New Year, new gifts

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

Christmas is all over, done and dusted for another year. We wish we could say the same for our turkey. We’ve got so much left over that we’ve had to start sprinkling it over our muesli every morning just to use it up. I blame Daughter Gifts. She waited until Christmas lunch to announce that she’d become a fruitarian. I threw the cranberry sauce at her and let her get on with it.

Anyway, we exchanged some lovely Christmas presents and Christmas gifts in the morning. Mr Gifts got me this super Me To You Bear Looking for Love figurine. Looking for love indeed, I thought. I once caught him looking at a dating website. Looking for floozies, more like. We’re back on track now though, so I got Mr Gifts a great present for him – this Mini Remote Control Speed Boat Inflatable Challenge.

Mr Gifts played the speed boat game nearly all day, leaving me free to enjoy the Queen’s speech over a mince pie and a bottle of meths… sorry, sherry. I mean sherry.

It’s nearly New Year now, so why not buy a special present for him or gift for her to celebrate the start of 2010? A Me To You Bear always brings delight and cheer – just perfect for a brand new year. Hop along and browse the range – you’re sure to find a present or gift that’s just the ticket.

The gift of time presents itself

There’s no time like the present and there’s no present like the time. That’s what Groucho Marx said, anyway. Do you think anybody got him a clock for his birthday? Mind you, with his charming habit of making quips at every opportunity, do you think he actually had any friends to buy him a birthday present?

Groucho would have loved this weekend – it’s when the clocks go back. There you go, Groucho. There is a present like the time, because we’re all going to get an extra hour in bed. Yippee!

At All Things Gifts we’ve got some cute gifts on offer along the theme of time – just the thing whether you want to celebrate the coming of a new season or bring someone a little happiness on their birthday or special occasion.

Our favourite is this Chococlock Chocolate Clock Timer Gadget. It’s the perfect and adorably daft present for the chocolate addict in your life. Every hour Chococlock delivers a chocolate treat to the tune “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy”. You get 30 seconds to grab it before the toy clock snatches it back! This holds 25-30 pieces of chocolate, which sounds like an average breakfast for All Things Gifts (we like to treat ourselves).

The Me To You Bears Nursery Collection Bone China Wall Clock is sweet for other reasons. Great for a new baby gift or Me To You Bears collector, this clock is just so gorgeous and presents a cute way to tell the time.
