Happy New Year!  

There's great news from two gift experience companies for you until the end of 2025 - they are both offering discount codes!

This gives you a good chance to go and have a browse and take a look at what they've got.  

Red Letter Days and BuyaGift have thousands of experiences, and they've even got some online experiences as well so that you can do something from home.  

They have garden experiences and visits, flower arranging, animal experiences, days out, theatres, photography, arts and crafts - there's so much to choose from.

If you're buying for someone who would love to be pampered, there are spa days and beauty treatments, or if they aren't really into that, they are lots of food and drink experiences.  As well as cookery workshops and courses for people who like to have a go at something new, if you're looking for a gift for someone who prefers to just sit and chill, there's lots of Afternoon Teas, meals out, and drink experiences, from wine and beer to gin and whisky.

So how do you get your code?  Just use the codes below - they are valid until 31 December 2024 and are site wide, even covering special offers and 2 for 1s.  Some products are excluded from these codes.

Photos are a great way to bring people together, even if you just look at someone's picture on a mug or a slate or blanket.  

It has been said that a picture paints a thousand words and Printerpix has photo gifts to remind you all of those special moments.  They have collage canvas, photobooks, custom blankets, photo prints, photo mugs, jigsaws puzzles and much more!

How about a blanket?  You can put your photos of your personal memories on it, 
and they can snuggle up under it!
You choose the size and what the blanket is made from e.g. cosy fleece or Sherpa fleece. 
They've got cat blankets as well, and gifts for pet lovers.

And you don't have to have the picture of one person - you could have a photo of a much cherished pet, or a picture of the two of you enjoying a moment, or a place that means a lot to them.   

How about canvas prints to decorate a wall with and to bring memoires alive?
There are different sizes and edge designs, and wood frames. 

Tell the tail (!) of your cherished pet, 
or give a loved one a photo book to show the bond between them and their family member.

Printerpix has some great offers, just in time for Mother's Day.

It’s National Nestbox Week which runs from the 14^th to the 21^st February every year.

It’s an important week, because the places available to our feathered friends have decreased over the years, so nestboxes matter to birds.  There are fewer nest holes in buildings, and our fashion of making our gardens neat and tidy has removed a lot of places where birds have traditionally nested and rested.

Enter National Nestbox Week.  Its website has lots of help for you if you want to get involved and give garden birds a nestbox, including where to put one, when to put one up, how to care for it, and even how to make your own.   There’s even advice for architects, landscapers and developers.

Visit National Nestbox Week’s website here.
