I hadn't realised that January has already gone, and February is here. Too quickly already, the fast approaching celebration of love is nearly upon us! I have had my head down looking for great new presents , about which I am really excited. They won't be here for Valentine's day, but we still have a great choice of great presents for your loved one. The 14th of February isn't only for girls, and you can celebrate that special relationship with something for him too! My husband doesn't read my blog, so I won't be giving anything away by sharing with you my ideas for him.
Last year he was given this fabulous 24" shoehorn, which he uses all the time.
My thinking this year, is perhaps a military wet pack. I love these English leather washbags as they are so cleverly designed and are great replicas of the wash bags soldiers used in the First World War. They have got fab pockets to fit in all those bits and pieces.
i will let you know what he thinks!
What are you thinking of giving? And what is the best present that you have given him....keep it clean!!!
