Cuisine & Culture the Chinese Family Way
Many of you will have noticed that I often blog about jigsaw puzzles as it is one of my favourite hobbies. I find piecing together a puzzle is so satisfying and provides a great sense of achievement! Besides that, it is a great work out for the brain and can be beneficial for improving problem-solving, motor skills and eye coordination for all ages.
Recently, I was put in touch with the lovely lady from Malcolm & Gerald (M&G). They have recently launched their online kid’s personalised clothing boutique. It was named after Malcolm the monkey and Gerald the giraffe, the beloved companions of Alex (aged 6) and Charlie (aged 2). They (the boys not the toys!) were the inspiration for the M&G clothing line. Their boys liked nothing more than clothes and accessories with their names on. Everyone who saw their boys wearing the M&G designs seemed to love them too. That is why they started the line to design more outfits for children that incorporate their names.
I ordered the clothing and they arrived very quickly. When I opened it up, they were packaged in a nicely wrapped cardboard tube with their logo printed on the tub. I love the idea of clothing coming in a tube as it gift-ready and saves you from wrapping it!
This Christmas, why not get something that is personalised and useful as a gift to make an enduring memory to your loved one. Perhaps, an iPhone stand, a chopping board or maybe a wine rack made from oak. The Oak and Rope company has kindly personalised the Oak Phone Stand with my first initial E on the stand. On the top is the power symbol which can be left blank if you wish too. The gap for the phone rest is about 2 cm by 2 cm and the whole unit is 9.8 cm by 9.8 cm by 4.2 cm. This phone stand is suitable for iPhones as the charger lead integrates neatly underneath, but can of course house any modern phone. I used it for my own Samsung phone which sits very nicely and I can plug in the charger. It can also used to stand other devices or books etc. Of course, if the item is too heavy, it will tip over. This is a very affordable personalised gift that your family and friends will appreciate.
