Cotswolds Dry Gin, Cotswolds Wildflower No 1. Gin, Jaisalmer Gin and Pinkster Gin make for fabulous Christmas gifts for the gin-loving friend or relative. Each bottle has its own interesting story and flavour and will surprise and delight any lucky recipient.<\/p>\n
Cotswolds Dry Gin<\/p>\n
Cotswolds Dry Gin is distilled with a blend of nine carefully considered botanicals. The Head Distiller uses over ten times the average amount of botanicals used by most premium gins and because the gin is non-chill filtered, the oils are retained in the gin which causes a pearlescent cloud to appear when ice or tonic is added, creating the unique \u2018Cloudy G&T\u2019. Cotswolds was named Best London Dry Gin in the World Gin Awards 2016 and received the Top Outstanding Award in the International Wine Spirits Competition 2017. Difford\u2019s Guide recently ranked the gin as one of the top 20 gins available, in a survey of 450 brands.<\/p>\n
RRP: \u00a334.95 for 70 cl ABV: 46%
\nAvailable from: Sainsbury\u2019s, Waitrose & Partners, Majestic, Oddbins, Laithwaites, Harvey Nichols, Selfridges and Fortnum & Mason and online www.cotswoldsdistillery.com and www.amazon.co.uk<\/p>\n
Cotswolds No 1 Wildflower Gin<\/p>\n
Launched in April 2020, this new expression is a blend of cornflowers, lavender and orange, layered over classic Cotswolds Dry Gin. Inspired by the wildflowers growing in the \u2018glorious grasslands\u2019 of the Cotswolds, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the Wildflower Gin Collection has been created by marrying premium botanicals with the gin distilling and blending skills of the Cotswolds Distillery team. Refreshingly clean and balanced with a lingering hint of bitter-sweet marmalade.<\/p>\n

BREAST CANCER CHARITY LAUNCHES \u201clittlelifts UNDER SHIRTS\u201d<\/strong> 14 September 2020 \u2013 Littlelifts is observing Breast Cancer Awareness Month this October by marking the mid-way point, No Bra Day, an annual observance on 13 October, where usually women nationally are encouraged to forgo wearing a bra to encourage awareness about breast cancer. However, this year, littlelifts is celebrating No Bra Day by asking women to trade wearing a bra for the day with the men in their lives.<\/p>\n Littlelifts is therefore encouraging women to ask their boyfriend, husband, brother(s), father, friend(s) or cousin(s), to consider wearing a bra under their shirt for the day as a way to show solidarity with women, who have had or are currently enduring breast cancer and the challenges that goes with treatment.<\/p>\n Men can also experience breast cancer too and the charity hopes that the fundraiser will also raise awareness about breast cancer among men, which is an area littlelifts is working towards supporting in the future.<\/p>\n Oa Hackett, littlelifts founder said: \u201cEmpathy is an important quality to embody when supporting women with breast cancer. So we thought, one way to show a little solidarity and understanding with women enduring breast cancer treatment, is to ask men to walk in a woman\u2019s shoes (or rather, brassiere) for the day.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cBreast Cancer is something everyone should take seriously and be checked for, including men. Similar to the recent example set by the wonderful \u2018Postie\u2019s of Fakenham\u2019 who adorned fancy dress during their rounds this summer as a way to fundraise for littlelifts, we hope people find this new fundraiser a light-hearted way to raise funds while drawing attention to breast cancer awareness month in the process.\u201d<\/p>\n Supporting the campaign, Laura Middleton-Hughes (32) from Norwich, was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2014 after finding a lump in her left breast while on a dream holiday to Australia. She underwent a mastectomy, chemotherapy and a shoulder replacement, and today has traces of cancer in her spine, 12 vertebrae and pelvis. Her stage four disease is stable, but incurable. Littlielifts consulted Laura and other beneficiaries who have had breast cancer, when developing the theme of this year\u2019s Breast Cancer Awareness campaign. Laura said:<\/p>\n \u201cEver since I met Oa [founder of littlelifts] through our primary diagnosis, it was clear she had the drive to create something so successful. When she began littlelifts I knew it was something I would want to get involved in. I have volunteered in many different ways for the charity and in 2019 received my own littlelifts box during my chemotherapy treatment. Since being re diagnosed I have become littlelifts\u2019 ambassador, which I am really proud of. Any way I can help raise the profile of littlelifts and make a difference to the lives of those going through chemotherapy for primary or secondary breast cancer is wonderful, and Oa knows I will rarely say no to anything she asks of me.\u201d<\/p>\n One of the men taking part is Glenn Sealey, General Manager from Yare Valley Oils, who kindly supply the chilli oil and lip balm found in the littlelifts boxes. Glenn said: \u201cIt\u2019s an incredible cause and littlelifts is doing so much to help others feel empowered about something that has impacted so many of our lives in so many different ways. I\u2019m happy to be involved and taking part, it should be a giggle for all involved.\u201d<\/p>\n Oa concluded: \u201cFor some women who have undergone a mastectomy, no longer wearing a bra can be a big adjustment, quite an emotional one and we (littlelifts) recognise this. Our intentions for the forthcoming \u2018No Bra Day\u2019 is for men to show solidarity and to ultimately raise funds during this tricky time for many, so we can continue to support and show kindness to women impacted by breast cancer.\u201d<\/p>\n Participants can set up a fundraising page via the littlelifts site: www.littlelifts.org.uk\/get-involved\/fundraise\/ Fundraisers are being asked to capture their experience by taking pictures while tagging @littlelifts_uk on either Instagram, Twitter of Facebook #LittleliftsUnderShirts<\/p>\n Six easy steps to taking part:<\/p>\n Men, it\u2019s important to find a bra that fits comfortably (see below for fitting tips).

