  1. If you’ve want to send a plant gift to someone who loves nature, do take a look at Flying Flowers.

    They are based in the beautiful Channel Island of Jersey, and they have a wonderful range of flowers and plants for anyone who wants to send a loved one a gift.

    And one of the things they care about – apart from sending beautiful flowers and plants to people – is bees.  They have a section on their website called The Beehive because they are on a mission to save bees.

    Flying Flowers have a Bee Friendly Bundle you could send

    The Bee Friendly Bundle has a pollinator-attracting lavender (in a ceramic bee pot), a bee house for solitary bees to nest in, and a grow bar that should grow into even more bee friendly blooms!  So lots to help bees with.  

    So they’ve got some guides to inspire you and help you get involved with saving bees in your local area – and to help the bee pollination bloom!

    They’ve got a Bee Identification Guide so that you can identify who is buzzing around your garden,

    Information about why bees matter, and why they are important, they’ve got amazing facts about bees such as how many bees does it take to make a teaspoonful of honey, information about World Bee Day (on 20th May each year) and how to help your local bees.  They also have a useful section on Bee First Aid so that if you see a bee that isn’t looking as buzzy as it should, you’ll know what to do.

    They’ve also got the Top Bee Friendly Cities in the UK – find out about the Manchester Bee -  does your nearest feature on the list? And there’s a playlist with songs which are representative of bees and sounds which will attract bees to the garden.  There’s Best Flowers for Bees, and flowers that bees avoid.  You can find out how to build a wildflower planter to help bees, and a guide to British wildflowers. 

    This is the Caring Campanula

  2. The weather is certainly getting hotter where we are and it's important to keep up your fluid intake.   

    If you're one of those people who don't think you drink enough water and want to do more, this Personalised Hydration Tracker Water Bottle may help you.  

    It's a plastic BPA free bottle with an hourly time tracker on the side - so that you can keep track of how much water you're drinking.  It holds 750ml, and it's got a screw cap. 

    This Personalised Hydration Tracker Water Bottles is available from Find Me a Gift

    Please don't forget your furry friends too!  They need access to fresh, clean water as much as we do.  

  3.  

    One of the joys of having people in your life who have a particular interest is that you can give them a gift connected to that interest.  

    And with golfers, there are lots of different gift ideas, but this one struck me as being fun for the golfer.  It's a Golf Mug - and your golfing loved one can do some practice whilst at their desk!

    The Golf Mug is available from Find Me a Gift
    This golf gift is available from Find Me a Gift for £12.99

    The golf lover in your life can practice putting with this mug which has a specially designed arch at its base.  The inside rim reads "Putt, Chip and Sip".  

    I would imagine this gift set could liven up a lot of dull and lengthy phone calls at work very considerably as you try your putting skills whilst pretending to listen to what's being said on the phone!

    Turn the mug on its handle, and you can chip your ball into it.

  4. This time of year, with Easter coming up, there's lots of chat about Easter eggs - Easter chocolate, Easter bunnies (hop, hop) and Easter goodies.

    So that's you sorted - but what about your dog?

    Whilst we're all tucking in to yummy chocolate, your dog may be looking at you, drooling all over the place, those big eyes gazing up soulfully at you, wondering where his or her chocolate treats are.

    Of course, dogs can't eat the chocolates that us humans eat - it's very dangerous for them.  So the good news is that there are products out there which will give your dog that perfect treat!

    Pooch & Mutt have Eggtra tasty limited edition treats, yum, yum!  They say they are high in protein with delicious lamb and chicken, seasonal veggies, they are grain free, and have natural ingredients.  They are for all breeds and ages from 12 weeks old.  And that's not all - they've included probiotics too, for healthy digestion, and collagen for the skin and coat. 

    These Easter meaty treats are from Pooch and Mutt
