Shop Small \u2013 For more unusual gifts this year, American Express Cardmembers could Shop Small at local independent retailers between 7 and 22 December to earn a \u00a35 statement credit when they spend \u00a310, once per merchant, up to \u00a350. Terms apply<\/p>\n<p>2. Make a list and check it twice \u2013 Write down the names of everyone who you need to buy a present for, your gift ideas for each person and where you want to buy the gift. This way you can make your shopping trips as efficient as possible.<\/p>\n<p>3. Cashback Christmas \u2013 Christmas costs can soon add up, so you could consider putting the cost on a card that gives you cashback and rewards for spending. This will allow you to treat yourself later in the year.<\/p>\n<p>4. Secret Santa \u2013 The Christmas list of gifts you need to buy can sometimes seem endless. Why not suggest doing secret Santa between your group of friends instead of buying presents for them all? This way you can take your time to find the perfect gift for one friend.<\/p>\n<p>5. Christmas clashes \u2013 To save time, why not ask your family members what they would like for Christmas this year, this means they will receive a gift that they really want and you won\u2019t have to spend hours looking for something to buy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Health Changes That Will Last A Lifetime.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-614829\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/pkn.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"498\" height=\"602\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There are many diets, fads and supplements that all promise a healthier you. The truth is there are no quick fixes. The only way to make long term changes is by making little steps that become habits. New Year\u2019s resolutions are a good way for you to consider lifestyle changes you wish to make, but the more drastic they are, the more likely you are to fail. Aiming to do seven gym sessions per week may sound like a good idea to lose weight quickly but when you miss a few sessions you are likely to feel demoralised and then give up. Short term goals can create habits which can last a lifetime. If you want real change, then small, achievable little steps make the biggest impact long term.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some little changes that can stay around all year, not just through January. We\u2019ve included calories to show to you the impact you can make.<\/p>\n<p>1. Choose a healthy breakfast on weekdays. If you start the day well, the rest of the day often follows. By choosing a healthy and balanced breakfast you are more likely to resist eating bad at dinner time and avoid afternoon sugar snacks. You can save around 400 calories per meal when choosing a healthier option. Even if your evening meal isn\u2019t the healthiest, you\u2019ve made real strides throughout the day. Once the weekend comes along you can eat whatever you fancy, but as the weeks go by, you\u2019ll be enjoying healthy food more and make better evening and weekend choices. Weekly calorie savings 5 days x 400 Calories = 2,000 Calories per week<\/p>\n<p>2. Have a daily cup of Matcha Tea. According to National Tea Day, Matcha drinkers can burn up to 70 extra calories per day. It\u2019s jam-packed full of antioxidants, and benefits and will help you fight off most winter bugs and viruses. Be careful though, most benefits are void if you use boiling water, so let the water cool a few minutes before pouring.

Developed a pour-through system, with an aim to deliver the best filtration possible with their premium five-stage ion exchange technology, this filter removes virtually all total dissolved solids (TDS), a claim which no other filter can say.<\/p>\n<p>ZeroWater is the only gravity-fed filtration system to match the TDS levels found in purified bottle water. This breakthrough filtration system from ZeroWater is certified by NSF International for the reduction of Lead and other heavy metals such as Chromium 3 &amp; 6 and Mercury. The Good Housekeeping Research Institute have also revealed that ZeroWater removes more total contaminants from water than a regular Brita filter, making it a must have for all homes in the UK.<\/p>\n<p>ZeroWater&#8217;s 12-cup Ready-Pour&#x2122; pitcher is the first in its class that has a sealed lid and reservoir, making it possible to pour water that has already been filtered without spilling water that&#8217;s still filtering. This means the reservoir can now be kept full, adding a full two cups&#8217; capacity to the existing 10-cup design. It also features a one-hand, pull and pour button spout for easy bottle filling.<\/p>\n<p>The 12-cup Ready-Pour&#x2122; uses the patented ZeroWater filtration system, which combines FIVE sophisticated technologies that work together to remove virtually all dissolved solids from your water.

