A soft touch at Christmas

Thursday, December 17th, 2009

Christmas Day is so close that we can practically taste the turkey! When the bird comes out of the oven and onto the Christmas table, we usually let Mr Gifts do the carving. Then we steal all of the best roast potatoes whilst he’s not looking. It’s ever so funny, although it’s probably best not to annoy Mr Gifts whilst he’s holding a carving knife.

This year at All Things Gifts we’re going to soften up the hubbie before the festivities commence with a lovely soft toy. Soft toys make wonderful Christmas presents for girls and boys of all ages. If you’re looking for a Christmas gift for her or a Christmas gift for him, look no further. Here are some lovely snuggly toy ideas for you.

All Things Gifts is very pleased and excited to announce the arrival of two supersized NICI collectables. Jack the Winter Husky Dangling Soft Toy and Jill the Winter Husky Dangling Soft Toy (we like to think they are boyfriend and girlfriend – aren’t we soppy) are two huge toys that will melt anybody’s heart this Christmas. Because of their size, they are best positioned sitting upright. Just like Mr Gifts!

Here’s another adorable Christmas present for her: Me To You Bears Tatty Teddy Xmas Slippers, available in sizes 5 to 7. These are gorgeous – ever so soft and Christmassy, with little Santa hats on the little bear heads. We’d get some for Daughter Gifts, but she’s got huge feet – size 15 flippers like her father. Such a shame. Happy shopping!

Tree-mendous Christmas gifts for him and her

Thursday, December 10th, 2009

Here at All Things Gifts, we are practically exploding with excitement. We can actually count on four hands the number of days left until Christmas Day. Yippee! There is officially no time to mess around any more. Have you bought those Christmas presents for her and those Christmas gifts for him yet?

We are feeling particularly festive because we decorated our tree this weekend. Well, I say “we” – Mr Gifts put his back out trying to hang chocolate coins on our tree’s top branches. It was left to muggins here to climb the stepladder and sort out the fairy on top of the Christmas tree while Mr Gifts sat in the armchair moaning and uttering the odd swear word.

This week, we’re going to show you some lovely Christmas tree themed presents that you’ll love using. In fact, they’re so cute that they would make excellent gifts and presents for yourself as well as your loved ones.

Me To You Bears Tatty Teddy Set of Four Christmas Tree Decorations is an adorable addition to any Christmas tree. Look at those little bears dressed up as Santa Claus! This is a super present for Me To You Bears collectors as well as general fans of Christmas trees.

How’s this for modern technology? This fabulous USB Desktop Flashing Colour Changing Christmas Tree allows office workers to add a festive touch to their desk at Christmas. Plug this little tree into the computer and its colour will rotate from red to blue to green.

Christmas gifts for colleagues

Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009

All Things Gifts made the mistake of going to London’s Oxford Street at the weekend. There were more people there than at Obama’s inauguration. It took us one hour to walk down to Tottenham Court Road (which normally takes ten minutes) and the crowds were at their most shovy and pushy. It was awful. We had to have a nap when we got home to recover and Mr Gifts gave us a foot massage.

The lesson is – if you’re looking for Christmas gift ideas and Christmas present ideas for him and her, don’t go to the shops! Stay in the comfort of your own home (and your own pyjamas) and do all of your gift shopping here with us. At All Things Gifts we have present ideas for girls, gift ideas for boys and lots of little treats for yourself as well.

This week we are thinking about Christmas presents for your workmates – you know, like gifts for her that sits next to you and gifts for him that talks very loudly whenever you are on the phone to an important client. If you’re doing a Secret Santa at your work party, or even if you are being nice and festive and generous because it is Christmas, check out these ideas.

Desktop Hetty Hoover Vacuum Cleaner is a cute friend to help clean and tidy one’s desk. Now, All Things Gift’s grandma is called Hetty, and she loves cleaning, so this is most authentic. Also, it is scientifically proven by scientists that the work desk has more germs than a toilet seat, so this is a must-have!

Doctor Who 5 Inch Dalek Thay Action Figure Series 3 is a collectors’ item and desk toy for the sci-fi fan in your life. You could even buy it for someone you don’t like – after all, daleks have a clear message. Exterminate!

