March 24, 2016 By in Lifestyle Tags: , , , , , , , , , , 18 Comments

I still cannot believe Easter is just a couple of days away. The year seems to be flying away already right? I am so happy we have a long weekend ahead, and I have loads of actvities planned out, so it should be fun. I am usually up for exchanging gifts every chance I get, so I make the most of every opportunity. I know there are so many gift guides floating around the web as you read this post, so I decided to come up with a slightly different last minute gift guide. This Easter Gift Guide for 2016, is for those people in your life, that like quirky home and personal gifts, you may get some ideas on here for them.

 

Shabby Chic Wicker Laundry Basket

This Shabby Chic Laundry Basket is a thoughtful gift to give a ‘home-body’. It might fill in a gap. I know I like to have my laundry in order, in a handy storage, so I would have loved to own this rather than those flimsy storage net baskets. This originally goes for £60, but it is currently on sale at House of Fraser for £40.

 

NutriBullet 12 Piece 600 Series Juicer Blender

 

NutriBullet

 

This NutriBullet is great for the fitness freaks, people interested in eating and drinking healthy, detox and the works. We have a NutriBullet in our home, so I can testify to how great this handy gadget is. You can grab this at on Argos, Amazon, and many other departmental stores. Prices usually start from £69.99.

Yankee Candles

Scented candles are great for ‘home-bodies’, and for anyone who likes their home smelling good. Yankee Candles are amazing scented candles to own and to give away as a gift. There are widely available at House of Fraser, and many other stores, so run some searches online to get the best deal.

 

Amazon Kindle

Amazon Kindle

 

Investing in an Amazon Kindle 5 years ago was one of the best things I ever did. My clothes, shoes and bags didn’t have to compete with my ever-growing book collection. I also found myself reading more as it was so convenient. This is a great gift idea for the book lovers in your life. Prices vary depending on what you want, so check them over on Amazon.

So there you have it, my Easter Gift Guide for 2016. What are your thoughts? Do share.

Thanks for reading this post, have a great day.

When I got an email offering me a chance to review the Rug Doctor’s latest product – Portable Spot Cleaner, I took the offer with both hands. We regularly rent the Rug Doctor Machine to deep clean the carpets every now and again, so this was a golden opportunity. We have a cream carpets all over the house, and with two busy toddlers and a blogger that is forever testing various samples and staining the carpets, we cannot afford not to clean our carpets regularly. So you can imagine how excited I was to try out this new machine.

The Rug Doctor Portable Spot Cleaner was sent along with the following products:

Rug Doctor Portable Machine Spot Cleaner

High Foot Traffic Cleaner

Rug Doctor Oxy Cleaner

Here is what Rug Doctor had to say about the new machine:

RUG DOCTOR – The Next Generation Clean.

x2 Suction* compared to leading portable carpet cleaners
The ONLY Portable Spot Cleaner with a handheld motorised brush for deep down cleaning
No more carrying. Comes with wheels and a new retractable handle that allows you to effortlessly wheel the machine to the stain… and back! Size of machine allows easy storage.

Here are my thoughts:

PROS

  1. It does the job. Most of stains and spots on our carpets are gone.
  2. It is very portable; the luggage style handle and carpet friendly wheels means it is quite easy to move around, this is particularly great when cleaning the staircases.
  3. The machine is readily available to buy from Rug Doctor, Tesco, Morrisons, Argos, B&Q, and other stores.
  4. It is cheaper and more convenient than hiring professionals to do the clean. You can grab yours at £154.99.

CONS

  1. We couldn’t clean the carpets in an upright position, like how you would vacuum, we had to bend down all through the cleaning.

Overall, I will recommend the Rug Doctor Portable Spot Removal Cleaner to anyone whose carpet is needing a bit of TLC, and a good clean. It is perfect for busy families with children and pets. It is a handy machine to have around.

*PR Samples included.