The texture is soft and the flavour is light and delicate but with a rich creaminess stemming from the additional cream. There can also be a slight sourness that balances the richness. This Brillat-Savarin Affin\u00e9 Aux Truffe has minced black truffles, grown in the Cote d\u2019Or region of France, added during its production.

Visitor centres and reserves had to close causing income for vital conservation work to drop, and many staff were furloughed. The easing of lockdown led to huge pressure on nature reserves from vandalism, anti-social behaviour and wildfires.<\/p>\n Christmas gifts can be viewed at www.wildlifetrusts.org\/christmas-gifts<\/p>\n Whatever the uncertainty about Christmas this year, what we do know for sure is that it\u2019s going to be a digital one.<\/p>\n And that has its advantages \u2013 no fighting through crowds in busy shopping centres, no rushing to get there before closing time, no staggering with overloaded bags back to the car or on a train.<\/p>\n The internet, with its millions of shopping opportunities at the touch of your fingertips is undoubtedly a great place to shop for Christmas gifts.

The Softeril micro-gasket and anatomical lens shape ensures a comfortable water-tight fit which feels very stable in the eye socket, and the easy adjust head strap and customizable nose piece ensures a perfect personalized fit. RRP \u00a310.99, the CHRONOS is available in a range of lens options including clear, blue, smoke, pink, green and lime to complement indoor and outdoor light conditions.<\/p>\n The Phelps brand is a shared vision between Michael Phelps, the most decorated swimmer of all-time and Aqua Sphere, the swim equipment brand which is widely respected for the technological innovation and integrity of its curved lens goggles.