The Ion Exchange stage removes virtually all dissolved solids that may be left over from public water systems or even leached into your water from piping, such as aluminium, lead, zinc, nitrates, and more. Three additional stages are included to remove other impurities and ensure your water receives the appropriate amount of treatment time to deliver a &#8220;000&#8221; reading on the included laboratory-grade Total Dissolved Solids meter.<\/p>\n<p>About ZeroWater<\/p>\n<p>NSF Certified to REDUCE LEAD<br \/>\nRemoves 99.6% of all dissolved solids<br \/>\nPurest tasting drinking water<br \/>\n12 cup capacity = 10 cup pitcher + 2 cups in reserve<br \/>\nImmediate pouring ability<br \/>\nOne-hand &#8220;push to dispense&#8221; spout to fill any bottle or cup<br \/>\nConvenient space-saving design<br \/>\nCertified* to reduce Lead, Chromium, &amp; Mercury<br \/>\nPremium 5-Stage Dual-Ion Exchange filtration system<br \/>\nIon-Exchange system that removes virtually all dissolved solids in your water<br \/>\nThe FDA requires the TDS level in PURIFIED bottled water to reach 000-010ppm.

With a range of toys, blankets and play mats inspired by football, tennis, basketball and golf, the Little Sport Star products provide both physical and mental stimulation to babies from a young age, and focuses on the aspirations of the parents to raise a fit and healthy baby, as well as passing on their love of sports.<\/p>\n<p>The first year of a baby\u2019s life is vital for learning, development and growth. Founder of Little Sport Star, Nick Farnsworth, identified millennial parents were finding it challenging to steer their children away from screens and introduce them to physical, outdoor activities at an early age. Nick championed this with the launch of Little Sport Star in 2012 where he began developing a range of sports-inspired toys to help babies hit their early development milestones.<\/p>\n<p>Little Sport Star not only offer fun and engaging toys, but also provide babies with skills such as confidence and resilience which they will hold on to later in life. One of the most stimulating activities for children is sport; through sport you develop coordination, balance and core strength, something reflected across the Little Sport Star range.<\/p>\n<p>Founder of Little Sport Star, Nick Farnsworth, comments: \u201cSports is an international language and a way of bringing people together, from day one and onwards. And although we can\u2019t predict a little one\u2019s future tastes, it is a decent bet that sports will play a small role at some point in their life. I personally felt that baby toys were too pink, fluffy and one-dimensional.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ideal gifts for birthdays, baby showers and sports fans, and the Little Sport Star range includes:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Baby Tennis Racket (RRP \u00a315.00) <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/gg1-1.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The baby tennis racket is perfect for cuddling with as well as stimulating the baby\u2019s senses with a rattle and squeaker incorporated in the design.<\/p>\n<p>When babies start to develop a little more strength, they can start to swing it and become familiar with the motion of a tennis racket.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Baby Golf Club (RRP \u00a315.00)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/gg2-1.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The first soft golf club for babies, the toy was inspired to help babies develop their hand-eye coordination, enjoy the swinging action of a golf club and associate with bright vibrant colours.<\/p>\n<p>With the additional features of a golf ball attached to the club, a squeaker in the handle and a rattle in the ball, these enhance the overall experience where babies associate noise and colours with the movement of a golf club.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Baby Football Activity Gym and Play Mat (RRP \u00a354.99)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/gg3.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The world\u2019s first football activity gym, the award-winning Baby Football Activity Gym and Play Mat has been designed to develop the baby\u2019s tummy muscles and overall movement.<\/p>\n<p>Featuring a hanging football, two cuddly players, mirrors and cushioned sides to form a football pitch, babies can kick, crawl and touch the sensors around the gym, strengthening their upper body and encouraging them to sit up and explore their surroundings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Baby Football Comfort Blanket (RRP \u00a311.99)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/gg4.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Ideal as a gift to families who are passionate about football, the Baby Football Security Blanket is the perfect comforter for babies with its soft texture and cute character incorporated in the design.

Designed to include teethers to stimulate babies, the toy also makes a cheer when pressed, associating sounds with sports.<\/p>\n<p>A father of two young children himself, Nick says: \u201cWe make it really simple for parents to give their baby the best start in life. Our toys need no explanation; when babies receive our toys, they will probably start cuddling the toy but as they grow older, they will start to interact with them by kicking the ball or swinging the racket. Parents love the idea of seeing their newborn already sharing their love of sport and have already planted the idea that sports is fun.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kords Sunglasses are a new style of sunglasses without arms.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>www.kords.store<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-614794\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/sd.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"615\" height=\"279\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Kords are designed to fit every head shape, size, or situation.
