Have you ever gone through airport security to be told that your perfume or aftershave bottle does not meet the latest strict regulations for taking liquids on board the aircraft?

Travalo is an ideal gift solution.  It  is a pocket sized refillable travel perfume atomizer spray bottle, easily filled in just seconds with your favourite fragrance using a quick, simple pump action. Made from extremely durable and light aluminium, Travalo will withstand numerous drops and bumps without any risk of costly spillages, unlike full sized traditional glass perfume bottles.  It really is easy to fill and you can see at a glance how much perfume you have added, so there is no wastage.

At just 8cm tall, Travalo gives days of use for the average user. At 12 grams, it is also incredibly light. Whether it’s going on a wild clubbing trip to Ibiza, an idyllic romantic break in Italy or an important business trip, Travalo is the ultimate travel accessory and an essential purchase for anyone, and is ideal for that little evening clutch bag or any small pocket. Available in a choice of three colours or as a pack of three

If you have lots of friends and family to stitch cards for, it is not too late.  We have 26 different card designs in stock from the Mouseloft range and these are really quick and easy to stitch.

We also sell the blank cards and envelopes, so if you have a few bits of fabric and threads left from another project, you could stitch more than one of your favourite design.

If you prefer the classic style Winnie the Pooh to the modern, brightly coloured characters, have a look at these new samplers from Anchor.

There is an Anniversary/Wedding Sampler and a Birth Sampler, both featuring Pooh and Piglet.

This is a fantastic new range of cross stitch kits centred around a five year old boy called Charlie and his sister Sally.  Charlie has an ark shaped toy box where he keeps all his toy animals which come to life in his imagination.

The faces of Charlie and Sally are never seen, which adds to the sense of mystery.

There are currently 15 designs to choose from.

This is something a bit different for our website, but it is a great way of keeping your photos together and would make a lovely gift.

I took one home to have a go and found it very simple to follow the instructions.  There is a link to the supplier’s website to download the free software - this was very straightforward.  You then open your photo file and select the photos you wish to use.  Drag them into the page layout you have selected, add text if you wish, load the paper provided into your printer and when you are happy with your choices - click print!  The paper folds easily in half and is then slotted into the album provided.  I now have a lovely album of photographs of a very special anniversary in Venice.

We are currently offering the Photo Book at half price.

We have just added a new range of products by Framecraft. It is just a small selection at the moment, but we will be adding more over the coming weeks.

There are lots of accessories to show off your own cross stitch designs, such as keyrings, rulers, paperweight, handbag mirror and a door finger plate. These would all make great presents and will not take too long to stitch.

There is a set of 6 coasters with butterfly designs, available individually. 12 miniature boxes feature cross stitch zodiac designs, and would make an unusual container for a small jewellery gift.

The range also includes Chart Sets, Christmas cards and a selection of cards for various celebrations, including a wedding card complete with 2 rings.
