I was hanging out at Salt's Mill in Saltaire this weekend, and whilst browsing around the home section I found a lovely gift for my nana's birthday. This is a lovely little napkin holder with a lovely little bird detail. Ideal as my nana loves the outdoors and she loves birds even more. It was only £3.95 for the napkin holder and £2.50 for the miniature napkins. That's a total of £6.45! As it was such a bargain I thought it would be nice to buy some matching wrapping paper to tie everything together. So I also bought this lovely bird sheet wrap, also from Salts's Mill, for £2.50. This brought my final total to £8.95. Marvellous.

My friend, Amanda, has just got engaged and I couldn't be happier for her! So I jumped at the chance to buy her a present for the occasion. I bought her a cute little book called Fortune Telling for Brides. This book was created especially for brides-to-be and features tonnes of funny little insights of everything from colour palettes and proposals to flowers and flower girls.

Turkish Baths, Harrogate


And, as if being engaged wasn't exciting enough - it's also her 30th birthday! And since it is such a special birthday I thought I would get her something extra special. I have bought her a voucher to visit the Turkish Baths and Health Spa in Harrogate.

The vouchers are valid at anytime for the next 12 months so she can go at any time she chooses. What's great is that, with the vouchers, you have the option to visit the baths for their steam room, plunge pool, relaxation room and 3 heated chambers. Or you can take advantage of some of their many treatments including a range of body and beauty treatments and alternative therapies. They even have special treatments for men and pregnant women if your looking for something for a partner or a pampering present for a mum-to-be. The vouchers are sold in £5, £10 or £20 and mine came the very next day. They also included a copy of their brochure so she can browse and see what treatments are available before she goes.
