Creating a comfy festive bedroom
[affilinet_performance_ad size=468×60] At this time of year, as the days are cold and we are heading towards the shortest day of the year, a cosy, comfortable, festive bedroom sounds like the perfect sanctuary. A bedroom should always be a refuge from the outside world – a boudoir as well as just a place to sleep, but on those coldest of Wintry nights it also becomes the place we can’t wait to get back to, cuddled up with our loved ones because baby, it really is cold outside. This year there are just so many lovely touches that can be used to add a few festive touches to our bedrooms, but,…

Give a gift of Penguin Random House Children’s Books
When it comes to giving a gift at Christmas, a wonderful book is a gift that can last a lifetime, both in its hardback form, but also as a memory that can linger in the mind long after you have physically grown out of the story.

Gift Ideas for the (hairy) men in your life
If there has been trend in men’s fashion over the past couple of years, it has definitely been related to the emergence of beards as a real fashion statement. Once beloved of folk singers and geography teachers, it now seems that every hot man and hipster has a beard of some variety, whether it be short and clipped, longer and sculpted, or just a slightly scruffy and disheveled stubble. You only had to look at Summer’s Euro football tournament to see that beards are the fashion statement a man can make, with the utterly gorgeous, perfect Olivier Giroud of France leading the way in the hot beard stakes. But if…
