Christmas Gifts for Him

Kraken Rum with Mason Jar Gift Set

Now I am not a big drinker so when it comes to a little tipple, I want to ensure its a good one! So this year I have been hinting for some Kraken rum. And what’s better than just a bottle of Kraken rum? A lovely gift set which includes a fancy branded glass, perfect for those idyllic night caps.

Kraken black spiced rum is made with a secret blend of herbs and spices but, you will find flavours of liquorice, vanilla, cinnamon, clove, ginger and orange. Leaving you with a sensuous and warm feeling!

The gift set is available for £17.95 from 31dover.com.

Nikko Air DRL Elite 115 Drone

Loving tech, I have been a bit slow on the uptake when it come to drones, so this year I want to fix that. I have been leaving plenty of hints for a drone pitched at my level, not overly complicated but packing enough punch to keep my interest.

Enter the Nikko Air DRL Elite 115, it has three different flight modes and speeds. It also has 16 one touch stunts to preform, which certainly is great when you want to show off your skills! If you are still a bit apprehensive you can install the DRL Simulator on your PC or Mac and practice with the same controller as the real thing!

Costing between £39.99 – £49.99 be sure to shop around to get a bargain!

Find me a Gift

This year I know she could think of plenty to have on her list, however I have already got a good head start by heading over to Find me a Gift. First on the list is a perfectly scented candle, to ensure she can unwind after a day looking after the boys! The apothecary candles have a great look and are very reasonably priced at £6.99 each.

And secondly I have heard on more that one occasion that she really likes the look of a Light Up Message Box. These boxes can really set a mood of a room and priced at just £11.99 it would be rude not to add this to the list!

Milk Frother

With the Mrs enjoying a morning coffee to start the day, to make it that little extra special I have decided we need a Milk Frother. VonShef offer a premium option, perfect for the cold days. The model comes with two attachments, a wire accessory for frothing and a plastic one for heating. With heating milk to 65 degrees within seconds, it really can deliver cafe style drinks in the comfort of your own home.

The VonShef Milk Frother has an RRP of £49.99, but you can snap up a bargain on Amazon for £29.99.

Braun Silk Epil 9

I think the Mrs has been dropping hints for a new Braun. After some quick research The Braun Silk Epil 9 seems to offer numerous features for the money. The main benefit of epilation is the ability to remove hair much closer to the skin than that of say wax. With additional accessories this Braun can transform into a fully functional spa, with attachments that can give a massage and a facial cleansing brush to leave you feeling fresh faced and ready for life.

Having the ability to use this device in both wet and dry is another great feature, with a fast charge time of 1 hour 40 mins the should be no holding you back! The RRP is £179.99 available from Amazon currently.

Spearmark Boot Light

Having two football mad boys means that this has to feature for Christmas. Finding novel new items can be tricky, however I have stumble upon Spearmark who current have plenty of night lights on offer, from Football to Starwars. The boys have always loved their night lights, not to get them through the night but when they make dens.

They really seem to become a central part of their imaginary play. With the Boot Light RRP of £12.99 it can certainly help fill some space under the tree!

Mitre Star Wars

So whats better than football gear? Football gear mixed with the boys other favorite thing Star Wars. This Mitre Star Wars set is a 2 in 1 goal, with one side a normal goal and the other a point scoring target that really adds some competitiveness. The goal itself pops up within seconds, meaning a quick game is always at hand!

Being lightweight and portable you can take this anywhere you go! The goal has an RRP of £30.00.

Jumbo Games Turkey’s Delight Puzzle

Puzzle have always been Christmas tradition, and more recently we have been challenging ourselves with bigger and bigger versions. So this year we are really raising the bar from the usual 250 piece puzzle the boys have come to expect. This year we will be presenting them (and us) with a 1000 piece puzzle the Turkey’s Delight, there is nothing better than the silent of looking for puzzle pieces and the yelp of finding a piece that fits!

So here is to the post Christmas Day puzzle silence – I wonder if we will get this completed by the new year! This puzzle retails for £12.99.

Itty Bittys

If you are still scouting around like me for the perfect gifts to fill you children’s stockings, then look no further than Itty Bittys. The range has grown quite a bit in recent months and now have a great selection of Superheros, the likes of Hulk and Ironman are sure to be a hit. My favorite has to be Groot!

Although it doesn’t stop as superheros, there are many ranges to be collected. Scooby Doo, Flintstones and Starwars to name a few. The great thing about these pocket size companions they will only set you back between £6 – £8 each!