Businesses globally are facing their toughest challenges yet, and are having to adapt to the current situation. The fashion industry is no exception. Despite world famous fashion brands going out of business, BONCOURA, a denim brand made in Osaka, Japan, continues to keep chasing what they believe and were founded on.<\/p>\n Hisashi Morishima, the legendary founder and designer of BONCOURA, created their new Autumn\/Winter collection during the global pandemic. Fortunately, they completed all processes for the collection including the confirmation of the samples and the exhibition for royal customers and fashion associates before Japan started its COVID-19 state of emergency. However, undoubtedly, BONCOURA experienced some negative effects in the business during the lockdown. For instance, the stores in Japan they dealt with had closed for months, so BONCOURA was unable to deliver the products to them even though the new collections were ready to sell.<\/p>\n Understandably, the amount of orders made for BONCOURA products fell in comparison to this time last year. On the other hand, as a positive aspect, it is a unique point as well as a beneficial one for BONCOURA that they never chase trends and always create only what they want to wear as a big fan of denim. Hisashi believes that it\u2019s one of the reasons why BONCOURA can keep going on with their business even in the current situation.<\/p>\n Hisashi comments: BONCOURA has always cared about sustainable fashion since it was founded in 2011. Focusing on their brand policy which BONCOURA created when the company was founded, the products are timeless and will be the same in years to come. BONCOURA is the epitome of clothing that will never go out of style.<\/p>\n Describing this experience as enhancing his passion for vintage clothing, Hisashi founded BONCOURA on the principle of creating a brand that celebrates the best of vintage style alongside inventive production techniques. In a year, they produce just 3,000 pairs of jeans using a mix of different, carefully chosen raw cottons and natural indigo dye with very old narrow power looms in order to produce the quality BONCOURA products.<\/p>\n In order to make their sustainable spirit consistent, BONCOURA has created their own original detergent for denim, ‘BONCOURA JAB JAB’. Through hundreds of trials and spending several years creating the perfect mix, their detergent is both biodegradable and environmentally friendly. Their refined detergent brings out the original texture of denim by making the best use of the indigo. While suppressing the discolouration of denim, you can firmly remove the dirt and odours as necessary without having to worry. Hisashi Morishiman is well known to recommend that the best way to take care of denim is just to keep wearing it, wash it when it gets dirty, and wear it again.<\/p>\n You can find Boncoura items here.<\/p>\n By downloading Tavour, you get access to the highest rated beer from all-independent brewers around the world.<\/p>\n Choose the beers that excite you, curate your collection and get all your beer shipped right to your door for one flat fee.<\/p>\n CHRISTMAS TREE TRENDS TO WATCH IN 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n With lots of Brits already hitting the shops for Christmas gifts and decorations, finding a way to make this year\u2019s festivities better than the last is always important.<\/p>\n To help those who are wanting to make their Christmas tree a real showstopper, the experts at Christmas Tree World, one of the UK\u2019s top suppliers of premium artificial Christmas trees, have shared their predictions for 2020\u2019s most popular tree trends.<\/p>\n From traditional and elegant festive d\u00e9cor to space-saving evergreen, 2020\u2019s trends show that no matter what your personal style or what interior you\u2019re working with, there are easy yet innovative ways to bring the spirit of Christmas to your home.<\/p>\n Take a look at the experts\u2019 predictions for this year\u2019s most stylish Christmas trees, to make 2020 your most on-trend yuletide yet:<\/p>\n Travelling Trees<\/p>\n It\u2019s no secret that this year has marked the revival of the Great British Staycation and this surge in UK holidays is not only expected to continue into winter, but to affect tree trends too! With more couples and families spending the week leading up to Christmas and Christmas Day itself away from home, compact pop-up trees are set to be a must-have for many this year. Forget the times when only tiny and unimpressive trees could be easily transported, there are now plenty of large, high-quality pop-up trees on the market. Meaning your family can bring the festivities to any house, cottage or even caravan, without having to compromise on your tree\u2019s appearance or impressiveness.<\/p>\n Let it Snow\u2026 At Home<\/p>\n With the likes of Winter Wonderland in London cancelled this year and question marks over winter breaks going ahead, 2020 is set to see more people investing in elaborate Christmas d\u00e9cor to recreate their favourite winter wonderlands closer to home. Everyone knows that a festive display is not complete without snow, which is why flocked trees that recreate the appearance of branches sprinkled with snow are proving to be a popular choice this season. Snowy trees are a fantastic way to create a picture-perfect scene and capture the magic of Christmas from the comfort of your own home, while the frosted branches bring a sense of lightness and delicacy to an interior.<\/p>\n Traditional Realism<\/p>\n Christmas is a time of beloved traditions and the familiar comforts of winter, which is why embracing the traditional Victorian-era aesthetic of Christmas is a top tree trend for 2020. When it comes to creating an interior that captures the classic elegance of Christmases past, a tree that has both grandeur and authenticity is key. Opting for an artificial tree with 3 dimensional designs will add that greater sense of realism to your d\u00e9cor, so it\u2019s no surprise that high-quality and luxurious models are more in demand this year.<\/p>\n Monochrome Magic<\/p>\n If you favour the alternative and traditional interior isn\u2019t your thing, then this year\u2019s wildcard trend of black trees is sure to be one that you can get on board with. While black may be an unconventional palette for Christmas d\u00e9cor, this modern take on a Christmas tree is a chic and stylish choice right now, as 2020 has seen significant increases in sales of this shade. For keen decorators and lovers of all things Halloween, this tree trend is not only one for Christmas, but a perfect addition to your home this October 31st.<\/p>\n Garden Greens<\/p>\n The spring\/summer trend of garden makeovers is expected to spill over into the winter months, as outdoor Christmas trees and d\u00e9cor is set to be a top trend for those with both little and large amounts of outdoor space. Bringing warmth to wherever they are placed, LED trees are a dazzling outdoor-friendly favourite this year, while more unusually shaped artificial trees are a great choice for those who embrace the avant-garde. If you are rather cautious when it comes to your interior Christmas d\u00e9cor, the trend for garden Christmas d\u00e9cor is a great way to experiment with new tree shapes and styles while creating an impressive festive display.<\/p>\n To find out more about Christmas Tree World, visit: www.christmastreeworld.co.uk<\/p>\n SPOIL YOUR PARENTS THIS CHRISTMAS WITH THE ULTIMATE GIFT GUIDE FROM THE WORKS<\/strong><\/p>\n There\u2019s no time like Christmas to show your parents just how much they mean to you with some fun and thoughtful gifts.

<\/p>\n
\nWith Jigsaw Infrared heating panels, the only limit is your imagination.
\nJigsaw Infrared offer a custom-printed option to their energy-efficient, slimline heating panels so that you can use whatever image you like to transform a simple heating panel into a stunning focal point.
\nMuch like printing onto a canvas, the images are digitally produced – the best thing is that they disguise what could be seen as something rather plain, ordinary and utilitarian into something altogether more interesting!
\nWhether you choose the rectangular aluminium panels or the glass panels which come in a variety of shapes there are a number of power options to choose from to ensure you have the right size of heater for the space you are looking to heat.<\/p>\n
\nare available in any RAL colour to match or contrast with your decor.<\/p>\n
\nThe clever thing about infrared heating is that, like the sun (but without the potentially harmful UV rays), it heats the people and objects in the room as it touches them – rather than heating the air.<\/p>\n
\nThey are easy to install and maintenance-free \u2013 so no annual service contracts!<\/p>\n
\nInfrared heating panels aimed at damp walls can also help to dry them out thus reducing the chance of mould developing.<\/p>\n
\n\u2022 Eco \u2013 Almost zero energy wastage, emission-free and 100% recyclable
\n\u2022 Easy to install \u2013 No expensive plumber bills or unsightly pipes
\n\u2022 Wall-mounted \u2013 Or ceiling mounted if you need space
