremony it is important to have music playing in the background as the guests arrive at the wedding venue, and during the signing of the register. Otherwise these times can be too quiet or a little awkward. At church, the bride and groom often opt for the traditional organ music, but if this doesn’t suit you could engage the services of a vocalist, a harpist or a string quartet to provide background music. Any of these alternatives are great for a civil ceremony too – you may also be able to simply give the organisers at the venue a CD of chosen music to be played to your guests.
Popular music choices for the arrival of the guests and signing of the register include:
Ave Maria by F Schubert
Laudate Dominum by WA Mozart
Jesu, joy of man’s desiring by JS Bach
Ave verum corpus by WA Mozart
Cantique de Jean Racine by G Fauré
Dome épais by L Delibes
Champagne Greeting
As well as musical entertainment, it’s a good idea to have some wedding champagne on tap to greet the guests as they arrive. Personalised wedding champagne is a great way to make your wedding special – this can also be used for the toasts. As an extra-special touch, why not buy some engraved personalised toasting glasses for the bride and groom?
The Arrival Of The Bride
The big moment for the choice of wedding music is, of course, the arrival of the bride. You will want to choose a piece of wedding music that is appropriate to the wedding venue – walking down the aisle of a church has a different ‘vibe’ to walking down the much shorter aisle at a civil venue. Popular choices include:
The Prince of Denmark’s March by J Clarke
Wedding March from ‘Lohengrin’ by R Wagner
If ye love me by T Tallis
Gloria in excelsis Deo by A Vivaldi
Eternal source of light divine by GF Handel
Trumpet Tune in D by H Purcell
The Personal Touch
Remember that this is your wedding, and the music needs to mean something to you. It is a nice idea to choose a favourite song that is meaningful to the bride and groom which can be played after the ceremony – a lighter touch to signal the end of the ‘formal’ part of the day.
If you want to add that personal touch to your wedding then along side the music you could also decorate the reception tables with a bottles of personalised champagne that has been designed specifically for the wedding. It’s a simple idea, but it is the finishing touches that make a wedding wonderful and personalised champagne will probably add that extra special touch to every table! Rather than drinking standard champagne when they toast the happy couple they will be drinking your special personalised champagne.

Birthday Gift Ideas For Your Mum
If you are looking for a special birthday gift for your mum, you’ve come to the right place. Whatever your mum’s age, whatever her likes and dislikes, there are some great ideas for her right here. Follow our guide to the best birthday gift ideas around…
Champagne
For a luxury idea birthday gift for your mum, you can’t do better than personalised Champagne. Personalised Champagne is the ultimate luxury present, and comes in many forms – gift sets, with engraved flutes, engraved bottles and special birthday accessory packs. Champagne bottles say ‘Happy Birthday’ loud and clear! Why not buy engraved flutes to go with the Champagne? You could mark the engraved flutes with the date of your mum’s birthday or a special message from you. A personalised Champagne gift will make your mum feel so special – great for all ages.
Wine
If you don’t have the budget for champagne but still want to get your mum a bottle of tipple then why not consider a bottle of personalised wine? They can be engraved with a personalised message or you can design your own wine label – why not use a picture of you and your mum and design the label around that? Personalised wine will still have the same WOW factor as a bottle of personalised champagne but it wont break the bank!
Wine is more of a classic and underestimated drink in comparison to champagne which flaunts luxury and celebration in your face. Isn’t your mum a classic… one of a kind, someone who gets better with age. I’d say my mum is that’s why if I was giving her a gift then I would most certainly be considering a bottle of personalised wine for her birthday, probably an engraved wine gift, rather than labelled. Just because engraving is a little bit more permanent than a label. Just like my feelings for my mum.
Treasured memories
Personalised photo frames are another great birthday gift for mum. You could print out a favourite photo for the personalised photo frame to make the gift even more memorable. A favourite photo of her grandchildren – or of yourself, of course – will bring a smile to her face. This gift is great for all ages.
Engraved pen gifts
As a constant reminder of your love for your special mum, why not buy her an engraved pen? Engraved pens are a classic gift, and are great for all ages. Whenever your mum reaches for your engraved pen she will be thinking of you. You can add a message of your choice to your engraved pen – or keep it simple, it’s up to you.
But like I said earlier (even though it’s always good to give alternatives…) I would give my mum an engraved wine gift, I know it’s the kind of gift that she would love!

