Sweet hearts from Love Hearts

February 13, 2013

If ever there was a brand destined to fit with Valentine’s Day then surely it’s Love Hearts. These little sweets have been around for ever – I know, they were around when I was little – and the people that make them keep thinking up new ways to share the love.

My favourite from the range is the hamper. It contains non-edible Love Heart photo frames and little candles, as well as the expected confectionery.

I don’t know what the candles smell of – though I like to think they are sweet and sugary with a little bit of a kick. 

There’s also this sweetie tube (usually only seen in shops at Christmas) and this sweet limited edition mini Love Hearts tin. 

 
And finally, a Love Heart fact to chew on:Enough Love Hearts are produced each year (2.75 billion) to go around the world one-and-a-half times. See more at www.lovehearts.com.

Kiss and brush up – Denman for Valentine’s Day

February 12, 2013

With Valentine’s Day just a few sleeps away I thought I would introduce you to a few love-ly gift ideas I’ve come across this year.

First up is this red and black kisses decorated hair brush by Denman. If you have an 11-year-old daughter then I bet you find she’s always brushing her hair – I know because mine is. Dot starts to panic if she doesn’t have one of her dozen or so hairbrushes to hand at all times of the day (I have to cajole her to go in the shower though, which is weird. Perhaps that’s the grubby little kid part still remaining in my pre-teen hair–obsessed darling.)

As soon as this came through the door she commandeered it. By all accounts it’s a very good brush, strong bristles that works through tats (what we call knots up north) with no problem.

I was once the owner of a Denman vent brush that was lightweight and great for keeping in my always overloaded bag. Alas, that has been snaffled also. I see it from time to time, peeking out from Dot’s bag. *Sniff*

This also comes in pink and black; I’ve just looked on the website and at the moment you get a free lip gloss with it. (Don’t tell Dot that.)

I live in the countryside with my dogs and cat, and I love horses, yoga and running (sometimes). Writing is what I do - I've tried other things, but keep coming back to it. And I'm learning to meditate.
