So go along to 7 Antelope Walk and have the Purbeck candle experience because they don't just sell candles and we know you will just love the Purbeck Candles exquisite natural home fragrances.
MERRY PEOPLE
Both of us are outdoor girls but we still like to feel and look stylish. We were delighted to try the Merry People Bobbi Ankle Wellington Boots. The most comfortable waterproof boot we have ever tried. And yes they are Wellington's but look like a stylish Chelsea boot so you can be out and about and be in complete comfort and still look great and have dry feet! The only problem being, which colour to choose! There are a whopping thirteen colours in the Bobbi range and that's before you begin to discover the other boot ranges they have available. They truly have a boot for everyone and everything country.
URBAN APOTHECARY
Now we love a candle, especially one that is natural and provides a sense of well-being. And that is why we have chosen this beautiful candle from Urban Apothecary's Well-being range. These hand poured candles are made of a vegan wax and we just love the Lavender Dream as Urban Apothecary has achieved just the right balance to truly allow you to relax and enjoy its aromatic aromas and the 300g candle has a wonderful 60 hour burning time.
HAIER
The Haier series 5 compact food processor is a must have kitchen essential. With its double stacked blades it can chop and purée effortlessly. It has a non-slip base and a lid and chops at two speeds for a truly professional result. Not only is it stylish but it is powerful and when the job is done, the blades and the glass bowl can be slipped into the dishwasher for ease of cleaning. Every cook's dream small appliance.
Haier has also produced a fabulous multi air fryer that will look good in any kitchen. But not only does it look good but it cooks good. It has 9 food prep functions including baking, roasting, slow cooking and reheating and has a LED lit window so you can keep an eye on your food as it cooks. With its 2000 watt power and 7 Litre capacity this air fryer is ready to whip up a tasty meal for all the family! And when the cooking is done the basket goes in the dishwasher, what could be simpler. And we love quality appliances that tick all the boxes and this air fryer is definitely one of them!
TENDERFLAME
We love this Tenderflame Lilly 10 Gift set. We chose the lush copper colour and the set also comes with a pen torch lighter and fuel ,so you're ready to go. We think this would create a wonderful ambience in any room and because its tender fuel is non toxic and perfectly safe to use inside. But we also think it would look amazing on a garden table on a warm summer's night!
FILBERTS OF DORSET
Filberts of Dorset have done it again! We all have that someone who is Impossible to buy for, but Filberts beautiful gift sets make it easy. We love this one as it is for gardeners and Allotmenteers, it contains a muscle rub and all gardeners know how much this is needed, it also contains garden twine and bee friendly seed! We also really love this Gardeners Gift Tin, This contains Hand Salve, Propolis Salve and bee friendly seeds , and the tin can then be used for seed storage. Both sets make excellent stocking fillers and Gardener Gifts.
AENO
AENO smart kitchen scales are every budding chefs must have. Being able to pop a bowl on and add ingredients and then reset and add more makes cooking a dream. Choosing how you weigh with the touch of a button from pound to grams is only just the beginning. These Aeno scale are no ordinary scales. They are smart scales because they have smart app functionality. So if your watching your weight you can use the app and it expansive data base as an extensive part of your nutrition and health journey. Now that's SMART!

Fusion 1000 mile walk socks are the ultimate in walk wear because they are guaranteed to be blister free. A fantastic gift for the adventurer who has it all. It has a double layer so that the inner layer moves with the foot while the other layer moves with the shoe eliminating friction. And with its extra padding for the toe ball and heel zones it provides comfort on the longest of hikes.

We just love the Kangtega Quarter Zip Jumper in Rathee Blue. Named after a major mountain peak in the Nepalese Himalayas, also known as snow saddle. Made of 100% Merino wool so it is odour resistant, naturally wicking, quick drying and warm for its weight.