Bride and Her Wedding Dress
When people are invited to a wedding the thing they think about most (before the happy couple and the wedding gifts that they will have to buy) is the wedding dress that the bride will be wearing … who cares about engraved champagne gifts when the bride might be wearing black instead of the traditional white (I stress, that this is highly unlikely!).
Although most people think white is the traditional colour of wedding dresses – to symbolise virginal qualities – this hasn’t always been so. Queen Victoria is credited with setting the trend for white wedding dresses in motion, but for hundreds of years wedding dresses were a colourful affair, as this poem shows:
“Married in white, you will have chosen all right. Married in grey , you will go far away. Married in black, you will wish yourself back. Married in red, you’ll wish yourself dead. Married in blue, you will always be true. Married in pearl, you’ll live in a whirl. Married in green, ashamed to be seen, Married in yellow, ashamed of the fellow. Married in brown, you’ll live out of town. Married in pink, your spirits will sink.”
By the late eighteenth century, white was firmly established as the most popular colour, but many brides still chose their dresses on more practical grounds. The bride and groom often appeared quite stern on their wedding photos! Some brides, particularly frontier brides, chose dresses that could be worn after the wedding. As wedding dresses usually followed the fashions of the time, they required only a little alteration to be perfect to wear again and again.
By the time of World War I, wedding dress styles reflected the role of women in society. The hems got shorter and brides got rid of tight corsets. Coco Chanel is renowned for her influence on women’s fashions, and it was she who introduced the short wedding dress in the 1920s. The wedding dress was knee length and was worn with a long train.
During the Depression, a bride and groom could rarely afford the luxury of new wedding attire, and the bride would make do with her best dress. If a bride did buy a new wedding dress, after the ceremony she would often dye it a more practical colour. By World War II, weddings became hurried affairs, with the bride and groom often marrying after an engagement of only a couple of weeks. The wedding dress would usually be a smart suit – practical and stylish. If the bride and groom both happened to be in the armed forces, they would marry in their uniforms.
After the war, Royal weddings once again began to influence the choices of wedding dress. Grace Kelly’s fairy-tale wedding to Prince Monaco, in a lavish silk and lace gown, inspired many a bride-to-be. Our own Princess Diana may have had an even greater sway over wedding dresses to come, but these days the focus is on individuality, with brides being more likely to choose from an overwhelming number of styles and designs. Personalised wedding gifts are also popular today, with the art of celebration as important as ever.
If you need to find a great gift for the bride why not consider a bottle of personalised champagne? It’s a simple gift, that the bride will love. It’ll also be great while she is getting ready with all her bridesmaids! – engraved rose champagne would probably be perfect.
Take a look at our range of wedding gifts to see if you can find something that the bride will love

The Perfect Bridegroom Speech
The groom speech is a chance for him to express his love and admiration for his new wife. This will be the first time he has talked about her as her husband, and can be a very emotional task for many a groom. If you are the groom-to-be, and are uncomfortable with the whole idea of speeches, read on for our easy guide to the perfect bridegroom speech…
Tip #1 – Write the speech as early as you can
This may seem like a no-brainer, but it is surprising how many times the groom is still struggling to jot down his speech ideas just before – or worse, just after – the wedding ceremony! Start thinking of ideas as early as you can. If you start early enough you’re sure to have more than you need.
Tip #2 – Get the balance right
The perfect groom speech is a combination of warmth, humour and sensitivity. Yes, you want to entertain the wedding guests, but you also need to show respect for your new wife, and for your family and friends. Safe themes for the perfect groom speech include: how you and your new wife met, your regard for her family, and the qualities you admire in her. Try to pace your speech – speak slowly and try not to rush through it just to get it over with. This is also an emotional time for your new wife – she will be watching her new husband with pride and love. Make lots of eye-contact if possible.
Tip #3 – Don’t neglect your duties
The groom speech is traditionally expected to contain certain elements, such as thanks to the bridesmaids and the best man and ushers. You may choose to use this speech to give gifts to the bridesmaids, best man and ushers; build this moment in so you don’t forget.
Tip #4 – Practice, practice, practice
If you want to give the perfect groom speech you can’t practice too much. Nerves may be a problem on the day, but if you have given yourself enough time to practice your speech beforehand, you will feel more confident and give a better performance.
Tip #5 – Great Bride Gifts
Don’t forget to buy your new wife a fantastic personalised wedding gift as a way to say thank you for marrying you! Think about your bride’s likes and dislikes before choosing, so she will know the gift is truly special. Engraved bride gifts are a good choice – why not buy her an engraved compact mirror and tell her it is so she can see how beautiful she is every day? Or give her a set of engraved champagne flutes - they do after all come in a pair…Also remember the home at the end of the day will be the way that your darling wife wants it. So it’s quite probable that a pair of personalised champagne flutes is all you can get away with!

Many Caribbean weddings borrow ideas from the customs and traditions of the United States in their wedding ceremonies. This, combined with the blend of African and European cultures which is found nowhere else in all the world, give Caribbean wedding traditions a unique and exciting flavour.
Dressing Up The Bride And Groom
In Caribbean weddings, it is traditional for the bride and groom to dress in their finest clothes and to walk from the bride or the groom’s house to the church, listening to the sound of the church bells ringing. Typically, everyone from the village will line the streets on the way to the church to watch the bride and groom as they walk by. It is not unusual for people on the street to make comments on the bride and groom’s clothes!
Invited Guests
Traditionally, guests are invited to Caribbean weddings by word-of-mouth, with only a few honoured guests receiving hand-written invitations. However, most Caribbean weddings are fairly informal events, and anyone from the village who turns up at the wedding, invited or uninvited, is welcome to come in and enjoy the festivities.
No Best Man
There is no need for a best man at a Caribbean wedding – the bride’s father, or sometimes both of her parents, will escort the bride down the aisle, and a best man is considered unnecessary. The bride’s face is traditionally hidden by a veil as she walks down the aisle. At the end of the ceremony, the groom lifts the veil and kisses his new wife, while their family and friends cheer their support.
Caribbean Wedding Receptions
A Caribbean wedding reception can easily go on all night long. The music is usually traditional steel-drums, and there will be lots of rum punch and dancing. The food at a Caribbean wedding reception reflects the unique flavour of the Islands. Combinations can include curried goat, spicy chicken jerky, fried plantains and conch fritters . The traditional Caribbean wedding cake is called ‘Black Cake’, with the recipe usually handed down from mother to daughter for generations.
Caribbean Wedding Gifts
It is traditional with Caribbean weddings for the guests to give the bride and groom hand-made gifts. These often include hand-made quilts and furniture. Caribbean weddings have an abundance of alcohol, which is another popular wedding gift, and many, many toasts to the happy couple. A great personalised gift for a Caribbean wedding would be engraved champagne flutes for the bride and groom, this fits the requirement for a personalised hand made gift and also will be great for all that alcohol be consumed!