Cheers for the Christmas gifts, Santa!

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

How many days is it until Christmas now? We don’t know! At All Things Gifts, we’re too excited about Christmas present ideas and Christmas gift ideas to spend time counting down to the big day! We know you’ve come here to find out about our great Christmas present ideas too, so let’s get our heads and credit cards together and start shopping for the special people in our lives.

It’s so exciting to treat the ones we love! This week is all about gift ideas for boys – that’s little boys and big boys alike. Whether it’s your son, best friend, boyfriend or hubby, All Things Gifts has some super Christmas gift ideas to suit.

Who have you nominated to dress up at Santa Claus this year – dad, grandpa or even someone you’ve bribed in return for mince pies and a cuddle? Whoever it is, they’ll love this thank you present: a gorgeous Nici Plush Soft Santa Claus. It’s also a perfect gift for the Nici soft toy collector or just a great gift idea for anyone who loves soft toys. Nici Santa is so soft – almost as soft as Rudolph’s fur!

We also love this fun Beer Fund Money Box for the big boys in your life. It’s not just practical but it’s funny as well. Each time the recipient (read: big drinker) puts his change in the money box, it rewards him by saying one of five random phrases. The phrases are: cheers, you will be drunk as a skunk, bottoms up, burp and you need more beer tokens. Most accurate!

Christmas lights and present ideas

Thursday, November 19th, 2009

Here at All Things Gifts, we’re continuing our countdown to Christmas and taking you through some wonderful present ideas for girls, gift ideas for boys and indeed Christmas gift ideas in general.

This week, the Christmas lights were switched on in Birmingham. The crowds went crazy! Not because they were so excited by the neon delights, but because the young puppies switching on said lights were urban popsters JLS. All Things Gifts quite understands the appeal, as we’re a sucker for a handsome young man or four. In fact, All Things Gifts would quite like JLS as a Christmas present.

Luckily you don’t have to get squished to enjoy the lights this Christmas. We have a few Christmas present ideas that will bring the light to your home. Popstars not included but they are charming nonetheless. Like this adorable Dalton Pottery Hand Decorated Castware Christmas Pudding Candle Holder, which looks suitably sweet and fruity (don’t eat it though!). This would make a great table centrepiece at any Christmassy party and would make a super little stocking filler or Christmas gift idea in general.

This is a cute present idea for boys: a Light Up / Colour Changing Reindeer Mug. What better way to accompany a warm winter drinkie than with a cheery bright red nose? Rudolph would be very impressed indeed. And here’s an almost matching present idea for girls: a Light Up/Colour Changing Snowman Mug/Cup. Warm the cockles of this snowman’s heart and watch his nose glow! Unlike a real snowman, he won’t melt when you pour hot water all over him. Phew!

Christmas present ideas

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

The weather is freezing, the nights are long and dark, mince pies seem to be taking over our local supermarket and London’s famous Regent Street Christmas lights have been switched on. Yay, it’s officially nearly Christmas! And, most importantly, it’s definitely time to start doing your Christmas present shopping.

Why get shoved and pushed around in the crowds at the shops when you can stay at home and find loads of Christmas gift ideas here on All Things Gifts? Put your feet up, make yourself a hot chocolate and browse our gift ideas for boys and girls of all ages. In fact, start off by treating yourself to a little Christmas something – this gorgeous NICI Jill The Winter Husky mug to hold said hot chocolate! Its cute husky picture will certainly make you feel Christmassy.

We’ll be taking you through some wonderful Christmas present ideas in the next few weeks, whether that’s present ideas for girls or gift ideas for boys. We’ve got stocking fillers aplenty as well as larger gifts for your lucky loved ones. Something that you need to buy first of all is this Me To You Bear ‘Tatty Teddy 3D Tree Advent Calendar’ which is a must for the countdown to Christmas.

Because it’s not filled, you can fill the contents with your own gifts, which gives a really special and personalised touch. Every day, select the correct box, pull it out, remove the contents and then turn the box around. By the time you get to Christmas, a mystery picture is revealed. How exciting!
