The best Christmas present ever
What is your best Christmas present ever? Currys have recently been asking this question and have come up with a list of the top ten greatest gifts of all time. These include the most expensive, which is apparently artwork that Roman Abramovich presented to his then future wife Dasha Zhukova (more than 61 million natch), and the most Romantic (David Beckham and a Bulgari necklace). You can view the complete list of the greatest, most expensive, most unusual, and even the most ridiculous gifts here. But I have to say my most wonderful gift was a Christmas surprise that money just couldn’t buy. My most precious, wonderful Christmas present is…

Vision Direct launch ‘A Pug’s Christmas
It’s been quite a Christmas when it comes to adverts. We’ve had the tear jerking Man in the Moon by John Lewis, the hilarious Calamity Christmas with Judith Kerr’s Mog from Sainsburys, and now, Vision Direct have launched their first ever Christmas campaign, which may well be the cutest and most adorable of them all. And it is all thanks to a gorgeous little pug called Gizmo. ‘A Pug’s Christmas’ is the heartwarming story of a little boy, and his short-sighted pug, the gloriously cute Gizmo.

PNP Santa – Festive fun for all the family
Every child loves a message from Santa, whether this be a personalised letter or a visit to a grotto. Last year I discovered a third way of receiving an amazing letter in the form of a video from Portable North Pole. This is a unique and personal video that can be created for any child, with the gold package, which gives you access to unlimited videos in a range of themes, costing just £9.99. PNP videos are just so much fun, they have been created to a really high specification, looking just like a mini Hollywood movie. Santa is just how you would imagine him to be, and the elves…

Getting festive with Ocean
We have a bit of a tradition in our house. Every year we buy some new decorations and baubles for the tree, something to add to the (already) large collection that will ensure that the house doesn’t look exactly the same year after year. I get the decorations from some of my favourite stores (Paperchase, Debenhams, John Lewis) and then, on the last weekend in November, we decorate the house as a family. It is always a lovely time, Christmas music on , a glass of sherry in hand, and, by the end of the weekend the house looks all festive and pretty and the Christmas mood is fully in…
